Live from Shirakawa-go (Tengudo Shrine) The Kyoto Connection 2025-09-20 | That day I carried my flute with me, hoping to capture not just sights, but sound — the whisper of wind, the rustle of trees, the peaceful rhythm of nature...
Even in Kyoto, I Long For Kyoto The Kyoto Connection 2025-09-03 | From the very first day I set foot in Kyoto, I knew I didn’t want to leave. During those 22 days, I tried to capture the essence of the place—the scent of its greenery, the golden tones of the sunset, the sound of the wind weaving through the trees.“Even in Kyoto, hearing the cuckoo, I long for Kyoto.”This haiku by Bashō perfectly expresses what it feels like to be there. Even in the midst of the experience, you find yourself longing for it—because you know that being there, like everything else, is fleeting.
Live From The Great Gate - Itsukushima Shrine, Miyajima The Kyoto Connection 2025-08-30 | On the sacred island of Miyajima, we had the privilege of performing music beneath the gaze of the legendary Ōtorii, the “Great Gate” that rises from the sea in front of Itsukushima Shrine. Recognized as one of Japan’s most iconic landmarks, this vermilion gate has welcomed travelers and dreamers for centuries, symbolizing the threshold between the human and the divine.That evening, with the tide surrounding the torii and the lights shimmering on the water, we played a dialogue between violin and synthesizer. It was a night of stillness and resonance — a bridge between tradition and modern sound.Earlier that day, we had wandered through the lively streets of the island, shared moments with the friendly deer that walk freely around Miyajima, and climbed the paths leading into its lush forests. But when the night fell, standing before the torii, we felt something different: the deep silence of history and the timeless heartbeat of this sacred place.This video is our humble offering to that unforgettable night — a memory of music, nature, and spirit, forever framed by the Great Torii of Miyajima.
WARABIGAMI 童神 (1987 Showa Mix) // The Kyoto Connection The Kyoto Connection 2025-08-30 | "Warabigami" is one of Okinawa’s most beloved traditional songs. It is a song filled with tenderness and spirituality, reflecting the very soul of Okinawa.In this version, we drew inspiration from the sounds and aesthetics of Japanese music in the 1980s, the Shōwa era. Warm synthesizers, dreamy atmospheres, and a nostalgic pulse blend with the traditional melody to create a unique tribute — a bridge between the ancestral and the modern.Just four months ago, we were in Okinawa, and we can still feel the spirit of that land on our skin: its sea, its people, and its music. This homage is born from that experience and from our wish to share a piece of Okinawa with the world.The title Warabigami (童神) carries a deep meaning. In Japanese, 童 (warabi / dō / kodomo) refers to “child,” and 神 (kami / gami) means “god” or “divine spirit.” While in standard Japanese the word would be read Dōshin, in the Okinawan language it becomes Warabigami. This difference in pronunciation is part of Okinawa’s unique cultural identity, and it reminds us that the song is not only about love and tenderness, but also about the sacred value of life itself.thekyotoconnection.com
The Music in You - Live from Mt. Fuji The Kyoto Connection 2025-06-13 | This video is proof that dreams can come true. If you listen to the music within you, a path will unfold. And when you have a path, you have somewhere to go.Thank you, Mount Fuji, for waiting for us at this stop. It took us twenty years… but here we are.April 16, 2025 "Fuji Revealed"They say Mount Fuji is shy. That it often hides behind clouds, fog or mist — and only shows itself to those who arrive with an open heart.Today, Fuji revealed itself to us. Fully. Radiantly. And something incredible happened.We played music with Mount Fuji in the background.A moment that, for us, borders on the mythical — because this image, this dream, has lived in our hearts for twenty years. It started in a small room in Argentina, where we first imagined the music that would one day carry us here. And today, it materialized before our eyes.Everything could have gone wrong: the weather, the light, the equipment, the logistics. But none of that happened.Instead, it was a perfect day.The sun shone. The sky opened. And there it was — Fuji, majestic and still, watching over us as we set up our instruments and did what we love most: making music.We recorded a video in silence, in awe, in reverence. Not trying to control the moment, just letting it happen. Letting the mountain be part of the music. Letting the dream become real.This might be the most epic moment in our story so far. And we know it will stay with us — in every note we play from now on.Follow our Japan Tour 25 at thekyotoconnection.com/japantour25
Hachiko - Piano Live at Tokashiki Port - Okinawa The Kyoto Connection 2025-06-09 | After spending an amazing day on Tokashiki Island (Okinawa), we returned to the port to catch the ferry back to Naha. There, we had an hour to wait... and a piano waiting for us. A perfect opportunity to play one of our classics.Follow our Japan adventures at thekyotoconnection.com/japantour25
Voyage III - Kyoto - Live from Kamo River (Kyoto) The Kyoto Connection 2025-05-30 | Voyage III – Kyoto is our signature song. An anthem dedicated to the city of Kyoto. It was first released on our debut album back in 2006. Since then, we’ve performed it at every one of our shows.When we finally arrived in Kyoto, we knew we had to play this piece in a place that truly captured the spirit of the city. One afternoon, while walking along the iconic Kamo River with our friend Masafumi Komatsu—who had guided us through a beautiful sound exploration of Kyoto—he led us to a spot where the river branches out and forms a small patch of land in the middle of the stream. Standing there, with the water flowing on both sides, we instantly felt it was the perfect place for our musical tribute.We had the place. We had the song. All we needed was a beautiful sunset… and Kyoto gifted us one.After twenty years of making music inspired by Japan, this moment felt like the perfect way to close a circle and celebrate the passion that has guided us all along.If you’d like to follow the rest of our journey through Japan, visit our travel log at thekyotoconnection.com/japantour25

