What about this Japanese composer/pianist?
on: October 24, 2007, 09:28:28 PM
Named Tempei Nakamura


I saw someone posting this on an other forum and I was blew away by his works! Maybe not really the taste of everyone who's on this forum, but Tempei Nakamura is a great composer and pianist imo! Also, I think he has a great technique too!

See/hear for yourself:



Etude c-moll:

Well, I really like most of his works! What do you think about him?

I love this kind of music, but not these particular pieces.

I was raised with Japanese-minimalist-modern-classical music (....), so I'm very familiar with these types of compositions.  I've seen these vids around, and I think that with western society (in reference to the entire media/music scene) and it's fascination with Japanese culture and whatnot, that this guy can get pretty far.

But when it comes to this kind of music, I kinda set my standard at composers like Takahashi, Takemitsu, Tokuyama etc... (wow, alot of T's!)  And this also includes other east asian composers, like Tan Dun, Chen Yi, etc...

I'm not really "into" this kinda music. Do you have any videos to share of the music you're talking about? :)
