profile
 pianist,
composer
Shigematsu Sohichiroh (SOSO)
Born in 1973, in Osaka, he grew up in Yokohama, Japan.
Travelling around the country playing only his own original
compositions, Soso touches the hearts of young and old with
his unique sound. He's an independent artist playing about
a hundred concerts a year, but hasn't signed to any major
record label, which is quite rare for a professional musician
in Japan .
His music is the sound of love for every life form, however
small. It's "symbiotic music" for people and nature,
and all living things.
When Soso plays it's as if the hearts of every single person
in the audience are reflected in his sound, which resonates
through to the depths of our modern day minds.
He also organises ecology and peace events in borderless collaboration
with other artists from genres such as art, literature and
food.
In 2004, Soso played in New York and Iowa , U.S.A. , and again
in New York in 2006.
He co-produced the soundtrack for the documentary about the
Dalai Lama's visit to Japan in April 2005.
He assisted in the recording of "The Flight of the Hummingbird",
a song inspired by the famous tale from South America, by
Anja Light, the singer song writer and environmentalist from
Australia .
Soso also appeared in several radio and TV shows, and as he
continues to travel the world his musical expression extends
further.
" When I go into a forest, I feel life of all living
things. Those are the origin of my music.
Generally, art may be created for human. But I want to play
music for all living things. I think that is my role as a
member of the earth. " |
