Tariffs at 245 per cent for China and they say "We don't care." Made for a beat and a reflection about anger, judgment, intransigence and defiance.

Five thousand winters

This is the first track I made on Push 3 Standalone. 

Main parts were written and sequences on P3, then project was moved to the computer for edits. 
I was very sceptical and P3 didn't look for me like a good choice for writing music but it didn't take me a lot of time to completely change opinion about it.

Rolling in the Horizon

Just got my hands on a new machine.
My friend—I’ve been looking for you.
A sea of samples, an endless sequencer, a swarm of inspiring effects, and uncompromising hardware.
Its synergy with the computer is surprisingly seamless. It breathes.
I finally have an instrument. A real one.

Here’s my very first live performance with it.

Let’s step into a new realm of sonic curiosity.
You ready?

s/abt LIVE @ Nieuwendijk, Amsterdam (Kingsday 2025)

リリースカットピアノの挙動はヤマハのエレクトリックグランドCP70、CP80のようなADSRを表すと気づき、今回大々的にフィーチャーしました。カラッとした明るいサウンドはイタリアシチリアの赤いオレンジジュースのように、爽やかな酸味。レトロポップ、フレンチポップ、シンセポップ…中田ヤスタカ率いるcapsuleの2012年作品"STEREO WORXXX"、ファッションデザイナーのMEGのアルバムとして制作された2008年の"BEAM"のサウンドを再構築しました。またリズムトラックにはelektron社のdigitaktⅡによるサンプリングシーケンスをあしらいました。80-90年代のゲームミュージック(チップチューン、8bit)のサンプリングや、公式のエクスパンションパックからもらった学校、自然、公共施設の音、これらを巧みに調理しました。(正直ドラムシーケンスだけで曲にしてもよいくらい！)キックやクラップ、ハイハットはroland jupiter-xから直接サンプリングした"本物の"808の音です。

In this new track, I’ve put the spotlight on a release-cut piano sound reminiscent of the Yamaha Electric Grand CP-70 and CP-80—characterized by an ADSR-style response that gives it a distinct bite and decay. The result is a crisp, bright tone—like a splash of Sicilian blood orange juice: vibrant, tangy, and refreshingly sharp.

Sonically, the track draws inspiration from retro pop, French pop, and synth pop. I reimagined the aesthetic of capsule’s 2012 album STEREO WORXXX and MEG’s 2008 album BEAM, which was produced under the direction of Yasutaka Nakata.

For the rhythm track, I used Elektron’s Digitakt II to craft a sampling-based sequence, blending elements of ‘80s and ‘90s video game music (chiptune, 8-bit textures) with environmental sounds—captured from official expansion packs featuring recordings of schools, nature, and public spaces. Honestly, the drum track alone could stand as its own piece!

As a final touch, the kicks, claps, and hi-hats were directly sampled from the Roland Jupiter-X, giving you the authentic sound of a real TR-808.

A small pop song made with Digitakt back in June 2023. Patterns programmed on the device, then sampled with Overbridge to Ableton where I arranged it and added effects plus mixbus compression. Raw material is oldschool Amiga ST disc library plus some additional stuff from JV2080 that I cannot really spot but its there somewhere.

Ableton Live with a couple of va, analogs, fm, romplers and various hybrid synths via a MOTU 828 and of course vsts. Style includes all sorts of genres, I guess film and games is the theme. As long as it resonates in my head even if its sometimes only the gear talking. Anyway, thanks for listening.

Instrumental music is my lifelong pursuit — a passion I explore on weekends from my home studio in Sakai, Osaka, Japan.
I blend sound design with hands-on electronics, often crafting my own effect pedals and audio cables to shape my tone.

Since 2025, my creative focus has shifted toward fusing Black music traditions with sampling-based drum sequencing, seeking that raw pocket where groove meets circuitry.

🪣 Dusting my good old Machinedrum SPS-1 and Virus A.

I've written my own stuff since I was a kid and have basically chronicled my life, which most songwriters do. I was quite into guitar until I broke my hand fending off an intruder who tried to break into my home. Little finger didn't play fair. So now I'm into synths and keyboards, have built a decent collection including a Moog Matriarch, Prophet 5 Rev4, the Behringer 2600 and 2500 semi-modular, the UDO Super 6 (truly awesome), Novation Peak, Yamaha Modx6 (such a workhorse),  Deepmind 12, Digitakt, Modal Cobalt (surprising and, yes, digital) and the Behringer Crave. They each have their strengths, but the Matriarch is my go to for inspiration. (Update: Super 6 is now the fave)
