Sayama is a Japanese term which literally means "sitting on a mountain", and this perfectly expresses the intent of Sayama’s music – to instill the serenity and peace in the listener.

As a child, Sayama had his musical beginnings with the guitar and piano, but as his cultural horizons broadened, he grew well versed in acoustic instruments from all over the world, especially those from the Asian cultures. In his music you may find Tibetan and Japanese Temple Bowls, Shakuhachi & Koto, Dizi & Bansuri Flutes, Gu-Cheng, Overtone Singing, Gongs and various Asian percussion instruments. After having worked with physically and mentally handicapped children and adults as music therapist for some years, Sayama began building up his own studio in the early 1990’s. His intention was to produce life-positive and energetic music, which gives the listener aesthetic and sensual moments of relaxation, as well accompanying therapeutic work and meditation by creating a supportive ambience.

Sayama has also studied and practiced holistic forms of meditation and energy work (T’ai Chi, Qi Gong, Sound Therapy, Aromatherapy) for over 15 years and he regularly gives seminars on these themes.

He currently lives and records his music in the Bavarian Alps near Munich, Germany.
