ABOUT THE ALBUM "Colors of Japan" is the first album released by Nick Beman, aka Nicklas Björkman. The project originated when one of his musical friends on the internet came back from a trip to Japan and showed him the wonderful places he'd seen. Inspired by the pictures Nick wanted to give them life, and also explain the emotions that emerged for him as his affection for for japanese culture and nature grew. Emotional pads, atmospheric musical landscapes, written with both western and eastern influences. "Colors of Japan" starts off as a more chillout oriented album but transcends into ambient / soundtrack after a few tracks. Close your eyes for a moment, and let the music take you on a journey to a special place of Nicklas heart.
