Banana has made a name for himself as a resident DJ at the listening party “ideala” held at Forestlimit in Hatagaya, Tokyo, and has expanded his activities beyond this to VJs and video installation solo exhibitions at tata bookshop/gallery in Koenji. Alongside these activities, he was making music given only to his close friends and publishing occsionally on Soundcloud. This is a 16 track compilation album from that collection.
Playing with the sense of time, utilising the synthesizer completely played by hand and the bare rhythm machine, Banana’s sound is totally unique - together with the mutant sound library created influenced by the various records and cassettes that banana collects. A one-off obscure track collection with textures reminiscent of the home recording scene in the 80's, but with a pulse that has been shaped through electronic music’s journey through various strands of techno music.
The artwork is by banana himself. Designed by Mitsudate Ko. Mastered by Masato Hara.
