Kodomo, the moniker for electronic music composer and producer Chris Child, is known for his intricate and emotive amalgamations of IDM, ambient, and classical music influences. With a nomadic background, having spent his formative years in Japan, France, and Southeast Asia, Child's cultural experiences heavily influence the textural and melodic layers that characterize his music. Kodomo's name, which means "child" in Japanese, nods to his personal history and a nostalgic connection to his childhood, which remains a pervasive theme in his work.

Kodomo's discography showcases a deep understanding of sound design and a penchant for melding organic and electronic elements. His recent releases, such as "Unrosive" and the "SEER EP," continue to push the boundaries of electronic music, offering listeners an immersive audio experience that is both thought-provoking and aesthetically rich. Other notable works include "Tape Pieces, Vol. 2" and "Tape Pieces, Vol. 3," where Child experiments with tape manipulation and sound textures to create captivating soundscapes. With "A World Rarely Seen," inspired by 'The Outlaw Ocean' by Ian Urbina, Kodomo expands his storytelling prowess to translate literary influence into auditory exploration, marking him as an artist dedicated to evolving his sound with each release and collaboration.
