Saito Koji, born December 25, 1978, is a musician currently living in Fukushima city, Japan. He played in several bands, then went solo in 2003 after being influenced by Otomo Yoshihide's live performances, Derek Bailey's and Kaoru Abe's music. Saito is engaged in the pursuit of an original kind of minimalism-improvisation based on infinite looped music that could be compared to a spirituality of the traditionnal mantras encountered in the asiatic "religions" and the Native Americans societes.
