10. You Are Honest (piano part) (1982)
All piano improvisations by Yamaoka Yasuhiro.
This is the collection of my piano improvisations that have been recorded in 1982 and 1984. I recorded more piano plays, but most of them have gone somewhere I cannot find. All the time, I used to play the piano with less idea, or with no idea. I would love to play it arbitrary though I do not have any better skill. I think I cannot play piano like these recordings any more. I was always a bad piano learner, and I am still worse.
MSX Play
11. Comperc (1985, revised in 1999)
12. Antenna (1984)
13. Pulsation (1984)
All MSX programmings by Yamaoka Yasuhiro.
These three monotonous compostions are programmed for MSX computer. Comperc was originally with a bassline that discarded in 1999. Antenna and Pulsation is inspired by the weird pulse sound from my hand-made airwaves receiver. Especially, Pulsation is very close to what I heard from it.
DX Play
14. Trial two (1986)
15. Trial four (1986)
16. Trial five (1986)
All DX21 improvisations by Yamaoka Yasuhiro.
Just after I had got Yamaha DX21 synthesizer, I began to dub two or three improvisations on to a compact cassette tape, almost having no idea, as I always did. Here are some of the survived results since some of my trial over dubbed improvisations have lost forever.
Remastered and edited in February 2009 and November 2012.

Yamaoka Yasuhiro VaiNarQ (music for poetry reading)
01. VaiNarQ (music for poetry reading)
02. Ceremony Study
03. Pilgrimage
extra. Scriptures
VaiNarQ (music for poetry reading) was originally composed as background music for reading VaiNarQ Gyorkto 69: poetry by Ukai Rope/Hisaka Yogo. (these two names are used for the poet. both the new name and the old one.) in December 2005, he asked me how to record his readings with background music into a personal computer, possibly, with new original music. in March 2006, he brought me his rehearsal recording of poetry readings with his pianist friend playing background drone "cosmic" organ sounds. the duration of this recording is over 38 minutes. VaiNarQ (music for poetry reading) is composed from the images of this rehearsal recording. I dubbed his alternative poetry reading over this new original music.

These 10 files were created originally for an untitled album in 2004. The first plan was including 19 files: 00:30/01:00/01:30/02:00/02:30/03:30/04:00/04:30/05:00/05:30/06:00/06:30/07:00/07:30/08:00/08:30/09:00/09:30/10:00.
The total duration was 95:30, but this was too long to write on to one cd-r. So, I decided to delete the last 2 files: 9:30 & 10:00. This gets it down to 75:30.
The project began in late february 2004. I made trial files, but they suddenly disappeared for the operation system software crashing. The computer needed re-installing it.
When re-started working on this plan, I almost lost my motivation to keep this going on. So, the unfinished album stopped at 27:00, with 2 trial versions for 00:30 and the lost 01:00.

transfer (1999-2000)
11. transferevb
12. transfer
transfer originally created for pole.ep, December 1999. I made another file browse it! from working file of transfer, and this has become track2 of pole.ep.
Later, in August 2000, I made transferevb as a part of macro/run. transfer+ is the mixture of transfer and transferevb

macro/run had to be organized to the one single piece.
The work had been done from November 1999 to August 2000. But, many files were destroyed for some hard drive problems, and I could not rescue them. What only I have now are very small parts and fragments of trial mixes.

telestep (2002)

created by Yamaoka Yasuhiro December/2002.
1000FM (2000)
24. a
25. a+b
26. b
1000FM is not a proper title for this project. These pieces should be continued as; a, a+b, b, b+c, c, c+d, d, etc. And these pieces should be merged as one long composition.
I don't remember why this project had been terminated. That's why it took very longer time to realize the idea than I expected, I guess...
