Dream Skills utilizes a simple Euro-rack analog/digital modular set up in order to harness the technique of triggering and sequencing collected natural sounds which have been digitized into WAV samples. Explorations into these WAVs using a variety of sequences producing continual vibrations, which, in theory, could be infinite, provide the listener with an imagined experience of my memories living within our man made and natural world. Wavs are triggered and recorded, then layered with analog synthesizers before being mixed and sent out into the world in an attempt to convey personal expression through sound. I am interested in experimenting with samples in granular form, and find fascinating sounds within the wavs of birds, people, electricity, movement of energy, and radio music. Some synths recorded, some wavs sampled, thousands found.

Guitar player

Born in Tokyo, April 13, 1964.

Akiyama specializes in creating music with elements of both primitivism and realism by connecting his own aspirations, in a minimal and straightforward way, to the special instrumental qualities of the guitar. Sometimes delicately and sometimes boldly, he controls sound volumes ranging from micro to macro, in an attempt to convert the body into an electronic entity.
