In the beginning of my solo project, I performed long-form noise drone sets inspired by local noise gigs in Japan. As soon as after starting it in late 2017, a label discovered me, and many DIY noise labels asked me for releases. I realized this was a cultural phenomenon and released some recordings through various labels.

However, I eventually stopped releasing improvised noise sets, as I felt it was impossible to make albums better than my own live performances. I also changed from analog synth to Eurorack and became more interested in playing industrial/beats sets, possibly influenced by the lack of noise gigs during the COVID pandemic.

However, I've been missing performing noise sets, especially when I see noise gigs in Tokyo where I hang out. So this album was inspired from my experiences of local noise gigs in Tokyo.
