"Complex Personality" for string quartet

I was trained in tradition, yet I stepped beyond its walls. Sound is my language, not to decorate but to liberate. Composer, performer, and listener — one fire, three sparks, inseparable.

I write and compose to uncover what is hidden: the truth buried beneath power, the dignity of the ordinary, the current of awareness that flows through all.

I belong to no authority, only to sound, to truth, to the silence from which all begins. My work is not mastery, but remembrance — a manifesto in every note, every word, every breath.

I am a composer of the 21st century: a studio artist. The studio is my forge, my battlefield, my sanctuary. Machines hum like choirs, circuits burn like torches, cables twist like roots in the earth. Tradition breaks open in this fire — the score turns to light, the instrument becomes the world itself.

To be a studio artist is to seize sound at its rawest, to sculpt electricity and breath as one, to summon the invisible power that belongs to all. Here music is not bound by walls, not enslaved by profit, not tamed by form. It is free, untouchable, unending — a living flame for the century that is ours.

高円寺でOriental Forceという小さなUndergroundなLive / Dj バー、Creative Spceを運営しています。自身はOriental Loveという名義で、電子音楽を中心に現代の民族音楽を志しています。

どこまでも自由に、どこまでも楽しく、どこまでも烈しく美しく、どこまでも優しい、そんな場所にあれたら、と思います。
共に何か新しい価値観の創造、小さいながらも確固たるムーブメントの共有をできれば、心より幸いに思います。

I run Creative Space, a small, underground live/DJ bar in Koenji called Oriental Force. Under the name Oriental Love, I aspire to create modern folk music, with a focus on electronic music.

I hope to create a space that is endlessly free, endlessly fun, endlessly intense and beautiful, and endlessly gentle.

I would be truly happy if we could work together to create new values ​​and share in a small but solid movement.
