About the word "kohoBeat"
'Koho' has its origin in the Finnish word "kohotahti" and 'beat' comes from the English term "upbeat". Both refer to the same musical concept, the upbeat, which is the impulse that precedes the very first sounds of a musical piece and which sets the musical process in motion. That is precisely what kohoBeat pretends to do and to be.
