Akira Kosemura is a composer who lives in Tokyo, and he’s also known as the manager of his newly formed label “schole.” As a child, he learned piano and started composing regularly from 2005.

He began his career by making debut from an American label EP in 2006. By participating in many label compilations of Germany, Belgium, France, Canada, and Australia, his tunes were highly evaluated in each album.
At the same time, Akira established “schole” and started to make actions such as managing the label, issuing free magazine, producing artists, and providing music pieces to the media.

In 2007, Akira released his 1st full album from an Australian avant pop label which is managed by Lawrence English, the most important experimental artist in and a music critic.
In this album “It’s On Everything,” Akira definitely showed his new shape of daily music by putting the field recordings, electronics, and acoustical instruments together while he was composing his minimal tunes mainly with piano.

Recently, Akira Kosemura displayed his tune “TERMINAL” at Airport Symphony of Queensland Music Festival 2007 in Australia, cosponsored by Brisbane International Airport and an Australian label ROOM40.
