Cornelius is the brainchild of Japanese multi-instrumentalist Keigo Oyamada. Performing musician since his teens, Oyamada created his creative alter-ego (the name is an homage to the Planet of the Apes) in the early 1990's from the ashes of his previous project, Flipper's Guitar.
With 2002's Point, Cornelius' music took a quantum shift, going from sampling "found sounds" to looping organic elements, creating lush soundscapes. Using water drops as the rhythmic backbone of "Drop" to his vocoder-infused cover of "Brazil", the album dazed and amazed fans and set the path for the next phase of his career.
