Kenta Hayashi AKA loop pedal ninja is an innovative Japanese guitarist, vocalist, and master looper whose work explores transformative sound. This is his only Melbourne show prior to his national tour. Known for his signature 444 Hz and 432 Hz tunings, Kenta elevates the concept of a one-man band, creating a full orchestral experience live on stage. Using only his guitar, voice, effects, and an expertly wielded loop pedal, he builds immersive soundscapes that blend psychedelic, dub-infused textures with harmonic overtones and hypnotic rhythmic foundations.
