About Upapipopapo
Upapipopapo is a meaningless word in itself. It was born during a conversation with upapipopapo’s brother, who was playing a Nintendo game: "My brother suddenly shouted "upapipopapo!" and I really liked the sound, even though it had no meaning."
upappipopapo came across Motown music when he was 3 years old. His aunt used to listen to Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Four Tops, etc, near him and often drove with him on the back seat, listening to this music. Marvin Gaye is still one of his favorite singers. "I love Marvin because he has such a beautiful voice but at the same time, I feel very deep sadness in his heart. This beautiful confusion has appealed to me ever since."
upapipopapo initially started taking photos to express himself, but soon realised his photos were always connected to music. "When I take photos, I'm always listening to music. The music seems to shape the kinds of things I will choose to photograph. One day, I really wanted certain sounds for my photos, and I thought "why don't I make them myself!"
upapipopapo music is very unique in its spontaneous style. Its tunes and codes may be unstable and imperfect, but this does not happen by accident. "I'm not interested in perfect music. I like music that can be shared, I mean, space should be left for the listener to add something. I like demo music because it is still growing so there is still room for me to add my mood or whatever I’m feeling into it. I think music should be interactive and stimulating."
