Permeability of Free Space

Based in Wirral, UK, I am a multi-instrumentalist, composer and sound designer inspired by artists such as The The, Cocteau Twins, Marillion, Nigel Stanford, and M83. My work blends atmospheric textures with narrative depth, shaping immersive soundscapes that cross genres. Using a hybrid studio setup—including Native Instruments Maschine 2, Omnisphere 2.6, NI Massive, FL Studio 20, a Fender acoustic, Squier Telecaster, and a wide palette of effects—I fuse analogue warmth with digital precision. Each composition forms part of a living archive, where music, myth, and technical artistry meet.

Template Legato, also known as Hirotaka Kato, is a songwriter & composer based in Sendai, Japan.
