About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

There is a certain timelessness to the music, almost a dream-like state that lures listeners into a reverie of unusual comfort, yet with words that keep the mind alert and questioning. It brings the inner, subconscious self to the surface, and our collective self into light.The recording you hear here is the culmination of three musician's time together and has served as a testament to this. Koto's music is changing. A new incarnation is afoot.
