I’ve never approached music with productivity or efficiency in mind. In fact, I love expressing the unproductive, inefficient “self,” and I love listening to music made by people who seem to feel the same way. That’s probably why I still buy cassettes and records to this day. (1/3)

A little while ago,it was exactly two years since I started using Bluesky. Fortunately,as of today,I’m grateful to have reached 6,000 followers! I am truly honoured and deeply grateful. I will continue to share the music I love,just as I have been doing. Thank you so much as always for your support!

This kind of music is so good

I stumbled upon this self-titled album by an artist named Pale Star on Bandcamp, and since it really caught my ear, I bought it. He produced everything himself, including the album cover, and it’s a kind of immersive music featuring guitar that’s both ephemeral and somehow soothing.

My music is usually very melodic and consonant, but when I’m feeling my most creative, I tend to listen to the most grating, dissonant music I can find haha

Right now, five new projects unlike anything I’ve done before are in the works. I think I’ll be able to announce two of them sometime in July. Since I’m handling everything on my own, things tend to take a little time, but if you're interested, I'd love for you to check them out once they're live.

For me, deep house is a versatile genre that motivates me in almost any situation—whether it’s in the morning or during my relaxation time before bed. But recently, I’ve found it fascinating that the music I actually create is completely different in style. Have you ever had an experience like that?

Got a like from @ureterocele.bsky.social and on a whim, decided to check them out. I don’t regret it. The noisy, dark, intense foreboding of Tube With Contrast medium is a fascinating listen because several tracks in, it turns almost meditative. ureterocele.bandcamp.com/album/tube-w...

I often try to fill the hollow places inside me, but I’ve realized that once I fill one, another appears. So when I feel stuck and unable to move forward, I turn to making music as a way to express myself. And through that,those hollow places begin to feel like something I can live with after all.

Thank you so much, @knifenun.bsky.social !:) I’m truly grateful for the little miracle that my music has found its way to you, and I’m deeply honored that you’ve taken an interest in it. I’ve been inspired by so much music throughout my life, but I honestly feel that this sound belongs only to me!:)

I love polished,high-quality music made in top-notch studios with skilled engineers,but I also genuinely love music born in a small room,created with minimal resources and a lot of ingenuity in order to express someone’s musical identity. I suppose I could call it “low-budget,high-ingenuity music.”

Buddhist mantras, chants and drone frequencies do the same for me.

Music comes in many forms, and so do its creators. In other words, I feel a deep affection for the fact that I can only ever be myself. Listening to meditation music, I felt the “cache” of fatigue clearing away, and found myself wrapped in quiet happiness as these thoughts came to me. Good night.

This is good stuff!

I happened to come across this album in my feed and was drawn to it, so I ended up listening to her other albums all day. It’s avant-garde experimental slowcore that feels like Dantel with an unsettling touch,yet you can still sense the composer’s gentle humanity in the sound. @babykaho1.bsky.social

Since I had a release on a Belgian label, and I’m very interested in the improvised music culture of the Netherlands—especially around the ICP—as well as Germany’s krautrock culture, I started thinking about taking a trip to Western Europe in two or three years to explore experimental music :)

I’m actually quite fond of “Japanese as a visual symbol” in vaporwave — an online aesthetic rooted in nostalgia for consumer culture — and in similar aesthetics. I just came across this album, and I really like its use of Japanese text and its musical sensibility, so I had to share it.

I initially commented on this, but I feel it deserves a share it’s so nicely said.

Sometimes effects have so much motion that playing a note is only the beginning of a sequence. Like, there is a note on guitar, then a delay turns it into a series of echoes, and each echo is processed with long-duration reverbs.

In Japan, there is an art form called suminagashi, where ink is dropped onto water to create a one-of-a-kind pattern that can never be replicated. I see my bass playing and my music in much the same way. I want to keep returning to that feeling,even though I’ll never encounter it the same way twice.

After spending all night fixing my broken Panasonic Shockwave, it’s finally back in working order, so I’m going to pop in a mixtape I made this morning and head out for a walk. I’ll be using my over-ear headphones to enhance the immersive experience as I embark on a 30-minute magnetic journey.

Deep relaxation music inspired by the shoreline has become my recent morning favorite. Here in the heart of Tokyo—often likened to a concrete jungle—I’m sipping decaf coffee while taking in the scent of the ocean and planning out my day. Swimming through today’s cloudy sky would probably be cold.

#Ureterocele #TubeWithContrastMedium (2025). examinations. tests. surgical procedures. dormant grey cells ignited in the anatomical off-road. resultant effects vary, possibly enabling an opening, one unseen prior. the infusion and expressive travels thereof. stilll-off.bandcamp.com/album/tube-w...

Even though the world inside my head is so vast,I realize that with what I’m capable of,I can only bring about 5% of it into reality or act on about that much. But even that drifts gradually into my expression,as freely as the wind. If I were to include the other 95%,it would be too heavy to carry.

I think that while being so absorbed in something that you forget to eat or sleep might seem exhausting to others, the person actually doing it often doesn’t feel that way at all. For me, music is exactly that kind of thing. For some people, it might be running a business or volunteering.

