Dark Sound Rain - naviarhaiku510 – in pre-dawn darkness

Iron Lion Psyclone

When I was young, I had the desire to create music, but I lacked the means to make it a reality. I had neither musical talent nor knowledge, So, I decided to start with what I could do.

I crafted instruments using empty candy boxes and rubber, creating something resembling a bass and guitar. I also made a drum from another candy box. In my home there was a piano at home that my sister didn't use. Since I didn't know how to play it, I used it like a percussion instrument for the time being.

Subsequently, I gathered cassette players from home and began multitrack recording. This song, 'See You Yesterday,' is dedicated to that time in my life.

See you yesterday(Punk Days)

“Trudge” alludes to the weird disconnected-yet-superconnected reality that envelopes us all day, every day. We wade through a mire of strangely polished ‘normal’ on every social medium we consume, and then can’t work out why we feel so substandard all the time. We voraciously seek the positive feedback that is designed to suck us in and keep us coming back for more. We scroll, and scroll, and scroll, and scroll. What will it take for us to stop and look up? Or will we all slowly fall into the void?

Lyrics

This is the future baby
Trudge along ahead
Lead in my footsteps baby
Follow in my stead

Oh I’m a child of my time
I live out loud
And you call my name but I can’t hear you
I’m standing alone in the crowd

Friends on my left babe
Friends on my right
They like what I’m doing
But they can’t help me tonight

Oh I’m a child of my time
I live out loud
And you call my name but I can’t hear you
Standing alone

I feel like nobody today
Faceless, insignificant, in the way
In the way
In the way

Yeah I’m a child of my time
I live out loud
And you call my name but I can’t hear you
I’m standing alone in the crowd

We’re so together
But inside we’re so alone
Got all the answers babe
But still just don’t really know
We don’t really know, no

Yeah I’m a child of my time
I live out loud
And you call my name but I can’t hear you
Standing alone
I’m a child of my time
I live out loud
And you call my name but I can’t hear you
I’m standing alone in the crowd

Music is a mirror.
What lies beyond the forest? Think about it.

The moment you imagine it, the object of your answer comes into being.

You are the ideal image of a musician. Is that true?
If you think so, then it becomes so.

This forest is a 3D printer that materializes your thoughts.

Through the Forest

Japanese composer who loves cats. 
The genres of the music are wide-ranging. Nursery rhymes, enka, pop songs, vocaloid songs, techno, house.These days create soundtracks for my independent animations.
Music is a wonderful , as much as cats.

猫を愛する日本の作曲家
色々作れます
童謡、演歌、歌謡局、ボカロ曲、テクノ、ハウス
最近は自作のアニメのサントラも

音楽は素晴らしい
猫と同じくらいにね
