This concept album is my "Final Major Project" for UH University. 
It is a "Dolby Digital Professional 5.1" surround type of work. 

The concept is based on the story of Tsutomu Miyazaki, best know as “The Otaku Murderer”. He was a very smart Japanese student who suffered with a malformation to the hands. This misfortune shaped his character and his social life, slowly turning him into a paedophile first (taking pictures and videos of his victims) and then into a true serial killer of four female children. After abusing their bodies, he would engage in acts such as drinking their blood and eating their hands (because of his disease he was obsessed with hands). 

Following these murders, the word “Otaku” has assumed a significant meaning, and this is why nowadays it is considered a strong taboo in Japan. 

The album is a representation of the inner journey in the psychology and interiority of the person and the mind that stands behind these murders. It explores the different emotional states, sensations and sudden and strong switches of mood, all narrated through the music. The album consists of brief and diverse chunks, where each one represents a specific mental state or episode of this tragedy. 
Despite the disturbing and macabre tones of this event, I intended to narrate it in a delicate way. Firstly, because the story is told in first person, by the protagonist (the murderer) and secondly, because whilst doing what he did, he was deeply convinced that he was doing something right (“Tell the world I am a gentle man” is what he last said before being executed.) 


Genre and narrative style: I did attempt to amalgamate various elements in order to create a unique and original language to tell a story with; to narrate and describe what (I would like to think) was in the mind of the murderer.

I used 4 synths, the rytm, Digitone, deepmind12d, and the SH01A.
The Digitone was doing pad and some light percussion, that was routed though the Quadraverb.

The SH01a (acid line) was put through the FMR RNLA and then routed into the back of the rytm.
Rytm( 606 and tabla samples)
The deepmind 12D did the BoC like lead/bass.
I used brownian motion pattern in the Cirklon to get that crazy Drukqs feel for the drums.

Everything was being sequenced by the Cirklon into a SSL six. That was tracked to tape on a Pioneer RT-707. No Daw was used.
