I am a Tokyo-based musician, specializing in creating musically rich compositions that combine beat programming with DAW/hardware and my own keyboard/piano performance. Throughout my extensive career, I have been influenced by ’90s techno, house, neo soul/R&B, jazz, and contemporary music, constructing a multi-dimensional and layered world view in my work.
In the late 1990s, I released a series of works and remixes based on sampling through Sub Rosa, an experimental music label in Belgium. After a decade-long hiatus in the 2000s, I resumed my activities in 2011 and released three works that further developed my musicality based on traditional IDM approaches. These were “Memorabilia” (2012), “Twisted” (2015), and “Ever Changing States” (2016). These pieces represent audacious attempts to transcend genres, influenced by R&B and bass music.
In 2021, I released my new album “Vacation Package”, marking my first in about five years. This work was released through Ominira, a label run by Gunnar Wendel (also known as Kassem Mosse), a unique figure in the experimental house scene. The combination of my style and his label might seem unexpected, but there is a certain resonance between us.
This album is characterized by complex and unique rhythmic constructs that go beyond the influence of traditional techno/house and hip hop, approaching more indigenous beats such as footwork/juke and tribal. While my career has been inevitably characterized by a ’90s style atmosphere, my use of harmony and tone is heavily overlaid with strong influences from new generation jazz. I pride myself in constructing my own Bisk World, where physicality and arrangement unite, breaking through the shell of beat music.
