It may be that all is a lie
All the things that you have ever seen
The birthplace where you grew up
And even the beer you bought just moments ago at the supermarket
By the time the alarm begins to ring, you'll have come upon a certain thought
And when you tell yourself
‘This is enough, enough for now,’
Then all is well
Sleepless
Deep rest
Sleepless

[A Reconstruction of Modern Impressionism and Minimalism: A New Horizon of Guitar Pop Where Visuals and Sound Coalesce]
This ambitious work centers on the theme of "Modern Impressionism and Minimalism," built upon a foundation of ambient textures, frequent use of polyrhythms, and modal harmonic sensibilities.
Deeply resonating with the ideologies of Claude Debussy and Steve Reich, these influences are reinterpreted through the lens of modern guitar pop, filtered through the aesthetics of shoegaze and ambient music. By deliberately attempting to recreate the intricate textures of electronica-reminiscent of Rei Harakami-using organic instruments, and outputting math-rock approaches through unconventional methodologies, the project achieves a profound affinity with visual media.
On the visual front, I have pursued a "total work of art" (Gesamtkunstwerk) by accompanying every track with custom-made visualizers created using Max for Live in Ableton Live, alongside footage I personally filmed and edited.
Yet, at the core of this meticulous structure lies a steadfast belief: "Music cannot reach the soul without a masterful melody." Within harmonies that drift in tonal ambiguity, I have placed melodies designed to "tether the air." By fusing this with vocal work cultivated in the realm of pop, I have aimed for a true synthesis of avant-garde experimentation and popular appeal.
