Commentary

I heard through Sublime records that the A&R (or the owner?) of Crue-l records liked Captain Funk’s debut album “Encounter with” and contacted them. While I hadn’t heard the music of Museum of Plate (Saiko Tsukamoto) yet, I was fascinated by the compositions featuring her sophisticated, exquisite piano performances. The concept I came up with for the remix was to create something almost like a sequel of “Encounter” with her piano sounds while keeping that sophistication carefully.
