Soundcrash present Anchorsong . Originally from Tokyo Anchorsong is a producer and solo act creating beautiful electronic music with a live string quartet.
Masaaki Yoshida, aka Anchorsong, plays a very special live set as he starts a round the world tour supporting his debut album Chapters out Nov 28th on Tru Thoughts records.
Anchorsong has become globally recognised for his unique live shows, which many people have described as “like watching a painter drawing on a white canvas”, as he creates electronic music completely live using a sampler (MPC2500) and a keyboard, right in front of the audience. While he mainly performs solo, he frequently augments this setup with a string quartet, for a truly spellbinding show.
Having always been swept away by the atmosphere and excitement of live performance, Anchorsong brings that vibrant energy, warmth and sense of occasion to the world of electronic music with his compelling live act.
“Truly special… sounds like Battles hanging out with Herbie Hancock”

The pleasure principle is strong enough to take it well beyond the merely ‘nice’ 4/5
- The Arts Desk
Wonderfully melodic and soulful… this is the album of electronic music with natural warmth.
