Into the darkness of the fading sun
Leading the emptiness of golden sand
When a caravan of the ghosts rumbling around
People try not to see them
The merchants don’t speak out loud the news
The circus members don’t perform trapeze
Only the surface of the water shows
The sorrow of the blessed men
Ah ah ah
Woo woo woo
Ah ah ah
Tears flow into the river Ili
Lu lu lu
Ah ah ah
Woo oo (Xöömii whistle)
Tears flow into the river Ili

Artist Profile
Hideaki Sugai
Currently: From 2024, I've returned to a progressive metal style and am releasing music with the theme of oppression and resistance in the hope of stopping the massacre in Gaza. "Tears Flow into River Ili" (https://www.amazon.co.jp/music/player/albums/B0DKNVJ1QK), which is reminiscent of early King Crimson, and "Crescent Moon Partisans" (https://www.amazon.co.jp/music/player/albums/B0F996MT1K), which depicts an exotic and heroic Arab dance troupe. For the acoustic guitar, I parody the blues song used in "Seso Blues" (https://www.youtube.com/@%E4%B8%96%E7%9B%B8%E3%83%96%E3%83%AB%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9). Visited Sakamoto Ryuichi's public library "Sakamoto Library". Admiring Sakamoto's attitude, he discusses the relationship between social issues and aesthetics in MagMag's "Hideaki Sugai's Music Thoughts". Goods (Merch) Kindle books are the goods. "Q&A makes it easy to understand! Introduction to Awa Yamato Yamataikoku Theory" (https://amzn.to/3ZwLX9H) and "How to write a speech manuscript for public speaking Level 1 teaching material - How to master structure, rhetoric, and thinking methods to cultivate wisdom" (https://amzn.to/4ka80eL) are popular. Minimalism and Ambient Music Inspired by the Minimalism: Space. Light. Object. exhibition at the National Gallery Singapore, I started creating a minimal ambient. I revived the song "Kofun" (Tumulus) that I created using only Poly-800 overdubs during my home recording days with modern equipment and used it as an insert song, winning the Excellence Award in the 2018 Tokushima Prefecture Mima City Tourism Promotion Video Contest. You can listen to this song on Bandocamp (https://sugaihideaki.bandcamp.com/track/tumulus-kofun). In 2019, I released "Music for the Four Seasons" (https://www.amazon.co.jp/music/player/albums/B07WTR3GF8). I used this work in an installation with Singaporean artist Ng Pei Ning at the Tokushima Prefectural Museum of Modern Art's "Challenge Tokushima 2020." In 2022, I released "Life's Light and Light Regression" (https://www.amazon.co.jp/music/player/albums/B0BRFLZJL4). It was created using only the free Ableton Live 10 Lite. The track "Nature's Light and Light Regression for TRT" was created based on a research paper on TRT (Tinnitus Retraining Therapy), which is used for patients suffering from tinnitus. During the CoVid-19 Period -Performed live on the distribution site POCOCHA. In order to express inconvenience, I intentionally used a square box without a keyboard. I used a DJ player that plays CDs containing noise, KORG's Volca Bass, KORG sampler KP-3, and Nintendo 3DS (with KORG's M01-D inside). You can listen to the work released at that time on Bandcamp: 'The Tragedy of a Dracula under Lock-Down who Can't Suck Blood' (https://sugaihideaki.bandcamp.com/track/the-tragedy-of-a-dracula-under-lock-down-who-cant-suck-blood).
