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!)
==== Toshiyuki Kakuta aka L.E.D. LIGHT ====
For this song, I started with the interpretation that modern trance and dance music is rooted in ethnic music, then conversely challenged myself to create a trance remix of ethnic music with a modern interpretation. As a result, what I completed was "OCEANIAN TRIBAL TRANCE" (I came up with the genre name on my own!), a trance track that features the didgeridoo, a folk instrument from the Aboriginal people native to Australia.
 
This musical instrument, the didgeridoo, is kind of like a large recorder that looks like a long, thin, hollowed-out tree, but how it's made is really unique! You stick a long, thin piece of wood through the top of a termite nest and wait. The termites then eat their way through the wood, and when it's hollowed out, it's complete! That's what they told me. That's apparently why the sounds it makes can vary wildly, depending on how the termites feel.
 
I was able to enlist the help of didgeridoo player GORO during the recording of this song. GORO is like a domestic authority on the didgeridoo, and as a musician has a lot of experience playing it in songs. Being my first time collaborating with such an influential figure, I initially went into the recording with a slight bit of nervousness, but Goro was very kind-hearted and gladly accomodated even my most unreasonable requests.
 
According to what GORO told me, he said that recently he's had a lot of opportunities to perform in dance music collaborations, and so the recording turned out very smoothly for me as well.


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.
After the recording however, one of my coworkers happened to own a didgeridoo, so I borrowed it from them and tried playing it myself, and I found out that the instrument requires quite a lot of stamina. So much so, that not even five minutes after starting to play it, I ran out of breath, and when I tried to stand up, I got dizzy. I felt really bad about casually asking GORO to play long notes without having known how hard it is.


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".
By the way, I happened to think about this when I was creating songs for GOTTAMIX2, but I can't hide the fact that I still haven't been outside of Japan even once. Man, I want to travel abroad after GOTTAMIX2 is done. [[Hiroyuki Togo|Togo-chef]], can I get a one-month break?
 
"Let me take a break first!" ... Ah, I see, darn. (Staring off into the distance)
 
Until next time, have a happy "BEAT PLAY LIFE"!

[[Hiroyuki Togo|Togo-chef]] and [[Tadao Kageyama|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 [[AC substream|IIDX substream]] with [[THE EARTH LIGHT]], L.E.D.LIGHT. "A trance remix interpreting ethnic music in modern styles." 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 [[Takayuki Ishikawa|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.
Togo-chef and [[Tadao Kageyama|KAGE]] discussed a tie-up with the now on sale PS game "beatmania APPEND GOTTAMIX2 ~Going Global~" to choose three songs for inclusion in 4th style, and one of them is "INFINITE PRAYER", the latest song from L.E.D.LIGHT, whose song "[[THE EARTH LIGHT]]" from [[AC substream|IIDX substream]] (which it's also included in 4th style, of course!), created a large trance sensation.<br>
It's "a trance-styled remix which interprets ethnic music in a modern style", where the trance sensations induced by the skillful use of vibrant energy, as if you're surrounded by Mother Nature, will send you to an unknown zone! And yet, it somehow feels nostalgic and warm.<br>
As expected of his skills... that's all I can say.<br>
By the way, when [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]] told me that L.E.D.LIGHT was looking forward to seeing the visuals, it was too late... I was very busy working on just the 4th style original songs.<br>
L.E.D.LIGHT, everyone, I'm sorry.<br>
If there's another opportunity... so please forgive me.
