Meitei
Blending contemporary sound techniques with profound reverence for Japanese folklore, Meitei is a Hiroshima-based composer driven by a concept he refers to as “lost Japanese mood”, aesthetics from a bygone era that are gradually dissipating from Japan’s cultures. This led to the creation of Meitei’s musical art, which exists between the temporal gap between past and present, with his unmistakable blend of ambient, hip-hop and experimental musical sensibilities.
With his groundbreaking and iconic trilogy series—Kwaidan (Evening Chants), Komachi (Métron Records) and Kofū (Part I & II) (KITCHEN. LABEL)—all of which possess their own musical themes and energies; Meitei has quickly become one of the recent trailblazers in ambient music. Championing and reframing the rich history and diversity of Japanese music and culture to global listeners, Meitei has garnered the highest accolades from The Wire, Pitchfork and has performed in music festivals such as MUTEK Barcelona 2020, SWEET LOVE SHOWER SPRING 2022, and has also completed his first Japan release tour in 2022. Beside his solo works, Meitei was commissioned by world renowned brands such as Cartier and Shiseido’s IPSA to create original music for their campaigns.
Kin Leonn
Affectionately known as the “ambient boy from Singapore”, Kin Leonn is an artist, composer, pianist, and producer. His creative nascence as founding member of electronic act midst in 2015 established him as an exciting, versatile presence in Singapore’s indie scene.
In 2018, he made his solo debut as the youngest artist under KITCHEN. LABEL, and; his music has since been featured on KEXP and BBC Radio. Following this, he has released a collaborative EP with Japanese sound artist Hiroshi Ebina, performed numerous sold-out shows in both London and Singapore, and composed surround-channel ambient experiences for London’s Architectural Association and Happy House for Singapore Art Week. Kin Leonn is also a first class graduate of the London College of Music with a BA (Hons) in Music Mixing and Mastering.
