Producer, Engineer
TAISHIN INOUE (SONIC TEST)
I am a producer and audio engineer. Since 2001, I have been producing tracks of various genres such as ambient, breaks, electronica, IDM, and techno under different aliases. In addition to live performances using hardware, I also DJ and incorporate my own produced material into my sets.
I operate the music production studio "SONIC TEST" in Tokyo. I have a reputation for meticulous sound production that responds flexibly to client requests while understanding the intention of the works.
Services offered at SONIC TEST include:
- Music composition
- Arrangement
- Recording
- Mixing
- Mastering
- Sound design for visuals
- Game sound design
- Public address operation
In addition to these tasks, at SONIC TEST, I conduct personalized, reservation-based lessons aimed at helping individuals quickly grasp the essence of music production. Many music creators have been nurtured through these lessons.
I also explore the physics of sound as an audiophile, creating and selling custom cables, building speakers, repairing and customizing equipment, and adjusting room acoustics. I strive to solve technical problems faced by music spaces and musicians.
Furthermore, I have created paper speakers called 'OTOKAMI' and publish a ZINE called 'Otokami Diary'. Under the name OTOKAMI PRODUCERS, I explore the potential of combining sound and paper as mediums and conduct workshops and installations.
