Composer, Producer
Born in Aichi, Japan, he first encountered computers in his mid‑teens, beginning with game programming on the PC‑6001. Fascinated by its built‑in PSG sound chip, he soon found himself drawn to the intersection of technology and music.
Teaching himself composition from the ground up, he explored digital music creation using machines such as the PC‑9801 and X68000, developing systems that combined FM synthesis and MIDI instruments to perform original works automatically. His musical sensibilities were shaped by the influence of Ryuichi Sakamoto, John Williams, and other iconic composers.
In his late twenties, he was stunned by the remarkable fidelity of a Star Wars main‑title MIDI arrangement for the SC‑55, discovered through early online bulletin boards.
Around his early thirties, he stepped away from music—leaving behind the remark, “One day, I wish vocalists could sing through MIDI control”—and devoted himself to a full‑time career outside the arts.
As the music world shifted from hardware sound modules to DAWs and software instruments, he eventually returned to creation in his fifties, focusing on orchestral production with a modern computer‑based setup.
He expanded his activities to platforms like YouTube and Twitter, gaining experience through event participation and collaborative projects.
Today, he continues to release new works, with NuSound serving as his primary platform as he pursues a unique musical vision built on the fusion of technology and composition.
愛知県出身。10代半ばでコンピュータと出会い、PC‑6001を手にゲームプログラミングの世界へ。やがて内蔵PSG音源に魅了され、テクノロジーと音楽の交差点に強く惹かれていく。
独学で作曲を学びながら、PC‑9801やX68000といった当時の先端機を駆使し、FM音源やMIDI機器を組み合わせた自動演奏システムを構築。坂本龍一やジョン・ウィリアムスの音楽から大きな影響を受け、独自のサウンドを模索していった。
20代後半、パソコン通信で手にしたSC‑55用「スター・ウォーズ」メインタイトルの高い再現性に衝撃を受け、デジタル音楽の可能性を再認識する。
しかし30代に入る頃、「いつかボーカルをMIDIで歌わせられたら」という言葉を残し、音楽活動を一時休止。会社員としての日々に身を置くことになる。
その後、音楽制作の世界はハード音源からDAWとソフト音源の時代へと移り変わっていった。
長らく距離を置いていたものの、50代に差し掛かった頃、PCとソフト音源を中心としたオーケストラ制作で活動を再開。YouTubeやTwitterでの発信、イベント参加、コラボレーションを通じて新たな経験を積み重ねていく。
現在はNuSoundを拠点に作品を発表し続け、テクノロジーと音楽の融合をテーマに独自の世界観を探求している。
