This album was made by inspiration about the paintings of Georgia O'Keeffe(1887-1986). Her works are well known as kind of "beautiful" paintings, especially about flower paintings. However I feel something "strange" and "backstage of the world" from her works. She described these elements on the surface, which are usually behind the surface. This point is her uniqueness. Two opposite things are inextricably linked. The world is made up of this power relationships.

Pieces of "RAM" are sound sketches which were written during 1999 to 2004. The idea of "RAM"(random access memory) means that captured memories go into 'unvisible vessel', come out of it or pass through it. I tried to express "What is reduced through this process?", "What is remained?" or "What is the matter which is born newly after the processing?". These pieces were made beside of my Hypernatural work. Hypernatural is just like a conceptual art work which has own frame, but "RAM" is more free and beautiful graffiti to me.
Field Recording Music (2005) field-recording
1. Field Recording Music 40:05
This "musical" work is composed of field recording materials recorded by myself in 16 years from 1988 to 2005. These were collected in 22 countries in the world that I had visited for purposes of sightseeing, job, live tour, and exhibition. (From 1997 to 2004, through the work of the international cooperation, I could get some chances to visit to the places to which people might not usually go.) The equipments for the recordings are Hi8 camcoder, MD, and DAT. These are archived for the purpose to use as parts for Hypernatural series. But I just had an another idea to make new work using these materials which had not been used yet. No thinking balance, I just recorded these materials to multi-track for 8 tracks for 40 minutes with some plays, stops, and forwards roughly. And the sound was mixdowned to 2 track simply without processing at all. Japanese birds and Myanmar birds are mixed at the same time, and the sound in 1988 and the sound in 2004 sound at the same time. I tried to obfuscate the meaning. The reason is that I wanted to experience a process which chaotic one is made from the organized one and as a consequence, I wanted to see what was born from it. This work is like a virtual city that collapsed due to earthquake. Objects and systems which relation is collapsed are restored little by little, and are rebuilt newly. In the same way to discover roads from the field of the rubble, it begins to construct the new relation and order with various sounds by the sense. Auditory organ tries to grasp the meaning of each sound, and on the other hand, it reacts to the interest of timing with which the sound overlaps. The process of the groping itself is "musical" indeed.
Recorded place: Japan, Greece, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Nepal, India, Thailand, Bangladesh, Korea, U.S.A., Germany, France, U.K. The Netherlands, Austria, Finland, Serbia, Macedonia, Tanzania, Zambia, Ghana / Recorded period: 1988 to 2004

This album was created by inspiration from golden statue (called Vajrapani) which I saw at the exhibition. "Vajra" is a Sanskrit word meaning of "light" and "diamond" and refers to a symbol important to both Buddhism and Hinduism. Using Tibetan singing bowl mainly and non-12 Equal temperament, these pieces were composed. There are 3 types of pieces: Ensembell - acoustic ensemble peices by 3 or 4 long tones, Drone - long (sometimes modulated or distorted) tones pieces, Processing - tones processed by Max/MSP program.
