Hiroshi Yoshimura

[2][3] His music lies mostly in the minimalist genre of kankyō ongaku, or environment music—soft electronic melodies infused with the sounds of nature: babbling brooks, steady rain, and morning birds.[3] The 70's saw Yoshimura heavily inspired by Brian Eno, who had a similar minimalist ambient style.[5][4][6] In 2017, Yoshimura, as well as other ambient Japanese musicians, received a resurgence due to changes to the YouTube algorithm.[9] Malcolm Standing for Demo Magazine referred to Yoshimura as "one of the most influential and prolific of the artists to come out of Japan’s ambient renaissance".[10] Tom Moon of NPR noted Yoshimura as "one of the revered pioneers of Japanese electronic music".
