Hiroshi Watanabe, better known as Kaito, is set to present his latest album ‘Collection’ on September 13th. The LP comprises nine ambient and melodious tracks, with the single ‘Silent Sky’ already out as a preview.
‘Collection’ compiles a selection of Kaito’s EPs and singles initially released on his Bandcamp profile between 2020 and 2022, now re-edited and remastered by InFiné. True to the ambient genre, the record features atmospheric tracks with sustained synthesizer notes, soaring layers, and occasionally hypnotic sequences. His melodic approach and mastery of string and keyboard harmonies set him apart, drawing inspiration from jazz and classical music.

Over twenty-nine years, he has released over twenty albums and nearly a hundred singles, exploring various electronic genres under multiple pseudonyms.
