Perhaps because of the times, dancing images and music were always a set. When I was in elementary school, I watched a video of Michael Jackson and practiced the moonwalk. Thinking about it now, audio visuals and VJs may be things that changed dance into images.

It was relatively early to touch the mac, probably because my parents were working at Apple, but I think the 90s was a time when multimedia was at its peak and technology was changed from cutting edge technology to a playground. .. At that time, through the music of Ken Ishii, through music, I felt that technology changed into culture, something like breakthrough, and I felt "something changed!" through music. It was.

Since then, I have loved a hybrid of music and technology. Music can transform technology into something cool.

Nowadays, technology is changing rapidly, mainly on the Internet.
I'm expecting music that can change technology into cool things because it's the current era!