Like its predecessors, this album pays homage to the pioneering ambient and environmental music movements of 1980s and 1990s Japan.The album unfolds as the imagined soundtrack to life in a quiet rural village, where nature and tradition shape the rhythm of everyday existence. Across 15 evocative compositions, The Kyoto Connection captures the essence of Japan’s ever-changing seasons, weaving together delicate melodies and immersive soundscapes. With contributions from friends and fans in Japan, Four Seasons in Kyoto is both a tribute and a transportive listening experience from producer Facundo Arena, the composer and producer behind The Kyoto Connection.With Four Seasons in Kyoto, Facundo Arena continues his deep exploration of Japanese ambient and environmental music, blending his long-standing admiration for Kyoto’s cultural heritage with a sound that feels both nostalgic and timeless. While Postcards was an instinctive homage and The Flower, The Bird and The Mountain drew from real Kyoto field recordings, this final chapter in the trilogy leans further into the imagined, an intimate portrait of an unseen yet deeply felt Japan.Organic soundscapes and drifting melodies mirror the slow change of seasons, evoking the impermanence central to Japanese aesthetics. The result is a record that seamlessly bridges the natural and the synthetic, memory and imagination, a fitting conclusion to a journey that began with an algorithmic discovery and blossomed into a rich sonic world of its own.2025 marks the 20th anniversary of The Kyoto Connection and also their first tour of Japan where they will be visiting Tokyo, Okinawa and of course Kyoto collaborating with local musicians and playing live.The album is pressed on heavyweight 180 Gram Vinyl with sleeve design by Bradley Pinkerton.

Yamaha CBX-K1XG - Custom Ambient / New Age / Experimental Patches for our Japan Tour! The Kyoto Connection 2025-03-18 | On April 6th, our 45-day tour of Japan begins, taking us through countless cities and breathtaking landscapes. I needed a lightweight, portable instrument with endless sounds and remarkable customization capabilities. Built-in speakers? That would be amazing. Battery-powered operation? A dream come true.Fortunately, that dream became a reality with the Yamaha CBX-K1XG, a compact 3-octave keyboard featuring a full Yamaha XG sound engine. Although it's an older piece of equipment (from the mid-'90s) and a bit delicate, its sound is simply incredible. With a little patience and dedication (and the help of XGEdit95, a program that only runs on older versions of Windows), I can program truly remarkable sounds. No external effects used in this demo. You're listening to all true XG power!I've assembled a complete library of ambient, new-age tones—some quirky, others deeply inspirational—to accompany me on this journey through Japan. I'll use them to improvise on the fly and blend seamlessly with the unique soundscapes of this amazing country.This video is my small tribute to this forgotten instrument, one that few know about but that holds infinite sonic potential for me.Enjoy the journey!thekyotoconnection.com
WE ARE GOING TO JAPAN 🥲 The Kyoto Connection 2025-02-22 | A quick message of gratitude. Thank you for making our dream true!2025 marks the 20th anniversary of The Kyoto Connection, and what better way to celebrate this incredible milestone than by embarking on a journey we’ve dreamed of since the beginning? After nearly two decades of creating music inspired by Japan without ever setting foot there, we’re thrilled to announce the Japan Tour ’25!This tour wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of over 400 supporters from around the world who have contributed to our project between 2008 and today. Your belief in our vision has been instrumental in turning this lifelong dream into a reality.
KYOTO SOUND LOGO The Kyoto Connection 2024-11-30 | WE'RE GOING TO KYOTO! Read more about our Japan Tour at thekyotoconnection.comOne of the things that fascinates me about Japan is the integration of sound design into its culture.From cash registers to cities, everything has a sound logo that identifies and brings it to life.A few days ago, I was listening to Kamakura's sound logo composed by Hiroshi Yoshimura (from the album Four Post Cards, 2004), and upon investigation, I discovered that Kyoto doesn't have a sound logo!So, I decided to create one. Here's a little prototype. It needs work, but it's something. It would be great to hear it someday at the station, on the tower, or in some public space in that city 😀❤️
Omnichord OM-108 is an AMAZING Japanese Ambient / Minimal / Cinematic instrument The Kyoto Connection 2024-10-26 | The new Omnichord OM-108 is being an endless source of inspiration for my music.In this video I won't be using the most popular sounds and rhythms you see in other Youtube demos, but some sounds and chord combinations that are perfect for making Japanese ambient/experimental music.The sound is 100% the original of the instrument recorded through the line input, with no added effects.

