Blending elements of 70's musical influences (ala; Bowie, Elton John, Lou Reed, Dylan) with modern synthesis and eerily addictive melodies (see; Flaming Lips, American Music Club, Brian Wilson..) This singer/songwriter ambitiously attempts the seamless blend of "Now and Then" with acoustic guitars, Piano, rhythm section, Synths and the sometimes gratuitous use of distortion.
...Julian Sakata transforms his songs into a "near perfect marriage of Pop music and abstract indulgence with a flare for dramatics...."
His composition "Everything's Beautiful Once" (in various mixes) is featured predominantly in the feature film "Flourish" The film features the talents of Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer (T.V.'s "House"), Olivia Burnette (FX's Sons of Anarchy), and Leighton Meester (T.V.'s "Gossip Girl") . This is a rare "paired down" mix of the song for the film that best captures Julian's rawest "bedroom aesthetic" in this recorded performance.
His composition "Fly" which he co-wrote and produced (with Dave Palmer), can be heard on episode 5 of VH1's, CBS acquired series "Love Monkey"
Julian Sakata will be embarking on a new sonic adventure with prolific programmer and drummer Lorenzo (Lono) Ciacci (out of Portland) which promises to be a treat for audio-bored adventurists. We'll keep you posted on this exclusive release!!
Lono will also be joining Julian on his Live shows as drummer along with Timothy Young and very special guest artists! The band plans on hitting the States as well as Europe and Asia in 2009 to promote "See?" |
