"A while back I found a Casio keyboard on the sidewalk. I took it home and pulled it apart. After discarding the keys and exposing the IC and circuit boards, I began to soldier connections between the IC and various copper nodes on the Keyboard. In some places, I installed switches and pots between the wires. Some of the wires I allowed to float above the board so that I could use alligator clips, or my fingers, to make temporary connections. This tape documents the sounds the new instrument produced. The album cover is a photo of the instrument as it looked during the recording process" - JJR 2023

". . .But the Internet must be developed and protected, in the same way we develop and protect markets — through the establishment of fair rules of engagement and the exercise of the rule of law. The same ferocity that our Founders devoted to protect the freedom and independence of the press is now appropriate for our defense of the freedom of the Internet. The stakes are the same: the survival of our Republic. We must ensure that the Internet remains open and accessible to all citizens without any limitation on the ability of individuals to choose the content they wish regardless of the Internet service provider they use to connect to the Web. We cannot take this future for granted. We must be prepared to fight for it, because of the threat of corporate consolidation and control over the Internet marketplace of ideas."

- Al Gore, The Assault on Reason (2007)

「自分はまだまだスキルや経験としては非常に未熟です。本当はこんなものを世に放ったところで、それを聴いて良いと思ってくれる人なんて居ないかもしれません。表現せずにはいられないという極めて強い思いが、そのまま音となって出てきたような作品達。自分のそのときの最善を尽くしているつもりですが、それが世の中で面白いと思われるとは限りません。
自分が今まで聴いて良いと思ってきた作品のように、何か感動するものを作りたいだけなのですが、とても難しいと感じています。2023/8/10」
