About this user

UGAYA's bass play is hallmarked by its colorfully layered ambient sounds which are all generated from electric bass guitar. His 25 year exploration and experiment of electric bass guitar has brought the unique play style, often recognized by its synthesizer-like continuous sound and harmonies which are supposed to be technically impossible to create with bass guitar.

As a bass player, usually a rhythm section member in a traditional rock/ funk/ blues / jazz band format, UGAYA has been exploring the idea of rhythm until finally he reached the point to create both "sounds" and "spaces between sounds" by bass guitar.

The space which are devided by sounds naturally generates rhythm: UGAYA found the discovery highly familiar to one of his mother culture, traditional Japanese art, such as not only Japanese traditional music but also poetry -Haiku and Waka - and architechture.

"It is a strange delight. After I have shopped around Western pop music styles for 25 years and what I found feel-good was very close to my mother culture, which is not always familiar to me in daily westernized life style." UGAYA says.

His solo performance are usually done in duo, his ambient sound plus guest lead player, such as Chinese violin, electric trumpet and so on. Recorings are all live and no dubbing added.

Enjoy!
