"This original cassette tape was released only a few copies on Kawabata's R.E.P. (Revolutionary Extrication Project) in 1982, then re-issued on a 12 CDR box set entitled “Kawabata Makoto Early Works 1978-1983 : Learning From The Past - R.E.P. Reissue Series Vol.2” in 2012.

This is one of my “wannabe contemporary composition” works in my teens, performed on synthesizer using mainly electronic tones. Having been shown the light by Stockhausen, I developed a yearning for contemporary classical music, and that impulse lay behind my creation of these solo pieces. Early on, from 1978, I had already created some solo electronic pieces for synthesizer, but those early pieces foregrounded musicality. In a more strictly rock-based approach. In these later pieces, however, the concept became more important as I groped for tunes and vibrations that could have a direct, drug-like effect on the brain and consciousness."
