Japanese musician and producer Keigo Oyamada, known by his moniker Cornelius, brought his unique blend of indie rock, pop, funk, and glitched electronics to a recent Tiny Desk concert as part of a rare U.S. tour. Accompanied by his talented band from Japan, including long-time collaborator Hiroshisa Horie, drummer Yuko Araki, and synthesist Yumiko Matsumura, Cornelius delivered a performance that showcased his ability to deconstruct and reassemble music into a neon cubist-pop sculpture. With over two decades in the industry, Cornelius has established himself as a leading figure in the music scene, co-founding Flipper's Guitar and releasing acclaimed solo albums like Fantasma. Notable for his complex and cool style, critics have compared him to the likes of Brian Wilson and Beck. Anecdotes from the concert include Cornelius sporting his trademark sunglasses and the band's collective ability to push music's boundaries while creating infectious and curious melodies.
