Kenta Araki is a unique composer who uses only the MSX-BASIC
machine marketed for home computing in the 1980s. His first album of
8bit sounds, MSX TYPHOON(2005) represents game-BGM like inimitable
taste depending on tone colours and music composition characterised by
programming restrictions. Araki's background is not academic, neither is it
the DJ culture. The origin of his music is close to roots music. His works
are good examples of the fact that the computer can become a kind of
musical instrument.
