Cinq


Cinq is the solo project of Masaaki Takemura, born in Nagano, Japan. He started playing the guitar when he was a junior high school student and encountered Jazz at high school. As a college student, he performed in his jazz combo at clubs in Kyoto. Later he got samplers and sequencers, when he shifted his musical focus away from playing in the band to composing and recording. He participated in Harbest 2000 for the club king and a compilation album on the ambient label Ryoondo-tea for which he scouted for new artists and produced some albums. Also as a member of snoweffect which started under the concept music for tea space, he released a full album and made commercial music. Cinq released his first album Sketch as the noble label's second artist on April 25, 2002. The serene texture of the sound in the album was highly praised as a tapestry of electronic sounds. His second album, Day Off, was released on August 25, 2004. Kazumi Nikaidoh and DJ Klock contributed to the album. Besides his music activity, he has a Doctor of Science degree and works as a researcher in biotechnology. Read more on Last.fm.
