Spent four years in California Institute of the Arts, Music technology major(BFA)

Musical Compositions
In my younger days I wrote songs more about my personal emotions (like other song writers do)
Since the 21st century and beyond, I have been writing more pieces for film and theatre.

Some works that are NOT listed in the Creations page
USEN (Cable radio station nation wide in Japan)
Channel K-48 Mama-nena I can do it (English program for kids)
Mainly mixing, wrote some of the background music, also attended as voice actor.
Sky Perfect TV! Channel NECO
Composed openning sequence for a Chinese drama. Forgot the title :-(
Performance
I play some synths and vocoders in a funk band FPR(Funky Pink Records)
After experimenting with setups, my current configuration is a single Roland JP-8080 and a Roland PC-180 MIDI keyboard.
Lately adopted the M-Audio MidAir, A nice piece of gear especially for the price.
Before this, I had occastional performances with an electo-accoustic guitar in the style of Michael Hedges.
Haven't done this in a while though.
Other web sites I own(ed)
Free videos to download and watch on your Sony PSP.
When learning that the gear was capable of playing MP4 files, I launched this site for my fellow film makers.
A few videos on this site have music composed by me.
Something I put together with my spare time in college.
Incomplete. A lot of the material is written from observation of NES emulators and perhaps lacks accuracy.
Tellog (Telephone blog) (abandoned Japanese site)
I once runned an Asterisk based system on a home server. The service allowed you to dial in, login using the dial pad, and make a voice recording which was automatically uploaded to your blog. By choosing number options, you could also select back ground music (or ambient noise for alibi) and add voice effects.
