Masaki Batoh is a Japanese psychedelic underground musician and acupuncturist. Born in 1966, he has been actively involved in the music industry since the early 1980s. In 1984, Batoh formed the influential band Ghost, which has gained recognition for their unique sound and experimental approach to music.

With his extensive musical background and diverse influences, Batoh has carved out a niche for himself within the underground music scene. His work often incorporates elements of folk, rock, and electronic music, resulting in a captivating blend of sounds that defy categorization.

Batoh's creativity extends beyond his musical endeavors - he is also an accomplished acupuncturist. This holistic practice complements his artistic pursuits by providing him with a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection.

Batoh is back! Solo again after last fall’s new Silence album, the Japanese psychedelic guru makes some one-man performances,, with others featuring Ghost and Silence family members, including free drumming legend of Fushitsusha and early Ghost, Hiroyuki Usui. In the richness of an all-analog production, Batoh decries the existential opacity of our latter-day faith, drawing deeply from the musical, linguistic and spiritual traditions of ALL countries, fused into a new music for the believers and non-believers alike in our new century.
