In his work, Makoto approaches music as a living entity, often incorporating live instrumentation alongside digital production techniques. This synthesis creates a dynamic interplay where programmed beats seamlessly interact with spontaneous musical expressions, encouraging an energetic dialogue between the electronic pulse and organic textures.

This results in an atmosphere that's both intimate and expansive, inviting listeners to interpret the music through their own lens.
