Kodomo, the moniker of Emmy Award-winning composer Chris Child, is an American electronic musician renowned for his intricate blend of ambient, IDM, and downtempo styles. Raised in Japan, Child's early exposure to classical piano and pioneering synth bands like Yellow Magic Orchestra and Kraftwerk profoundly influenced his musical direction. Since his 2008 debut album, *Still Life*, Kodomo has released several acclaimed works, including *Frozen in Motion* (2011), *Patterns & Light* (2014), and *Three Spheres* (2021). His compositions have been featured in Harmonix video games such as *Amplitude* and *Frequency*, as well as on NPR programs like *Morning Edition* and *This American Life*.
