自作の電子楽器"リボンコントローラ"、"TAO"、そしてパーカッションによるトリオです。
Live at Todoroki Tokyo on June 22th, 2008.
This song is Harumi Miyako's hit song in middle of 60's in Japan. Composed by Syousuke Ichikawa.
Onoue plays handmade ribbon controller.
It can change a oscillator pitch smoothly, depending on the place which you press down. It was originally made as a kind of MOOG SYNTHESIZER's controller in late 60's. I made this following its example. And playing style is self-taught.

"TAO" is Motohashi's original electric musical instruments. It also has ribbon type touch sensor which determines pitch by left hand fingers. And it has some switches on the right hand side. It determine the timing of note generation.
