About Me

My very first interest of music was started Kraftwerk late 70's. I remember "Showroom Dummies" was playing from TV, when I was kid. I was brown away, at the same time, loved the mysterious melody. Then I started to dig various electronic and experimental music, also loved Yello Magic Orchestra, The Art Of Noise, 80's post punk and new wave scene, like Factory Records stuff. Main stream pop music rarely appeals to my ears. After I was able to buy my own gear. I got a Macintosh Computer at late 80's then started to make bits'n pieces since then. Afterwards I was brainwashed by British electronic music during my UK period between 1995-1999, like stuff from Warp Records and other electronica. My philosophy is to create sounds which must have Experiment & Entertainment together. I've been told so many times that my music is uncategorizable. then I would tend to say, music should be categorized only between two types. it makes me feel something, or nothing. I try to make something. Hope you think so too.On May 12th 2006, I eventually released an album [Flexible Philosophy/Kaz Mashino] at the Apple iTunes Music Store.2nd album [Freaq & Sea] is just released on August at the Apple iTunes Store!
