code”M”は2000年4月、作曲家でありピアニストであるMAKIが、自らがプロデューサーとなり、発足させたパフォーマンスグループである。楽曲は、MAKIのオリジナル曲を中心とし、その他にもクラシック、ジャズ、日本民謡、民族音楽等といったジャンルより、独創的にアレンジした作品が多数ある。またライブコンセプトによって、映像、美術、ダンス等とコラボレーションした、視覚で楽しめるコンサートも行なっている。これまでに9年間に渡り、延べ30シリーズを越えるコンサートを開催するに至り、2007年には待望の1stアルバム「Blue Zone」を発表。また活動過程で西洋楽器だけの編成に留まらず、日本文化を表現する伝統楽器とそれを継承する奏者との共演回数を重ね、2ndアルバム「和楽〜華の乱〜」をリリースした。近年は国際的レセプション、企業との提携ライブを通じ、code”M”の音楽発信は日本のみならず、世界に向けて行なわれている。

code "M" has held a total of 30 series of concerts over 9 years, and released its long-awaited 1st album "Blue Zone" in 2007. Then, in the activity process, not stopping with compilations with western musical instruments, but by the collection of numerous performances with traditional Japanese musical instruments that express Japanese culture and the players who have inherited those instruments, the 2nd album "WARAKU-Glamorous Feast-" was released. In recent years, in addition to holding regular concerts that include Japanese musical instruments which have gained popularity nationally and internationally, musical productions for company receptions (BVLGARI, CHAUMET,etc.) and hotel weddings at designer hotels have also gained much success.
