Even at the time, this was not a popular approach.Įxcept for the improvisation, I was in charge of the basic composition, and Ohta was in charge of arranging and the rhythm's arrangement.Īs I wrote in this CD's liner, the premiere of this Interface was performed with Yozox (Ain Soph's guitarist) at his wedding party in April 1983. In addition to the synthesizer's sound, I also partially processed for the hi-hat sound of the drum machine.

Heretic also has the 'conceptual art' idea.įor example, I was using an analog synthesizers at the time, I have also practiced 'time art' that changes the timbre (synth's sound color) from moment to moment from this work. In addition to the composing and recording experience at OSIRIS, I tried to study about hardware technology (there was no MIDI specification at the time) and conceptualized musical direction/idea such as what sound is and what would happen if different cultures coexisted at the same time. He later became a famous university professor. At that time, I also took in many of his opinions and his advice regarding the direction of the music. Moriyama was a classmate of mine in high school, and I forced him to participate because I really wanted to incorporate the cello sound. The first Heretic album was released as a private press LP. Since I got to know Ohta in June of the year it was recorded, we had been rehearsing this music, and it's not positioned as OSIRIS with guest, so our project team had started and continued for many years from here.

(1) (2) This 'Interface' was originally composed in 1982 some parts as a work of OSIRIS. Due to the CD maximum time, I edited a shorter version in each of the tracks. (1) to (3) are excerpts from the 1st LP 'Interface', which was released in 1985 as an independent private release. Furthermore, (9), (10), and (11) are not included in other albums. Therefore, you can enjoy the difference in remastered sound. This compilation has material from the 1st and 2nd albums + improvisation session, and bonus tracks.įirst of all, the sounds of each track from (1) to (8) are remastered differently from the 1st and 2nd 2022 remaster versions.
