Hiroya Tsukamoto takes us on an innovative, impressionistic journey filled with earthy, organic soundscapes that impart a mood of peace and tranquility. His music has been described as cinematic guitar poetry, drawing on the rich history of stories, poetry, and Japanese folk.

In the years since, he has performed internationally, including several appearances as the front man of the group Blue Note in New York City. He has released six albums as the leader of Blue Note. He has also performed and appeared on major international televisions stations, including NHK (Japan’s National Broadcasting Corporation) and EBS (South Korea’s National Educational Broadcasting System).
