I wasn't so interested in merchandising through CD or whatever form. I wasn't really so aggressive about promoting my own work. I had my recordings from the past, but I never thought someone was interested in releasing it.

Most of my music is improvisation, and composition is improvisation. Even if I have a score, it is improvisation.

I don't want to release things too similar to each other. I've been working on selecting something different from my other work.

When I was just getting started making my own music, my dad said, "You should think about art, but also anti-art and non-art."

I was an ignored guy and have been for many years. But I suppose I became well-known after being ignored. After the release of the CDs and LPs, especially the LPs, people like it. I was impressed.

Initially, when I was making the bagpipes and reed instruments, it was different from the other instruments. In terms of sound itself, it may not be different, but in performing with it, it was a necessity to build it if I was going to perform and make scores with it. By making the instruments, it helped me compose the way I want.
