For some people, music is as important as the air they breathe, this can
also be said for Monaural Voice, and itÆs shown on their new album ôAirö à
Their style of music is without limits, without rules or boundaries,
incorporating a wide variety of music styles in order to produce their own
unique pop- universe.
The songs û which can be like loud anarchic off-beat music and then again
calm, melancholic or, at other points, enchantedû are woven together by an
impressive solid pop- song writing.
However, this doesnÆt surprise if one takes a look at the musical
influences of Monaural Voice:: "Beatles, Beach Boys, Prince, Stevie
Wonder, Sergio Mendes....many many artists. I was also influenced by the
cinema music of my childhood. "Great Gatsby", "Condor", "007", "Melody
fair"......"
Music in the family
Monaural Voice is the married couple Jun and Yoko Kiyama living together
with their two children and two cats in Kawasaki, the neighbouring city of
Tokyo. But how did it come about that a married couple are playing
together in a jazz- band?
As most Japanese teenagers, Jun loved music and played in a band. The band
played at a couple of venues and made their first demos, but the more
serious Jun outgrew the others and developed his song writing.
And so, an experienced musician and producer was born, playing over the
years with many different musicians and singers.
Always seeking that special voice, until now his search for the perfect
singer was fruitless.
1988, Jun asked Yoko to help him with the recording of some demo-tapes. It
came to him as a great surprise that Yoko had the voice he had been
searching for such a long time- and so, ôMonaural Voiceö was born à and it
seems like in ôAirö that the family has grown. Just listen for yourself à
