The tracks featured on Kentoverse were initially recorded at Kento Masuda's studio in Tokyo, Japan and subsequently mixed and mastered by co-producer Gary Vandy in Miami, United States.[2]
Kentoverse is a musical project where Masuda drew inspiration from the pandemic experience. It transcends traditional genre classifications by seamlessly blending elements of classical, ambient, and contemporary music.[2] One of the notable aspects of the Kentoverse album is the inclusion of commissioned compositions inspired by various themes. This includes a composition commissioned on the masonic theme of the Great Architect of the Universe, as well as a royal march created for the House of Rurikovich.[3]
In addition to other collaborations and musical performances,[4][5] Kento Masuda has entered into a collaborative partnership with the European Foundation for the Support of Culture in Europe. As part of this collaboration, he will be performing a series of live shows featuring compositions from this latest album, Kentoverse.[6][7][8]
