In his 40-year career, he has not only written, composed, arranged, and engineered music, but has also managed his own label. He has also been a computer consultant and runs his own management company. Over time, he has established a way of life that allows him to continue to create music while remaining indigenous to the local city. After finishing his daily work, he heads to a long-established listening bar that has been in existence for about 50 years. There, music lovers from all over the world gather. There, he has continued to absorb voices from all over the world, from the East and West, as if he were being bathed in them. Although this work was released about 24 years ago, it has advanced arrangements and universal poetry influenced by reggae and Brazilian music, which resonate with his own indigenous nature. Remastered individually by the artist himself, this is a work that could easily be included in the latest mpb playlists, with its attention to low-end processing.With its matured world and modern sound technology, this work can now be seen as a “Vaporwave” inspired by his own musical footprints. A musical history of a quantum parallel universe, smoky with steam, emerges here.
