Before arriving to Tokyo, I was very used to having lots of space for lots of noisey projects. I played in many loud bands and enjoyed experimenting with various instruments. I also enjoyed building and modifying cars, but that is also loud and requires space, especially if you are making your own parts. … Continue reading I think I figured out how to play loud music again..
