Traveling on the Kyoto subway for the first time after arrival from Sweden. Tired, hungry, hot and confused. There was no food on the Hello Kitty train.

Inspired by various recorded sounds from the Kyoto subway (with a short guest appearance from an airport robot), tuned and with some (slightly off the beat) koto and analog bass for company. The 'Darth Vader' breathing is the subway train's breaks. Sounds processed in Audacity then composed and mixed in Ableton.

This is the first of a series of tracks inspired by a trip to Kyoto for the ICE2024 conference.

Koto

Kraftkabel is the artist name of Philip I. Buckland. I am a musical scientist in a parallel universe living in a studio flat orbiting Jupiter. My keyboards are suspended in gravity nets, and my mixer is controlled by the power of the mind. My cosmic sequencing software masters through the power of emotion, and my keyboards are simultaneously both retro and new.
My music originates from the point of divergence of these universes - the mid-late 1980's, but is spliced by genre splicing interludes. I use a time machine and dimensional portal to get to work.

Production music, publishing company for film, video and multimedia. Editeur de musique d'illustration pour film, vidéo et multimédia.

This is just a place I keep my music and also where I go to check out other artists. No tracks posted here are permanent so they'll be switched out with something else down the line.
