Madonna "Angel" remix

I like the Roland TR-909. I turned on the power after so long. When I was a student. About 30 years ago. I liked soul and AcidJazz UK. I remembered those days and composed the song.
When I was in high school 1989, I made a sound truck for my friend's dance unit. They were amateurs when it came to music, but they taught me how to do phrase sampling and use sampling machines in club music.
I found a new way to use the sampler I bought for study composing. I recorded from a vinyl record on a cheep sampling synthesizer made in Japan.
Without this experience, I don't think I would have encountered the music games idea I made.

USE SAMPLING DATA:
VOCAL : PRODUCER LOOPS / THE MORNING AFTER
RAP : MONSTER SOUNDS / NEW YORK RAP ACAPELLAS
HIT : SOUL ll SOUL / Club Classics: Vol. 1 'BACK TO LIFE'

Talking Ground

This track was originally written for one of the so-called “Japanese divas” popular at the time, but it was never used.
In the 1990s, whether it was Acid Jazz or alternative rock, the mainstream sound was gritty, hazy, and atmospheric—quite the opposite of today.

Watching veteran arrangers at work in the studio, I learned that even on keyboards, playing in a clavinet style could instantly make the groove funkier.
I remember throwing myself into the keys with all my energy.

The melody itself leaned heavily toward traditional Japanese pop, but recently I replaced the vocals and other parts with AI, giving it a fresh new character.
Because the original data was preserved on hard disk, I was able to recover the multitrack parts and faithfully reproduce the arrangement as it was.

Listening back to those old sounds, I can clearly hear what I myself was listening to at the time.

当時流行していた「JAPANESEディーバ」と呼ばれる女性シンガーのために書いたが、採用されずにボツになった曲。
1990年代は、アシッドジャズにしてもオルタナロックにしても、ざらついた音やもわっとした空気感のあるサウンドが主流で、今とは逆だった。

僕はスタジオでベテランの編曲を見ながら、キーボードでClavinet奏法を試すと、それだけでグルーヴィーでファンキーになることを学んだ。
夢中で鍵盤を弾いていた記憶がある。

メロディは典型的な歌謡曲のようだったが、いまはAIを用いて声や他のパートを差し替え、当時とは違う響きで蘇らせている。
この頃のデータはハードディスクに残してあったため、楽器ごとのマルチデータを再現でき、当時のアレンジを忠実に蘇らせることができた。

昔の音を聴くと、その時代の自分が何を聴いていたかが鮮明に思い出される。

なごり雪 ~ nagori yuki

I am compiling the songs I have created as an artist since my younger days.
My main focus is on composing and arranging. 
I began my career as a game sound creator in the early days of the internet, credited under the name djnagureo.
I was also involved in planning games and apps, and even managed to successfully run a facility for children.
Those experiences earned me recognition from many people, and I am deeply grateful for them.

Now, as an artist, I want to create the music I truly desire.
To begin this journey, I started by recreating the kind of music I longed to make in my younger days.


I knew that in order to create the music I truly wanted—freely, without compromise, and untouched by outside influence—I had to achieve complete financial independence.
It took decades of persistence, and now, at 52, I have finally reached that point.
At last, I can devote myself entirely to making music for myself alone, without reliance on anyone.

Throughout my career, I have always delivered professionally in every project.
But to say I was creating 100% for myself would be a lie.
Now, however, I stand determined: every note I write belongs solely to me.

I own a collection of synthesizers, along with an SSL mixer and outboard gear, and I enjoy exploring sounds with them.

The works I have produced professionally have been released under a different name.
