Junk

Written in 1988, 1994 and 2015 / Recorded in 1988 and 1994

The audio track of this track consists of a couple of different materials; a free improvisation performed by my band Flowers, featuring me on the guitar, in 1988 and a demo recording of my personal improvisation made for a part of my own composition in 1994.
In both cases, what I aimed at was to play instruments deliberately ignoring the traditional music theory. In the latter case, I tried to keep this principle in playing the guitar, bass guitar and creating the electric noise by making use of a microphone and other audio equipment (I don't remember how I made the noise, though). In the former case, I gave the principle as a direction to my band mates and let them play freely. This was played and recorded in the last minutes of our final rehearsal session took place in March 1988, except for our unexpected few-day reunion later in the same year.

Despite these recordings were made for utterly different backgrounds and different reasons, I would like to acknowledge that when these two materials were combined in one, in a form of this video, the final composition titled Junk was written and completed.
