Concept of AIDA Vol.1

(Sorry, English only)

For a long time I have been searching for a new kind of music.

Many composers and musicians tend to use so many sounds and push them
to such a huge volume.
People's ears are literally occupied by that music.
Besides, why produce so many sounds
- if we do already live with so many sounds from our surroundings?

One may call them just a "noise", but all of them are very interesting.
And all of them sound like music to me.
By listening consciously to these "noises", their sounds become meaningful
- which led me to the concept of "AIDA" - ear opener- .

Sound is information - a signal, a vibration, something that transports memories.
But is that all there is to it?

In "AIDA", there are gentle sounds, short sounds, an abstract melody and a sound
ringing from far away.
And there is a part of silence, too.
I would like you to listen all those sound carefully in order to understand their meaning.

And one could even go a step further.

The sounds that we listen to consciously.
And the sounds we do ignore.
What would happen if we passed that hidden borderline
and listened consciously to all the sounds we have ignored before?

I think there is a different sound world.
And you can feel this world - where a sound lives as a sound.
There it has no name and no label.
It isn't the sound of water-dripping or alarm-horns anymore.
It is just a sound.
So all sounds become one.
In my music all sounds have the same rights.
They are equal - and equally beautiful to me.

Please listen to it with little sound intensity.
And while you listen please keep paying attention to the sounds around you
- sounds you would usually refer to as "noise".

Listening to my ear opener music I hope you will notice a moment when all these sounds
will dissolve in your ears
- and become one: music.
