■Empty old City
Formed in 2021, it was born as a music project originating from internet culture.
Comprised of Neuron, the creator and composer/producer, and Kahoca, the ennui and transparent singer who plays the role of the storyteller, they create a story that feels like a story, a fleeting and beautiful fantastic melody, and a dense electro sound. An artist with a unique sense of the world that crosses over.
It has attracted attention both domestically and internationally, creating a theatrical and upper-class electro sound that depicts a fantastic utopian/dystopian story about a post-civilization society, a world where the natural environment and technology are fused, and a familiar scene that is different from the usual. It gives you an alternative feeling of seeing it from an angle = a slipstream experience.
At the moment, he does not show his face, and is mainly active on the Internet while keeping an eye on live activities.
In April 2024, a new chapter will begin with the release of the digital single “Buffer” from KAMITSUBAKI STUDIO.
