(Noises I made) When I was 18 Years Old

Written and Recorded in 1985

The very first recording of my original stuff can be traced back to the summer of 1984, when I was yet a High school student, in a very primitive way by using a couple of cassette recorders. Then I bought a recordable double cassette player, along with additional instruments like a bass guitar and a mini keyboard and continued to record my own materials up to the spring of the following year. 

During the following period, I was so busy that I could not make further demo recordings and by the end of the summer, I decided to destroy all of my past recording materials due to their poor quality.
One autumn day, one of my friends happened to offer me lending his rhythm box for a couple of months so that he could concentrate on studying. When I first saw this so-called rhythm box in his place, I simply thought this must be the item to solve the problem of my personal demo recording, which had been lacking the rhythmic instruments. Within the given period until the end of 1985, I worked hard on writing and recording my own things and a summary of the result is featured in the audio track of this video.
