Tomoyoshi Date

 
Born and raised in San Paulo, Brazil until the age of three, Tomoyoshi Date resides in Tokyo, Japan. He creates acoustic and organic sounds with a little touch of digital processing, a very original minimal music like a combination of the warmness of Brazil and the delicateness of Japan. Drawing from the influences of rock, jazz and post-rock music, he started to create electronic music in 1998. Soon, his tracks were featured on the Fat Cat and Mille Plateaux websites and radio stations in the US. He formed the group Opitope in 2003 with Chihei Hatakeyama (Kranky, Room40, Spekk), ILLUHA with Corey Fuller (with releases on Spekk and 12K), and Melodía with Federico Durand (Own Records, Home Normal). In 2008, Date released his first solo album Human Being from Flyrec, followed by his second solo album Otoha on Own Records in 2011. Date is a physician who practices an integrated approach of Eastern and Western Medicines. Currently, Date is researching tumor immunity, and as a lifework hopes to research the relationships between music, eastern medicine and the brain.
