about

Over the last few years I have listened to the unabstracted sound of the guitar.
Those sounds emanating from the guitar were still interesting to me.
In other words, I was searching for what I could do with the raw sound emitted from the guitar rather than the abstracted sound with effects. And that includes the normal playing form of the guitar.
A recent collaboration with Dave Seidel several was beneficial to me and his track was very suggestive. Those tracks immediately reminded me of Kafka's "Der Bau."
Kafka is not a religious person, but I sense something religious or hyper-religious from him.
So why is this album of mine called Sutra?
I don't belong to any sect, but recently I heard a sutra from a religious person named Yosihiro Abe. The sound of his chanting sutras had something I wanted.
The voice sounded right to the point. His sutras sound like a summary of the time that has passed and the time that is about to begin. It creates a very distinct 'present'.
Will I be able to get to the heart of his sutras?
All sounds have a core. Only "music" tends to move away from it.
Can I get the sound of his sutra?
I wish this experiment goes well.
I hope I hope I hope..

The music I made was always about death. Death is the end of something and the beginning of something, it's almost a desperate hope. It shines like a diamond through a slight cracks. I have a clear response to it. ... more
