Akikaze - в переводе с Японского "Осенний ветер" электронный проект Pepijn Courant из Амстердама.
Akikaze, Japanese for autumn wind, is the electronic exploration of Dutchman Pepijn Courant. Pepijn Courant was born in Amsterdam on 30 January 1966. In 1977 he took piano lessons. He mainly studied classical music by composers such as Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, but also modern music such as by Béla Bartók. This seven year training was to have a big influence on his way of composing.
In 1978 Pepijn Courant started to play drums accompanying his elder brother Arnoul, who performed hits from the sixties and seventies by, among others, The Kinks en The Beatles as a guitarist and singer, both at home and in several schoolbands.
In the meantime he composed numerous pieces, from classical to pop, but soon realized the piano could not offer him the sounds he needed for his music. Since 1982 Pepijn had been fascinated by the possibilities of the synthesizer, but it took him three years to save up the money to buy one. Till that time he collected all electronic music he could find. The library of Groningen, where he studied, had a huge collection of Tangerine dream, Gandalf, Neuronium, Vangelis etc., though.
In 1989 Pepijn started his musical career. In 1993 he released his first cd in high places The light in our eyes is from his first cd. Until now he has released six cds.

Akikaze – The Age Of Deception (2008)
This seventh album is, like all Akikaze albums, a concept album. The music of "The age of deception" tells us how negative experiences like death of your loved ones, misfortune, deception and disappointment can make you stronger and better in the end, to say in short: everything that doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. The music was recorded between 1994 and 2005. As previous albums, "The age of deception" shows a great diversity, but this album as a whole brings back acoustic percussion and as many analog synthesizers as possible. This time Akikaze experiments with analog electronic percussion and arpeggiators. Early Neuronium fans or other romantics will again appreciate the acoustic guitar sound based pieces. A must-have for listeners of diverse melodic and rhythmic instrumental music.
