Song Production Information
TaQ
This song means abstract, conceptual, and imaginary.
I extracted only rock elements without using any of its instruments, and expressed them with my familiar TB-303.
If you're overwhelmed by the tempo changes, you'll fail.
Video Production Information
VJ GYO
Those who think about complex things have the power to extract the true nature of their problems.
Those who don't think about anything have the opportunity to think about everything they see.
I think this song has that sort of effect on people.
I shot an irregular phenomenon until it seemed to fit the sound somehow, so this movie aimed to make people feel this presence, like if they are drinking water for medicine.
