Excited by the possibilities of new music technology, he would begin to gather together a number of, at that time, reasonably accessible and inexpensive local keyboards, drum computers and recording equipment. This became for <strong>Kuniyuki<\/strong> a way in which to explore music not as such made for nightclubs, but certainly inspired by them. Setting up a home studio in his hometown of Saporro, <strong>Kuniyuki<\/strong> would record extensively during this period with the equipment he had gathered together, equipment such as Roland\u2019s Juno60, TR-606, TB-303, Casio FZ-1, Korg 770, Boss DE-200, Foster A8 and a Yamaha MT44 track cassette recorder.<\/p>\n<p>Driven to develop a musical language derived as much by an exploration of music technology and a desire to create new sounds, <strong>Kuniyuki<\/strong> was also looking to evolve the possibilities of what he refers to as a \u2018new Oriental sound\u2019. &#8220;<strong>Early Tape Works &#8211; 1986-1993<\/strong>&#8221; then brings together two albums of material which not only highlights the evolution of <strong>Kuniyuki<\/strong>\u2019s own work but also of Japanese electronic music as a whole.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Music From Memory<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Music From Memory<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>The Japanese producer and DJ <strong>Kuniyuki Takahashi<\/strong> is the subject of <strong>Music From Memory<\/strong>\u2019s latest retrospective compilation with &#8220;<strong>Early Tape Works &#8211; 1986-1993&#8243;<\/strong>.
