Yosuke Kamihigashi, a.k.a, acht.
Born in Tokyo Japan, 8th August 1983.
His interests towards Art was awakened and stimulated by being close to his grandmother who was an Ikebana instructor.
He starts to study in art school to explore the ‘essense of expression’ and there he encounters ‘Minimal Art’.
Touhaku Hasegawa, Frank Stella, Mark Rothko and Christian Boltanski, are some of the artists that influenced him greatly.
He also respects a techno music DJ, Richie Hawtin. By listening to the tunes that played in the club, he was given a hint of ‘self expression’ within his music.
In 2004, he starts his carrier as a DJ as well as being a painter.
After his graduation in 2007, he starts to compose.
Today, he puts all his energy to shape his view, principle and thoughts as art works and sounds.

Minimal Root is One of the Spanish producer attracting attention at the moment, this EP is nothing if not ambitious, featuring four long, evolving tracks that forego gimmicks in favor of a deeper kind of engagement. What upon first listen sounds minimal, thanks to a familiar palette of treated percussion, slight harmonic squiggles, and not much else, reveals itself to be far denser, deeper, and more nuanced. Unusually hypnotic, M:R’s tracks blindfold the listener, spinning you round like a dervish, until dizziness dissolves into pure weightlessness.
