I've changed the direction of this account recently, and in fact the way I make music.  I no longer use a computer for any of my music production.  Instead I have set myself a challenge to spend a year making music entirely with no computer (except for uploading to soundcloud).  All of my tracks that are of the format YEAR-MONTH-DAY are created entirely using a modular synthesizer, a vermona drm1 drum synth, a couple of pieces of elektron kit and a series of old battered drum machines, synths and hacked up pieces of musical oddity.  All of these tracks will be single pass, then the modular patch and setup will be torn down.  If the recording fails or has errors, so be it.  These tracks represent a snap shot of one person having fun with the gear he has around him.  I hope you enjoy it.

press:

"abstract, triphop-like sense"
- Calamel, Japan

"strong, mind-altering and mood-setting vocals"
- DMR, Japan

"orchestral overtures expertly craft a sense of 'beautiful tension'...one to watch!"
- Nuff Stylee, UK

"a duo who go way beyond the usual modes of the downtempo scene. Dem Suite have a lot more to offer than just a few simple tricks in the studio."
- Dusty Groove America

"Soulful modern R&B with chopped drum and vocal breaks. Perhaps they're redefining California soul, or at least waking it up."
- Dusted Magazine

“Winter is the perfect time for moody downtempo, and this is right up my alley right now with some off-kilter drums and powerful, surging bass. A nice find. Definitely recommended.”
- Turntable Lab

Founded as a record company in 1998, SONORE also became an artistic agency in 2008 at the same time as celebrating its 10th anniversary. Booking, providing management, music sales and publishing, SONORE has discovered so much talent in Japan that it has had to develop and broaden its activities to keep pace. With 28 disks out to date (current releases: Akane Hosaka and applehead), an authoritative work on Japanese music (Japanese Independent Music, 2001), contributions to films and documentaries (Body Modification Freaks, 2008) and numerous European bookings (Maywa Denki at the Les Bains Numériques festival at Enghien-les-bains on 6 June 2008 or Doravideo at the Universal Exhibition in Zaragossa, 16-17 August 2008), the Nîmes Biennial, the Japanese Experience (LEX), organised together with the Theatre of Nîmes must be one of SONORE’s major achievements so far. LEX 2009 will present all the thrill of contemporary Japanese creativity, bringing 19 music, dance and performance projects to Nîmes from 24 to 28 March 2009 (YMCK, Baby-Q, ASA-CHANG & Junray). In between times, SONORE will be celebrating its 10th anniversary on Friday 10 October 2008 at Super Deluxe in Tokyo (“a LEX 2009 sneak preview”) and on Sunday 23 November at Club Noon in Osaka (“Mozarella Panic Tour”) as part of the Osaka Festival of European Film.
