"Mushi" is translated from Japanese most directly as "bug" or "insect." However, in a Japanese story mushi are creatures more basic than the simplest organisms. Think of an arm...humans are the fingertips, plants the palms, and paramecium the forearms. Mushi exist somewhere up beyond the shoulder, in the heart or the mind. They represent the essence of existence and consist of life energy itself.
I release music as Mushi Music because I try to go back to the basics of songwriting and sonic image. I wish to shape my sounds in ways to express different ideas more distinctly and am working on learning/developing new techniques to do so.
I have several years of experience writing songs and performing as a rock guitarist and vocalist. I have many years experience playing piano (about 8) but many venues are less than piano friendly, so I have less performance experience with that instrument. Finally, I do all my production myself on my computer. I would love to collaborate with other musicians and technicians in the hopes of making something immensely awesome.
A drug chemist by day, I am a cut chemist by night. I hope you find something to enjoy and ponder during your stay.
Sat nam,
Sam a.k.a. Mushi
