1. Where were you born and where are you from ?

I was born and live in Japan.

2. What is your first memory connected to the art world ?

It goes back to my childhood, I think. My father was a graphic designer, so I grew up in a house where there were font collections, photo material, and design books.

3. What led you to the design creation ?

I don’t know. But I’ve always loved birds. Since I was a child. They have a wonderful musicality and sound. I think I was very influenced by them. I wanted to be just like them.

4. How would you describe your creative process and it influences ?

It’s a very difficult question, because I don’t really know my creative process. Of course, I know when I started, but I think my work is automatic. I believe that the repetition of creating a piece, the repetition of playing an instrument shape me and thus resurfaces previously felt impressions, emotions, and sensations that have settled in my mind and that I have already forgotten, and automatically build-up on these.

5. Could you describe a typical day of your work ?

First, I usually drink coffee when I woke up in the morning, then push the start button of the PC and the Synthesizer. After that, I go on the trip – Hahaha !

6. If your works had to belong to a movement, in which one would you define it ?

I think I am not interested in defining a movement nor a category for my work. If people listen to my work, they can decide !

7. What composing means to you?

I think it’s just like “day-dreaming.”

8. If you had to describe music freely, what words would you choose?

Architecture and sculpture melt in the air.

9. If you had to summarize your creations in one word or sentence, what would it be ?

“Dream diary”

10. What qualities should a musician have?

Well, I think anyone can do it. If I had to choose I would say “To be interested, or not to be interested”.

11. Can you talk about your relationship to the image and/or the relationship of your music to the image.

It’s a very important question for me. Images are of outmost importance in my work. They can influence all of my work and how do it. When everything goes smoothly, leave it as it is. All you have to do is just adjust the sound at the end. But other ones force the image into shape. At first, I gradually tame the image, very much like a stray dog ​​that can’t be ordered as I say. At one point, it becomes “friend” with the image, and it changes into something that was never imagined. And I say thanks when it is done.

12. What contemporary artists (in any kind of art) have you been inspired by ?

One of those Doug Aitken (Contemporary video installation artist). I really love and always get inspired by him.

13. What advices could you give to beginning artists who would like to create sound, music?

For Creators, your fear can only be eliminated by creation.

14. Is there anything you would like to add ?

I love the world. Thank you.
