"Pre-Choreographed" is the new album from Japanese pianist Koki Nakano through Nø Førmat! and the follow-up to his much-admired 2016 debut "Lift", also released on Nø Førmat! and created in collaboration with cellist Vincent Segal.

Trained at both Japan's prestigious Toho Gakuen music school and the Tokyo University of the Arts (alongside a sideline in electro-rock, via band Gas Law), Koki Nakano has long been exploring the deep relationship that his music maintains with dance. "When I compose, I keep images of bodies in a state of movement up in my head. They're a great help to me when it comes to structuring each of my pieces, which develop as if they were responding to those movements." 

He now takes a giant leap forward with this new album. Its title "Pre-Choreographed" speaks to a re-alignment of music &amp; dance and offers pieces that move between melodies with clear lines to fine cross-hatching, latticed textures and intoxicating harmonics.

Putting to use all the resources the piano has, in "Pre-Choreographed" Nakano has created an elegant album that knows how to say a lot with just the right economy of means.
