<br />
I wanted to make a kind of an introduction track that sounds like a beginning something for starting "Kozmic Tribes" from now. It would be put the first track of a CD or a live show. That's why I didn't spread out the form of this track much. Just looped same phrases uneventfully and kept the atmospheres going on like a ritual.<br />
<br />
This track was made on mainly the NanoStudio.<br />
<br />
I was listening and playing each preset sounds on the Eden. And then those ambient atmosphere sounds were came along.<br />
<br />
I wanted to use lots of the samples for drums. So I re-edited the drum part on the BeatMaker 2 because it's able to load the samples up to 128. And then exported them back to Nano as some drum phrases.<br />
<br />
The Eden is pretty good synth but the TRG is not much useful for me if I use lots of the samples for a part.<br />
I like much the drum machine of the BeatMaker 2. I creatively used each advantages of them.<br />
<br />

<br />
Let see... Mine might be Japanese pops that came out of TV, I think. I liked the theme songs of the amimes or the movies when I was kid. I'd been bought some CDs.<br />
<br />
Or when I was in elementary school, I dabbled playing guitar with a broom and sang a song with friends on show and tell at class, I <span style="background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%;">think</span>. yeah, it was a good old memory.<br />
<br />
I HATEd the so-called music class in school. As matter of fact, I'm kind of a terrible singer. I was like "Treble clef? Bass clef?? What the...", you know? Those weren't making any sense. Even now it's still all Greek to me, though.<br />
<br />
<strong><em>-What about your family music situation?</em></strong><br />
<br />
My parents love music, I think. They don't play any musical instruments or anything like that, though.<br />
<br />
My Dad really loves Jazz, like Miles Davis and Rock, like Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton. He's got a massive collection of the records and the CDs. And also is fiend of audio systems. Good music always came out of his room. To me when I say my Dad, I mean Miles Davis or and I say Miles Davis, I mean my Dad. He loves him that much.<br />
When I was little, they often <span style="background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%;">say</span>, I used to creep in his room and play climbing on his record player. He must have felt easiness, I guess. Haha.<br />
My Mom also likes music like Hard Rock, Japanese pops and Japanese old rock.<br />
Music always had been played in the car when we went out somewhere.<br />
<br />
<strong><em>-Well, did you feel like that sounds good or comfortable when you listened to Jazz or Rock that came out of his room?</em></strong><br />
<br />
Nah, felt nothing special. I would've rather Japanese pop that my Mom listened to. Because it's easy to feel comfortable for kids then Jazz or Rock, right? I might've thought it was noisy when I was watching TV. Hahaha.<br />
<br />
But I remember clearly that I was taken to a small Jazz festival with my dad when I was 5 or 6 years old. I had no idea about Jazz at all but I felt that was a place with good vibes out there. Oh, yeah! That could be my oldest memory with music, I think.<br />
So music has been kind of close to me since I was little.<br />
<br />
<strong><em>-What is first CD that you bought yourself?</em></strong><br />
<br />
Let see...I can't recall it. I've been buying a fucking lot of CD until present, you know? Can't remember such a first CD I bought. Taking a look back old memories like this and then being unable to recall what my first buying CD is sort of sad, isn't is?<br />
<br />
<strong><em>-Well, what is opening you up into music?</em></strong><br />
<br />
The result of going with the flow of the around movement.<br />
Some guys who are interested in Rock and Band are coming up around getting into a junior high school, right? And raising a clamor, like, Let's make a band and play at school festival!, around me, you know?<br />
And then, some guys are like, "I'll get a guitar for Christmas' gift." something like that.<br />
To follow an example, of course, I also asked my Dad and Mom, "I wanna get a guitar for Christmas's gift too! Please!!"<br />
<br />
<strong><em>-Did you make the deal without much resistance?</em></strong><br />
<br />
Might be not but I was holding out over and over again. Then I got it.<br />
<br />
<strong><em>-Why is it the guitar for you?</em></strong><br />
<br />
No reason. Just because...Nah, not NO reason.<br />
As matter of fact, the thing what I want <span style="background: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%;">the</span> most at that time was DJ set, Turntables.<br />
At that time people was talking about rock band. It was kind of in the middle of a fad. Hip Hop, Dance music or Club music were absolutely underground ones, I think, in no small part by my local.<br />
<br />
But you know what, it cost more than $1,000, right? So I couldn't ask my parents that I want it. I was afraid of getting shot down and breaking my dream completely down. That's why. Or I might've had a talk to my dad but no dice. Haha.<br />
<br />
<strong><em>-Why did you get interested in DJ despite DJ culture was still underground?</em></strong><br />
<br />
Well...I don't know.<br />
<br />
I've been and stayed with a family in the U.S. for a month when I was 13. Using summer holiday. And then touched those kinds of music out there with or without consciousness. I think I was influenced a great deal by that experience even not only about music.<br />
<br />
After coming back to Japan I was big on America and interested in Western music.<br />
And I've bought some CDs, like, Sexy bikini chicks is drawn on CD cover and something like that. I was flying blind, though.<br />
Just maybe, at that time, I was just interested in the picture of bikini chicks more than that music. Haha.<br />
<br />
And I got a magazine that featured of DJ and Club music then I had always regarded with having a delusion. It was like, "I'll get the tools like these, play like that and be like that", you know?<br />
<br />
<strong><em>-I see. But in the result, end up to the guitar?</em></strong><br />
<br />
Yeah. But might be giving up and settlement partly. Like, I wanna do something about music! I don't wanna leave away from movement! No one starts running into music, is there? It's so rude to music.<br />
<br />
<strong><em>-Haha. Yes, you were. What is your first guitar then?</em></strong><br />
<br />
The Fender Stratocaster. The Fender Mexico, though.<br />
Because USA one and Japan one are so expensive for Christmas's gift. Even no one knew if I kept playing it without giving up.<br />
<br />
This is also with a story behind it. I had no idea about guitar and didn't have any guitar hero yet at that time. I had been searching by catalogs and feeling some guitar looked cool, but There's no exactly one for me which is because of that guitarist I like uses it, you know?<br />
<br />
And then, I went to the guitar shop with my dad. I picked up some I like but negotiation was failure.<br />
Finally, I was given Fender one, seemed like I got roped into his own favorite, maybe because Eric Clapton uses it. I was so glad and liked it, though.<br />
<br />
Well, up to here. It's like I'm always going with the flow of the around movement and no identity, ain't I? That's odd!<br />
<br />