A Journey Of A Thousand Miles (Visual Poem) // The Kyoto Connection The Kyoto Connection 2024-02-12 | A visual poem about life.In the stillness of dawn, life begins its trek—A journey on paths, both clear and obscure.Each step, a verse; each breath, a silent haiku,Whispering tales of ephemeral beauty and enduring strife.Beneath the cherry blossoms' fleeting bloom,We walk, our shadows mingling with the dust of stars.The moon—our silent witness, in its waning and waxing,Marks time, not in hours, but in moments of clarity and confusion.The stream's gentle flow, a metaphor for being,Meanders through landscapes of joy and sorrow.Its waters, clear and murky, mirror the soul's journey—A quest for meaning amidst the ever-changing tides of life.Mountains loom, their peaks shrouded in mist,Challenging our resolve, our desire to ascend.Yet, in their daunting silence, we find our strength,For each summit reached unveils horizons new and vast.With each season's turn, the path transforms—Sakura petals give way to autumn's fiery display.Life, in its essence, a series of fleeting moments,A dance of light and shadow, of holding on and letting go.And as the dusk descends, our journey wanes,The path now lit by the soft glow of fireflies.In the quiet of twilight, life's impermanence whispers,A serene acceptance of all that was, is, and will be.Thus, we wander, souls adrift in the vastness of existence,Learning, with each step, the art of seeing the unseen.For in the simplicity of nature's cycle, the complexity of life unfolds—A beautiful paradox, penned in the silent poetry of being.About The Kyoto ConnectionThe Kyoto Connection, a musical trio from Argentina comprising Facundo Arena, Jesica Rubino, and Rodrigo Trado, has been crafting music inspired by Japan since 2005, despite not having had the opportunity to visit the country.

A Journey Of A Thousand Miles (Full Album) - Japanese Ambient / New Age / Computer Music The Kyoto Connection 2023-08-09 | JAPANESE AMBIENT/NEW AGE MEETS VIDEO-GAME/COMPUTER MUSIC: THE KYOTO CONNECTION RELEASES "A JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES"Drawing inspiration from the profound oriental proverb, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step," the album embarks on a captivating musical expedition, inviting listeners to traverse the rich sonic landscapes of Japan. Crafted with artistic precision, the album features a unique composition process that combines field recordings generously contributed by collaborators from all over Japan – capturing the essence of nature, cityscapes, temples and more – with the nostalgic sounds of 80s and 90s video-game console sound chips. The result is a harmonious fusion that brilliantly captures the spirit of Japan's cultural heritage.The Kyoto Connection also incorporated vintage instruments and audio equipment, such as the iconic Roland D-50 synthesizer, the Ensoniq TS-10 workstation, the Roland V-Synth and the Tascam Porta One cassette recorder. These vintage elements add depth and authenticity to the album's sonic landscape.The album's cover art is a digital reinterpretation of Utagawa Hiroshige's classic masterpiece "The junction of the Pilgrims' Road at Seki in the Gifu prefecture" from the series "The Fifty-three Famous Places of Tokaido" (1855), created by the talented Vietnamese artist 胡日州 Hồ Nhựt Châu CC0, employing a captivating aesthetic of digital vector design.As the third and final installment in a trilogy dedicated to the realm of Japanese ambient music, "A Journey Of A Thousand Miles" follows the group's previous releases, "Postcards" (2018) and "The Flower, The Bird and The Mountain" (2022). "A Journey Of A Thousand Miles" is also heavily influenced by the ambient and new age music of Japan from the 80s and 90s, paying homage to the rich history and innovative artists of the era.🔊 Many thanks to our soundscape contributors: Florencia Ortelli, Joel Noguera, Joseph Fowler, Casey Bean, Masafumi Komatsu for sending us sounds from Japan.About The Kyoto ConnectionThe Kyoto Connection, a musical trio from Argentina comprising Facundo Arena, Jesica Rubino, and Rodrigo Trado, has been crafting music inspired by Japan since 2005, despite not having had the opportunity to visit the country.

During Argentina’s covid lockdown, Facundo received a set of soundscapes recorded in Kyoto by the Japanese musician and sound designer Masafumi Komatsu. Over several insular months, he decorated them with synthesisers, samples and subtle rhythms, creating The Kyoto Connection’s next album, The Flower, The Bird and the Mountain to be released via Isle Of Jura offshoot Temples Of Jura.Ostensibly made up of twelve distinct tracks, listening to The Flower, The Bird and the Mountain feels more akin to spending calm, meditative time in twelve specific environments. Although the foundations they rest on are recordings made in geographic locations around Kyoto, Facundo has yet to visit Japan. As a result, the landscapes he paints sit somewhere between fiction and fact, richly pictorial sonic imagination juxtaposed with echoes of reality. Regardless, as his bubbling melodies and glistening synthesisers glide against Masafumi Komatsu's recordings, Facundo guides us into a blissful zone of tranquillity well worth spending time within.Pressed on heavyweight 180 Gram Vinyl with sleeve design by Bradley Pinkerton. ⛩ Visit us! http://www.thekyotoconnection.com
