Cornelius

major - aktiv (1993 - )

Influenced by "the three B's" - Beck, The Beatles, and The Beach Boys - Cornelius is considered a musical genius and one of the most important and well-known figures in Shibuya-kei and the Japanese electronic scene. His music is atmospheric and thought-provoking, experimenting and exploring with seemingly dissonant or mundane sounds to create richly layered soundscapes.
