ADAADAT artists

Apart from his brief spell in South American politics, little is known about Utabi Hirokawa; he prefers to let his music speak for him, explaining the high presence of electronically synthesised burps, farts, groans, gurgles and swearwords mixed in with the future disco, 8-bit drum breakdowns, all-natural melodies and FM synthesis conjuring tricks on his forthcoming ADAADAT album.

artist : Utabi

Tokyo FM synthesis wizard UTABI HIROKAWA creates video game inspired music with his old SHARP X68000 computer.

"Japan's Utabi Hirokawa communicates in an extremely subtle fashion, and it all sounds refreshingly honest because what he has created here are songs. That’s a rare occurrence in this field, and one that should be held as an example, because there is meaning here that is absent from the work of 90% of his peers." Logo Magazine
