Tracks 1-12: 1963, incidental music for NHK Radio, based on Andre Breton's "Nadja". "The actual chart of constellations was played by three players (violin, piano, vibraphone) which was supposed as the music score. And birds' voices, electronic sound, sound generated from inside piano, through music concrete technique and constructed at the NHK Electronic Music Studio." Tracks 13-15: 1972, "music for the unveiling ceremony of a cenotaph for the industrial victims which was set in the woods of Tama hills suburb of Tokyo. The music consists of: A) echoed "wooden bells" in the woods, made from lowered marimba modulated by square wave. B) various metamorphosed sounds reminding industrial works, for the offering flowers by the attendants. C) again, reverberant sound of the wooden bells for the retiring attendants from the ceremony." Track 16: 1975, "this composition, music concrete work was made prepared for the Oceanic Expo in Okinawa prefecture in 1975. Folk music with an indigenous string instrument (jamisen), voices of various sea birds, engine sound of a boat, metamorphosed instrumental sound which would remind wind and waves of the sea and chamber orchestral music are combined and constructed. An Italian folk song "To the Sea" is arranged for chamber orchestra and recorded by the composer as important sound source of this music concrete work, which should be listened as if a recurrent, dear old tune being swayed on the wind coming out of one's rememberance."
