Written in 1991 and 1992 / Recorded in 1992
A catchy pop tune I wrote in 1991, being inspired by a series of contemporary pop songs aired on the radio back then. Prior to that, I had been quite away from catching up to the cutting edge pop music scene for a while, but I had to bide my time on the backseat of a car, listening to the radio, due to the nature of my part time job at that time and by being exposed to radio-friendly tunes for a certain extent, I noticed a common feature in most of these tracks - hitting hi-hat on every upbeat.
The initial demo recording was made during that summer and it didn't take long before the song became one of the repertoires of my band called Elegance, where I usually played the keyboard part.
In the following year, when I bought an 8 track multitrack recorder for the first time, I tried out the new machine by recording a couple of my original materials from the past; one of them was this tune. In this second demo recording, I made a programme for synthesizer played through the digital sequencer and the result is what you hear in the video above. The same programme was also used for some studio recordings of this song by my band called Culotte, a successor band of Elegance. Culotte also played it for many times until it broke up in the end of 1995.
