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. ::discography:: Telescope (mü-nest, 2010) ::website:: http://www.okamotonoriaki.com ::myspace:: http://www.myspace.com/okamotonoriaki
