Edge of Chaos

ABOUT

"Chaos", in the terms of "Edge of Chaos", does not means the state of confusion.
It means indefinitness.
"Edge of Chaos" is the moment of the appearance of order in "Chaos".
As it were, two poles coexist in one state.
For example, written musical phrases and improvised ones.

"Edge of Chaos", the musical project starts in 2000, runs through knd-1's intention.

knd-1 was born in one small town of west Japan.
He moved to Tokyo at 1992, and keep activity there now.

He was interested in some film music at the age of 12.
John Williams's "Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back" is most interesting for him.
Similarly also the other SF or Action films' themes (mainly symphonic arranged sound) fascinate him.

At 14 years old, he got a opportunity to know The Beatles.
Their strong melodies got him deeply.
Then he was absorbed in rock (mainly of UK).
It were not only ones of those days, but also of '70s (David Bowie, John Lennon).
The sound of The Beatles decided him to play the guitar.
So he took the guitar at the age of 15.
And he began to play the songs of The Beatles with his friends.

From when he went to university, his interest got to spread rapidly.
It was from rock all over the era to blues, jazz, afro beat, arabic, latin, indian and so on.
At that time, he has played blues with his band.
His style of playing the guitar was of blues absolutely.
But one day he had noticed the problems of his playing, and then broke up the band.

He has re-practiced the guitar from the foundation making some great virtuoso into models.
Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, JINMO, Eric Johnson, Kiko Loureiro.
This is going on now.
