Chihei Hatakeyama (畠山地平, Hatakeyama Chihei, born in 1978,
Kanagawa Prefecture[1]) is an
electronic music artist from
Tokyo,
Japan. He grew up in the suburbs of
Fujisawa.[2] He released his first full-length album, Minima Moralia on
Kranky in 2006. He is the owner of the record label White Paddy Mountain which he launched in 2010.[3][4]
Hatakeyama's music is characteristically very slow, composed by repeatedly processing guitars, pianos, and vibraphones on a
laptop. The result is a mix of droning chords and sparse single instruments rising above the mix. His music may be classified as either
ambient music,
experimental music or
new-age music. Chihei Hatakeyama has released over 70 albums as of 2020.[5]
