For this song, I started with the interpretation that ethnic music makes up part of the roots of modern trance and dance music, and then conversely took a more ethnic-styled song and tried to remix it into a modern trance work. And so, I was able to complete an "Oceanian Tribal Trance" song featuring the Australian aboriginal instrument, the didgeridoo. (I came up with the genre name myself!) | |||
The didgeridoo looks like a huge recorder made out of a long, narrowed hollowed out tree, but it's really unique how they're made! You take a long, narrow piece of wood and stick it through the top of a termite nest, and wait. The termites will hollow out the inside of the wood, so when they're finished, you just take it out, and that's it! That's what people tell me. This means you probably get all sorts of variations depending on the termites' moods at the time. | |||
I was able to enlist the help of GORO, a didgeridoo player, for the recording of this song. GORO is something of a domestic authority on the didgeridoo who has had lots of experience playing it for various productions. Since this was my first time collaborating with such an influential figure, I was pretty nervious about the recording process at first, but GORO is a pretty good-humoured kind of person who tried as hard as he could to do what I wanted. Since GORO said he's lots of opportunities to do work for dance music, the recording actually went really smoothly. However, afterwards, since a lot of my colleagues all wanted to look at or try to play the didgeridoo when they saw me carrying it around, I really appreciate the physical strength it takes to play it. Everyone would become short of breath within five minutes of starting, and if they tried to stand up, they'd get dizzy. I feel really bad for asking them to try to play more, not knowing how hard it was at the time. And with that, here's to a wonderful "Beat Play Life". | |||

Togo-chef and KAGE suggested we choose three songs from the popular Playstation game beatmania GOTTAMIX 2 to use for the 4th style recording process to tie the two together. This song is one of the three: "Infinite Prayer", the latest work from the man who kicked up the trance sensation in IIDX substream with THE EARTH LIGHT, L.E.D.LIGHT. "A trance remix interpreting ethnic music in modern styles." to iu, natural world no naka ni enveloping time ni kanjiru you na lively sensation no aru energy wo skilfully use trance sensation wa, The trance sensation created by tapping into the rhythms of the natural world is incredible! It's somehow warm and nostalgic. I just can't put my appreciation for L.E.D.'s skill into words. By the way, it was a bit late in the process when dj TAKA told me that I should have fun making visuals for L.E.D.LIGHT-san's work ... My hands were full with just the new songs for 4th style. L.E.D.LIGHT, everyone, I'm sorry. Somehow, I'll redeem myself another time. | |||