It’s been 6 months since I started my Patreon,and the “noindex” tag has finally been removed from my page, making it visible to Google. This is all thanks to everyone who has joined as a member. Arigatou! I’m reposting the very first blog post I wrote. I’ll continue writing articles about my music:)

Since 2022, I’ve been hooked on "weird music", which has helped me solidify the foundation of Ureterocele’s sound. I absolutely love eerie music and aesthetics like liminal space and dreamcore, and you can clearly hear their influence in my music. Please share the weird music you love!

There’s always such warmth in your writing. Community, however small, is important, to feel a part of something. Language brings us together as does music both physically and mentally. I look forward to hearing more 😎

I wrote about my new direction in music,as a continuation of my previous article. If you’re interested,I’d be very grateful if you took a look. - A New Direction for My Music - Why English Matters to Me Now - Learning to Listen First - Moving Beyond Anonymity - Making A Community Rooted in Gratitude

Actually, I’m really into Dutch music right now, and I listen to it every day. I especially love avant-garde jazz artists like Misha Mengelberg and Guus Janssen, and I’m totally into Roel Meelkop’s sound art. I’ll write a post about it on Patreon soon. I picked one recommendation from this list :)

Thank you for sharing, @midazo.bsky.social !:) My apologies for taking so long to notice that you had shared it. It truly means a lot to me, and I’m so glad if you enjoyed it!:)

Thank you for sharing, @florgoth.bsky.social my friend!:) I’m truly happy to be featured like this. This is still one of my favorite albums, one I’m still discovering new things in even now, so I hope you enjoy it too!:)

It's high time I get this before I forget about it again. @ureterocele.bsky.social is not only a brilliant artist, he is also one of my oldest friends on this site. So far he has given me free codes for both of his albums; the least I can do is pick up his latest one from his label. ❤️

I wrote about how finding a sense of social purpose within myself has helped me change my life. - Why I Took a Two-Week Break from Posting - The Social Purpose Behind My Digital Detox - Why I Deleted Japan’s Most Popular Messaging App - My Complicated Relationship with Alcohol - A New Music Activity

It’s been about 2 weeks since my last post. I’ve been working on a new track that might be part of my upcoming album. I’m trying to decide whether to release it as a single or an EP. Also, I actually have a lot to share about what’s happened over the past 2 weeks, so I’ll write more on Patreon soon!

Now it's 9:00 a.m. in Tokyo. I'm writing this while watching Little Simz's show at Coachella on YouTube. They are so cool. Yesterday I watched David Byrne's performance,and it was also great. But I always love going to small stages when I’m at festivals. The Sonora and Quasar stages are so exciting.

Recently, I usually listen to the music I've already been listening to, so I haven't been able to discover new music. Any artists, any genre, anything is welcome. What kind of music are you listening to nowadays? Please share the opportunity to experience new music with me! :)

In Japan,we usually clean our homes at the end of the year,but I think I'll try spring cleaning for the first time today. I love cleaning because it clears my head and gives me a fresh inspiration for music. I'll put deep house in my room as background music,with beautiful sakura through the window.

My second album is available again on my Bandcamp page because the 6-week exclusive release by Off ended. You can purchase the release on my page in JPY, and on the label page with a bonus track in EUR. So I hope you can choose whichever you want if you're interested in my music!:)

I wrote about the tattoos I got and the many things connected to them. - Introducing the Tattoos on My Arm - Tattoos in Japan - The Connection Between My Values and Tattoos - Why I Chose to Get Tattooed? - What I Regretted About My First Tattoo - The Best Tattoo Studio in Tokyo, in My Opinion

I started thinking about making videos of my DJing through experimental music. I think it might be more enjoyable if I can use my followers' music in those videos, because it might help convey their music to more people. I just want to make videos where I can recommend music that I like.

This is my first English post that I wrote without a translator. I'm listening and watching English clips on YouTube, checking the words I didn't know and putting them on(or into?) a flashcard app. This reminds me as(or of?) I picked some bass lines up from music by my ears(ear?), without scores.

There are things I can only learn through failure,regret,pain,or illness. Over the past few days,I’ve truly realized how grateful I am to be able to listen to the music I love and make music. It’s felt like an update for both my mind and body. And to everyone I’ve been slow to reply to,I’m sorry!

I wrote a bit about what’s been on my mind lately. - A musician I happened to meet at a music bar - How limited my English still is - I’m not good at face-to-face communication - My own community - Thinking about starting a label? - Maybe I’ll start working under my real name and showing my face?

I really love the concept of “circulation” when it comes to people. I buy clothes from companies that recycle and collect items I no longer wear, and I've indicated my wish to be an organ donor. And I love music, the way I can absorb inspiration and give it back to others through my own expression.

Actually,I’m currently planning to host a Ureterocele live stream using Bandcamp’s Live feature. I’m still deciding whether it will be broadcast live or presented as a pre-recorded stream,and whether an archive will be made available,but if you’re interested,I’d be delighted if you could join me!:)

A generous offer. Exploring both works sounds like a compelling journey.
