He was introduced to making techno music by advice of his older brother
Jin Hiyama in 1994. With inspirations like the Artificial Intelligence series on Warp Records, YMO and Kraftwerk, he started making music in 1995 and soon became interested in minimal music of artists like Jeff Mills, Fumiya Tanaka, Subvoice and others. He started to DJ and do live performances in 1997. His thinking for minimalism isn't confined to music, he concentrated on architecture alike. Being further inspired by Bauhaus, Mies van der Rohe, Jacques Herzog & Pierre de Meuron his tracks consist of various ideas from different genres (Techno, Electronica, Dub, Rock...).
