In 1988, the Japanese composer Yoh Ohyama created the group "Asturias". While using the sound programming technique and multitrack recording, he mixes acoustic instruments and electronic instruments to increase the expressiveness of his music. Thus, he won a success not only in the field of Progressive Rock but also in the New Age, which earned him the nickname "Mike Oldfield Japanese". Three albums were then produced by the King Reccord Cryme label: "Circle in the Forest", "Brilliant Streams" and "Cryptogam Illusion".
In 2003, resuming his activities, he founded the group "Acoustic Asturias" (guitar, piano, violin, clarinet and recorder) The following year a concert followed by the release of the mini-album "Bird Eyes View" raised again a lot of interest from its fans around the world.
