text :=

okamotonoriaki is an audio-visual artist based in Tokyo . The 1983 Osaka-born Tama Arts University Graphic Design graduate has been well-recognized for his works since his under-graduate days with his graduation video piece earning him the Encouragement Prize of the Japan Media Arts Festival.

The freelance audio-visual artist is an awarded talent whose accolades includes the “Golden Wings” 2008 Digital Creators Award, The 10th TBS DigiCon6 “Sunrise Award”, DOTMOV FESTIVAL 2008 Shortlist and NHK Digital Stadium’s “Best Selection”.

Noriaki is an artist who believes that the process of producing video or music is the process of outputting little stories that come up in my mind. Each work is like a note to remember the little story that popped up from nowhere.

It is with thus that Noriaki presents his exquisite brand of cinematic, imaginative electronica filled with intricate, inter-weaving piano lines, warm, adventurous synths, and lively, mesmerizing drumbeat programming, capturing the very essence of his audio-visual storytelling prowess and ingenuity in his moving debut album Telescope.
