Biography

I'm a noise musician living in Hokkaido, Japan.

I met the analogue synthesizer of JMT SYNTH (Japanese handmade synthesizer maker) and was drawn into the appeal of noise music.

I had JMT SYNTH make custom-made synthesizer, and I am creating music with the instrument configuration centered around this.

I also became interested in analogue sounds by touching the analogue synthesizer.

Therefore, I thought about the instrument configuration to draw out to the maximum the analogue sounds.

As a result, the digital instrument such as DAW software is used as little as possible.

Only the multi track recorder is a digital device, but it does not perform any digital processing other than music file creation and volume normalization.

In addition, I record with one shot. This is to preserve the subtle changes in the sound of analog instruments.

A characteristic of my noise music is that I don't play.

I wanted to convey a pleasant sound as it was, so this style was adopted.

However, the sound has slightly changed due to the effects of analog instruments and spring reverb.

I believe that such natural changes will produce maximum comfort.

Also, This noise sound represents something in my spirit.

The instrument configuration and connections are as follows.
