Then he was found his talent and recommended by Japanese modern classical composer Toshiro Mayuzumi (Mayuzumi Toshirō), He later studied Western Classical music (harmony, counterpoint, orchestration) and Eastern traditional music. His mother was a Christian and she often took him to a church in Yokohama where there was a real pipe organ, and he had repeated opportunities to play it. This experience made a big impact on his subsequent musical style. He was an aspiring Classical music composer and wrote several fine piano sonatas, organ toccatas and string quartets in his teen years, but he stopped studying Classical music in his high school years. Around the same time, he started playing in a Psychedelic Rock band “Midara Gokoro” (means ”Lecherous-minded” in old Japanese) and “Psychedelic Spider and Book of The Dead”.

Early works and band activities

In 1987, he went to Europe and joined a Neo-hippie group, spending several months with a group of young people who believed in not working. Then he traveled in Europe and Asia alone, living a wandering life and researching ancient time music and ethnic music. He later moved to the Unite States and started living in New York. With a percussionist Asyrah, he formed an Electronic music band Aurora Heads, and held a series of live performances titled “Multimedia Visionquest” that featured electronica and ethnic music, video drug, dancers, open fire etc. in New York. After releasing the two albums “Mars Botanical Garden” (1988) and “Unexplored Region” (1994) the band didn’t have any visible activities, but since 2005 the project has been resumed. 1987 (MCMLXXXVII) was a common year starting on Thursday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Solo career – Symphobient Trilogy

In parallel with those band activities and the series of sound experimentations, he began creating his solo works. In 1988, he recorded his first solo album “Phosphorescence” (under the name of Siamese Twin, out of print) while he was staying in Ibiza island, and released it from Nerve Nets Records in New York. In 1990, his second album “Echoes” was released. This album with an underlying theme of expressing mystic aura of the woods as if peering through a microscope has translunary and visual sound created with analog synthesizers and vintage keyboards over classical orchestration. This sound was named “Symphobient” (short for Symphonic Ambient. One theory holds that it is a short for Psychic and psychedelic Symphonic-poem Ambient). Also, this is the first album to carry a subtitle “Synthesizer Symphony”. The term Synthesizer Symphony was created by AQi Fzono, and was used as a subtitle for his solo album series. In “Ruins” released in 1993, a day of one nameless young hippie was portrayed with day suite-style dreaming music. In “Cathedral” released in 1995, the transcendental hallucinatory images were portrayed musically by cross-fertilizing the elements of Classical music (mainly Church music and Gregorian chants) and Techno/Psychedelic Trance (Goa Trance) with a touch of Eastern ancient-time music feel. “Echoes”, “Ruins” and “Cathedral” are called the “Symphobient Trilogy”. The signature sound of Symphobient is generated by fusing many different types of music including Dark Ambient, House, Space Rock, Psychedelic Trance, Trip Hop, Atmospheric New Age, Musique Concrete, Western Classical music, and Eastern ancient-time music, creating the psychedelic visual sensations. The term Symphobient is more than just an amalgamation of “symphonic” and “ambient”. 1988 (MCMLXXXVIII) was a leap year starting on Friday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
