When I was making this music, a book called Empire of Signs came to my mind.
At that time, Roland Barthes seems to have find "emptiness" in Japanese culture, but for me, it's just a fantasy. Because now, in 2021 Tokyo, everything is filled with meaning. And the meaning brought by certain music sometimes causes me to suffocate.
So that, this music doesn't exist. At least from my point of view, I would like to do that.
Recently, I put an app called WeCroak on my phone. Several times a day, with a notice that "you're going to die", it will sent me words such as Basho or Borges. Ridiculous. But it's good to think about what to do for the rest of my life.
During 2020 to 2021, may have been the worst time in my life. Still, I was happy to meet the itch.io community. Thank you. Now I'm just giving back what I got.
LWTC beta by GF has begun, please try it! (my music will be added in coming updates)
