目前定居東京的A.Kosemura，自2006開始職業音樂人生涯，曲子更廣泛被收錄在美國、德國、比利時、法國、加拿大與澳洲等獨立廠牌合輯中，這無疑增加了他的信心，同年更進一步建立自己的音樂廠牌〝schole〞(出自古希臘文，即閒暇的意思)，不但出版專輯，還發行免費雜誌，介紹訪問氣質相近的音樂人與藝術家，還有特色地方遊記與音樂活動記事等。今年應澳洲前衛流行音樂廠牌Someone Good邀請出版首張個人專輯《It’s on Everything》，獲得廣泛好評。
這回他終於在自己的廠牌發表個人專輯，鋼琴、木吉他、口風琴等原音樂器演奏與電子聲響以簡約細緻的方式疊合行進，音樂的靈動讓人彷彿"聽見"山河、森林與湖泊的景色，旋律間時而飛躍時而低迴，音樂中透露出的淡淡的哀愁，大概反映著小瀬村晶對當前大自然破壞的不捨吧。
::REVIEWS::
Tokyo based musician and frontman of Schole imprint and magazine which gathers Japanese and international artists involved in music and other art forms.
Kosemura has released an EP (‘In a Distant Forest Somewhere’, Monotonik, 2006), his first full-length album ‘It’s On Everything’ (Someone Good, 2007) and recently ‘Tiny Musical’ his third album released on Schole.
Again Kosemura delivers a delicate work on which he plays piano, guitar, melodica, field recordings and laptop.
Every piece is crafted with subtle and elegant piano notes that suggest a deep listening. A real cinematic experience about beauty, silence and nature.
If I have to chose one song that one should be ‘Shorebird’ with its gorgeous raindrops. Brilliant!

There's something very comfortable and appealing about Akira Kosemura's music. Over the past few years his body of work has grown and matured and now with this release I think he's reached a new level of refined simplicity and beauty. For the most part this is an album of three distinct ingredients; electronics, piano and guitar. They're put together with such loving care and well crafted arrangements that it's hard not to adore it. There's a modern classical touch to a couple of the piano pieces in particular and I don't think I'd be far off the mark if I said you could certainly hear a Michael Nyman-esque influence in there. The crunchier, electronica moments back up the organic tones superbly and it's a chilled out, relaxed album all round. With an abundance of melody and a deft touch on the production Akira has truly delivered a magical album. I'm a big fan of this and, as such, it's a recommendation.
