By fusing together sounds of nature and a variety of international folk instruments, Hiroki Okano renders a feeling of awe and appreciation of nature based on his own Japanese sensibility.

Since Hiroki’s solo music career launched in 1987, he has become known as one of Japan’s premier New Age and Ambient artists involved in various environment and peace related events all over the world including the International Dolphin & Whale Conference, the International Underwater Film Festival Yokohama and the World Peace & Prayer Day which was held at Mount Fuji with aboriginal elders from around the world.

He has also performed at other large-scale international events such as Rainbow 2000, The Fuji Rock Festival, and The Glastonbury Festival UK through a collaboration with the late Dave Goodman, a former producer for the Sex Pistols, where he has now performed for more than ten years.

Currently, Hiroki is active as a composer and passionately performs his compositions at sacred spots and natural heritage sites around the world.
