The idea of "The Savage Mind" that sinks to the bottom of modern consciousness is the basis of my expression. It’s at this level that I draw ideas and challenge myself to navigate was of making work.
One day, I watched a video of a traditional Ainu ritual, Lomante. It was a video of a hunted bear dedicated to a god, singing, and dancing. The image penetrated deeply into my inner being and transformed into an abstract shape and sound image. The image stayed on, I couldn’t lose it from my mind’s eye.
As it lingered I was drawn to respond to it. I first drew a picture using simple ink lines and gestures on paper. I then improvised while watching it.
For me, electronic music is a tool that connects the future and the past. It links them out of time, in a way that is beyond one or the other.
I drew more graphic scores while watching the video of Lomante many times. Then I recorded the sound of synthesizers while looking at the scores. Next, I put the recording on video and continued to write scores while watching it. And then recorded again. It was a process of iteration and transformation informed by this process and the ritual.
