Paniyolo is the moniker for the music project led by Tokyo-based guitarist Muneki Takasaka. Paniyolo's music is characterized by its delicate, emotional guitar work and ambient soundscapes, conveying a sense of tranquility and introspection through its thoughtful compositions. Takasaka's work as Paniyolo blends elements of folk, ambient, and minimalist music, creating an intimate and meditative sonic experience that often features simple yet evocative melodies and a gentle touch on the acoustic guitar.

Since the inception of Paniyolo, Takasaka has been prolific in his output, contributing to an array of solo recordings and collaborations. His most recent releases, including "Cellar," "Here," and "Forgotten Vale," continue to showcase his talent for crafting serene and heartfelt music that resonates with listeners seeking solace and a momentary escape from the rush of daily life. With albums like "elan vital," "copse," and "Riso," Paniyolo cements its place in the current ambient and modern classical music scene, gaining recognition for compositions that are both personal and expansive, like whispered stories shared across the strings of a guitar.
