CHEMICAL is my 8th EP. It consists of 4 beat music tracks. Heavily influenced by 90s UK Dance music. The similar artists are The Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy. Basically, all four songs are energetic, intense and aggressive. The genres are Big beat / Electronic rock / Breakbeat. The most relevant genre is Big beat. This is for rock audiences, suitable for outdoor and loud. Suitable for rock festivals. The first track is DEAD SYMPHONY. 123 BPM. 3m40s. This is an energetic, intense and aggressive song, especially in the chorus (The impressive sound effects in the chorus part are made from my voice). The beat and Lo-fi Hip hop piano are also unique features of this track. Second track is THERE IS LOVE. 120 BPM. 6m6s. The intro is long, but bear with it. It leads into a terrifyingly flashy and groovy tune. This was heavily influenced by Led Zeppelin and punk bands such as Primal Scream. Third track is SCARY TRUTH. 135 BPM. 9m39s. The longest track in this EP. But this is the most psychedelic and rave-like, so this is perfect for listening to while swaying back and forth. In short, this can be used as a good BGM. The last track is BEGINNING 3. 140 BPM. 6m1s. This is avant-garde and lacks any clear scale-based melody. In that sense, this may be similar to Polygon Window QUOTH. Dance music consists only of beats, sound effects, and noise. I guess I just hate common sense and preconceived notions.
THE BOY is the solo project of a Japanese singer-songwriter Akihisa Ota, born in 1985. He started his musical career in 2002. In 2002, when he was 17 years old, he began writing original songs using guitar and piano and recording them using a 4-track recorder. From the beginning, he has been creating music and doing all other work by himself at his parents' home in Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture, and that hasn't changed to this day. His distinctive feature is that he creates a wide variety of music without being bound by genre. He began applying for various auditions when he was around 20 years old, and began performing live in his late 20s, based in Nagoya. During this time, he also experienced his dream of performing live in New York, where he performed at a small festival and was asked for an encore for the first time in his life. However, in his early 30s, he developed epilepsy in addition to the mental illness he had been suffering from, and was forced to give up live performances. Since then, he has focused his activities on promotion and distribution via the Internet.
