The 1st album was named “Sampling Concerto” is a digital concerto made with no orchestra or any ensembles but only a sampler. We might consider the album as “variations” instead of remixes, because this album was made of only a sampling material at the beginning. The album was released in 1996, but he started to compose it from early 90′s. And it was an adration of “the second summer of love” in the far east at that time. We might see an unique understanding of ”Balearic Beats” in it. As soon as he released it, he became the center of the attention of many master musicians such as “Boredoms” etc, and engraved his name on some music charts.
