Researched musician profile
About Ryoji Orihara
Orihara’s artist-run profile identifies a career performed entirely on fretless bass. It documents solo tours, teaching, the miD band, music direction for B’Ridge and Virtual Silence, and the BackGroundAmbient project “Transparent Furniture,” begun in 2010.[1]
The profile traces his recorded and touring work across jazz, Brazilian music, improvised performance, dance, and visual settings. Jazz Spot DOLPHY supplies an earlier Yokohama venue biography, while the artist’s schedule documents recurring Yokohama performances.[1][2]
Orihara’s own channel and Days of Delight preserve two direct approaches to solo fretless bass: a Jaco Pastorius medley and a complete free improvisation.[3][4]
Dedicated fretless practice
The artist biography states that Orihara has answered his full professional career with fretless bass.[1]
Transparent Furniture
His BackGroundAmbient project treats performance as intangible interior space rather than a conventional concert.[1]
Solo and interdisciplinary work
The profile connects solo-bass touring with dance, visual, and music-director projects.[1]
