Background

The sounds of Kodama Cloud are heavily influenced by experimental electronic music of the earlier days by such bands like Jean-Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, Nash the Slash and experimentation of earlier Pink Floyd from the Syd Barret days.

Song titles have been strongly influenced by the Studio Ghibli movie Princess Mononoke, primarily in line with the theme of balance in all things from nature to future advancement.

… From the driving beats of a dance floor in a night club to the relaxing peacefulness of being alone with nature to the violence of nature when balance is thrown amuck by humankind. Kodama Cloud captures the essance of the moods of nature in electronic form for listeners to enjoy.

Originally formed in 2016 but never went public till 2018 with it’s first single “No Introduction”
