Artist Information
Biography “A genuine talent who can clearly hold his own as a solo performer . . . armed with a loop pedal, [Takenobu] constructs gorgeous soundscapes . . and it’s the rich, multi-ranged vocals that carry [the music] over the top.” -Ben Krieger, JezebelMusic.com Takénobu is a combination of the Japanese characters in Nick’s father and grandfather’s names. Roughly translated, Takenobu means “iron-will.” Takenobu’s original songs and folk renditions travel through a layered soundscape of percussive pizzicato and legato bowed lines to a distinctively contemporary sound. With a vocal range that encompasses the entire breadth of the cello, Takenobu’s bass-baritone depth is where he sounds most at home. “Takenobu:Introduction is my favorite album of 2007, and that includes all releases, major labels and independent.” Michael Eck, Host of WAMC’s Performance Place, NPR Instrumentation Discography |
