thx Jeff for translation!!
I: So I'd like to ask some things about you. First of all, where did the
name "g200kg" come from?
g: Well, I just kind of came up with it at random, so it doesn't have any
special meaning. But there had been some discussion on a bulletin board
where the term "kuso-gakkyoku" (lit. "shit music") was being shown as "kg,"
so it's possible that that had a subliminal effect on me.
I: It seems like you're reeling into making this so-called "shit music."
Why is that?
g: Because I'm cut out for it... maybe.
I: Maybe because you are shit?
g: ......
I: What's your fascination with shit music?
g: Well, it's never something that will become my main focus, but I keep it
tucked away for certain situations, for example, horror B-movies and such,
or other situations like that which require the smell of shit.
I: What kind of gear are you using to make music?
g: I use CubaseSL for my sequencer and Sampletank 1L as my main sound
generator. I keep it simple.
I: What's CubaseSL? It's not SX? And what's the L? Not XL? It seems like
some kind of step down, but is there a reason?
: Well, what can I say... My WinXP is just Home Edition, and my CPU is a
Celeron...
I: In the world of shit music, there's a clash between those using MP3 and
those using MIDI, but you're in the MP3 camp, right?
g: Yeah. In my situation, I sometimes want to use vocals, so that's the
only reason why. It's like... the rules are different but it still seems
like the same sport.
I: "Different rules but the same sport"?
g: I mean, it's like all-you-can-eat yakiniku versus all-you-can-eat
shabu-shabu...
I: Is that a sport?
I: What's in store in the future for your shit music?
g: I want shit music to grow into a mature genre of its own.
# yes, my gears are already upgraded.
# Sampletank 2XL and Petium4
# even if still using WinXPHome and CubaseSL :-)
