fans of quirky pop electronica have long been privy to the genius of japanese artist cornelius (aka: Keigo Oyamada); a multi instrumentalist with a knack for mashing everyday sounds with layered bleeps and vocals. but rather than alienating the listener with a self indulgent repetoire, cornelius creates a fun and wacky world that you can't wait to be a part of.
with influences that range from the beach boys to beck to my bloody valentine, when popping in his latest album 'sensuous', you can't help but anticipate that you're in for a bit of an aural treat.
here's a taster:
cornelius - music
[i love this song!!!! the video is just plain awesome! simple yet totally trippy and creative at the same time. it's just genius really, totally like the song]
cornelius - beep it
[once again a really simple yet hypnotic video. this time channelling a bit of daft punk with this song, then mixed in with a live version.]
cornelius - fit song
[the video is amazing!!!! stop motion never looked so good]
cornelius - gum
[not as catchy as 'music' but the vocal bleeps set to this rock-out track shows you the diversity of cornelius' madness]
