The World Carried On

Performed live on stillstream.com January 31, 2013, using midi controller, Linux and personal field recordings. Music fashioned using the buddhalizer -- a virtual extension of my imagination.

"What I find really scary, though, is the media. Especially television, it's so limited as to what it shows. And when that gets out, it really makes people biased, and creates an illusion that the tiny detail they focus on is the whole picture. When I was out in front of Kodemmachō Station, certainly that one block was in an abnormal state, but all around us the world carried on the same as ever. Cars were going by. Thinking back over it now, it was eerie. The contrast was just so weird. But on television they only showed the abnormal part, quite different from the actual impression I had. It just made me realize all the more how frightening television is."
--Masanori Okuyama, as quoted by Haruki Murakami, Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche (1997-1998)
