-a.k.a. 444Hz Loop Pedal Ninja-

444Hz tuning. Japanese singer-songwriter and loop pedal ninja KENTA HAYASHI takes the term "one-man band" to the next level, creating an orchestra of sound by layering vocals, guitar, effects and percussion.

The result is a fusion of psychedelic dubbed-out journeys surrounded by soundscapes and an overtone of harmonies on a rhythmic foundation - all created live by Kenta through the use of his loop pedal.

Kenta focuses on the vibration of music. The vibrations he creates resonate with the natural frequency of the water in our bodies, 444Hz, like a healing meditational process.

Kenta's live show is full of epic tension and release. Big layered build ups and sparse breakdowns with trance-like grooves.

Kenta took his World Tour to 25 countries in 2017 for over 200 shows a year, including Europe, U.K, Australia, Asia, America, Canada, Mexico, and Guatemala.

Kenta also produces electronic music. As he travels the world, he records various sounds (different languages, nature sounds, noises, etc.), samples, combining the powerful energy of his live performance with the endless sonic possibilities of electronic production.
