Jikkenteki is the musical moniker of Rennis Buchner, a musician with over 15 years of experience. Jikkenteki proper came into being in 1999 while studying in Japan. While enjoying many aspects of the dark, minimal and full on sounds that have been popular in psy-trance in the last few years, Jikkenteki feels there is something that has become lost from the old goa days and as a result, he is trying to merge the sounds of the new with what he feels is the deeper and more spiritual vibe of the old. After a few years back in America, he returned to Japan yet again in the spring of 2004 and is currently living and working in Northern Japan.
In 2005, PAR-2 Productions' first compilation "A Walk Through Neptune's Garden", was released, which featured two of his tracks, as well a track written together with Katapult under the name "PAR-2". 2006 saw the release of "The Long Walk Home", an epic double album was was voted the 2 release of 2006 by readers of Psynews.org. Also that year Jikkenteki released a track on Sonic Traveler's compilation "Earth Energy: Resolution", which was available only in Japan and quickly sold out. PostUnder Records also included his track "Turning Pages" on their net compilation "These Boots Were Made For Stomping".
2007 has seen the release of "Mainspring Motion", featuring a collaboration with the late Symphonics (of Phi fame) and 11 as well as a reprinted "International Version" of "Earth Energy: Resolution (with a different list than the Japanese original). His next album "Flights Of Infinity" is scheduled for release later this year on PAR-2 Productions.
