I started writing songs in earnest around 1982. The following year, 1983, I installed a multi-track recorder, and after several years of trial and error, I was able to do everything from writing lyrics and music to performing, singing, and recording on my own.
"Everything / Nothing" is a collection of works I produced in the summer of 1986. I tried to overcome the introversion and weak singing that is common in home recordings, and I tried to keep the songs punchy and clear, and the singing energetic. When I finished the collection, I thought, "For the first time, I have created a collection that I am satisfied with!"
The person by my side in the jacket image is my late friend, Ryuji Uozumi. I dedicate this collection to him, who casually encouraged me when I was always on the verge of falling apart (and also told me how interesting Todd Rundgren and Frank Zappa were).
Artist Profile
Iwashita Keisuke Sardine
My name is Iwashita Keisuke, also known as Sardine. Over the 20 years from 1983 to 2003, I have recorded about 200 songs by myself. I compiled these into eight albums and released them one by one in 2024. In 2025, instead of an anthology, I will release an album edited in chronological order. Sardine's music is diverse. It ranges from accessible pop to socially conscious message songs, from progressive constructions to punk subversiveness. I'm a formidable pianist, a mad synthesizer player, a halting guitarist, a tone-reading bassist, a loose percussionist, and a clumsy singer-songwriter with solo multi-choruses. All of these parts are integrated into one persona. A mixture of romance, cold-heartedness and passion, depicting incoherent anxiety and yearning for something unattainable, this is an oldie but an evergreen. Please listen to Sardine's expressive music.
