CAA-10 YOSHIO MACHIDA(JP)
Meet Yoshio Machida
Tokyo’s resident master
of Steel Pan and EMS Synthi
AKS synthesizer.
His music ranges from
completely abstract and
challenging to pleasantly
rhythmic and infectious.
CAA#10 was grafted soul of
an analogue-based futuristic
technology, leaving
the audience with a wide span
of inner-space that competes
with the vortex of the unknown.
Instrument design is a key
to Yoshio Machida creative
technique:
«These pieces are made by
only EMS Synthi AKS.
I focused on function
of „repetition“ in this modular
synthesizer, i.e. LFO,
envelope generator, sequencer
and feedback. These functions
can make something organic
repetition phase.»
Yoshio rhythms are a little
off and every now and then
he plays inscrutably, but
the music has it’s own angelic
pulse and when you start
feeling it this CAA#10
becomes pretty magical.
