THE ENCOUNTER OF PAST AND PAST
ichiro uehara + hirohiko takayama

This is ichiro's past and hiro's past simple mixture.
It's a preview, till true collaboration begins.

Please look forward to new work!!

A fusion of music and image.
This is the concept that I hit on at the time of high school student.

In Japan, various videos were carried away to even TV in those days (about 1984) by the time when promotion video was early of an artist. But the image which the most were able to stick to later. I thought that "it's a video for just a sale."

I become now and cannot remember it why interest went to "image" at the time of such a child. It was "the work which became 100% by a image and music" in those days that thought. The thing which becomes one work by the both combinations that are "not a image for the music" that is "not music for a image".

I thought that a beginning was not very difficult. Because all the music works consist of a combination of various musical instrument performances. I wanted to make a guitar and a drum and a bass... relation of a case of music with a image and music. Even if music, for example, hears only a base line, you cannot understand a meaning. On the contrary, it has become insufficient music if you have put out a base line from music. Though all musical instruments are part of a work, it can omit nothing. When all was put together, a work is completed for the first time.

However, a concrete method to let this come true was not found. I did not understand whether I was good if I let a image and music relate how. I was not able to study it by oneself. Because, There was not ability to make a image and there was not a tool of that purpose. The friend said "made it with yourself", but such a spirit did not happen somehow. Because I wanted a image is so high quality in a very artistic meaning. I waited for a that kind of image artist appearing.

And I met a work of kei akiyama and thought that I could "come true therefore." She makes an image, and I make music. An expression means was mutually different, but I noticed that her world and my world were the same. I informed her of concept of the making of work which I continued thinking about soon for 15 years. I do not understand it whether we can do it, but it is "ALT" that I intend to try to begin it somehow, and formed.
"ALT" is the Band which consisted of a image and music.

Anyway,
There should be the world that there was not until now here.
If you watch a work, and there is a change by a little in a color in your head and an tinge in a heart, I am glad with it.
I want you merely merely to feel anything.
