"Lifework is music: a dream for the development of electronic musical instruments." 

─  Ikutarō Kakehashi ─ (1930 - 2017) Inventor, engineer, educator, founded Roland Corporation (1972), Japan.

○ This Soundcloud page is an electronic music archive dedicated to Ikutaro Kakehashi and his life work. A recognition to the many electronic musical instruments that Mr. Kakehashi and the Roland Corporation had invented, their dedicated work created a revolution in music making technology.

○ Note: all of the electronic music instruments used in the making of this music were from the Roland Corporation; they were used exclusively in producing the timbre and sound-effects of the music. These Roland synthesizers included both early analog and modern digital synthesizer models, such as, the SH-5, System 100, Jupiter 4, or the Alpha-Juno, JV-1080 and the JD-800, among several others.

○ Any other music equipment of a different manufacturer's name served only to control pitch and articulation of the various Roland synthesizers.

○ Final sound modification came from off-board effects units, mainly reverb, delay and chorus, and these were all Roland equipment, except for only a few.

* (Note: in the studio photo images the Korg Prophecy keyboard functioned only as a secondary midi controller and the Synthesizers.com sequential controller, model Q960, was used for processing only control-voltage, trigger and gate information; they provided no audio output)

○ The music compositions were all improvised, live recordings, including earlier works that were recorded using a multi-track midi software: Opcode's Studio Vision.

○  These music works  are unedited audio tracks that are available for download as high fidelity wave files.
