Takahara Suiko can make music out of anything! When we say anything, we really meant anything. From daily household utensils to Fried Chicken, you name it. Everything that she touches, turns into a melody.
Her do it yourself approach, from creating a beat on her phone, to transforming it into a orchestrally on Ableton just seemed effortless within her finger tips. The Venopian Solitude is just another fragment of her imagination.
“My earliest memory of music composition was when I was 10 years old. I’d use my father’s monophonic phone back in those days and tinker on the single-note playing tones to create my own tunes,” she recalls, telling me that her mother was adamant that she and her siblings focused on their studies so they weren’t allowed to take up any music lessons.
“My only outlet was that phone,” she says half-wistfully.
It was only after (SPM) that Takahara actually insisted on wanting to play the guitar. Her mother pointed to the old keyboard gifted to her by her father when she was 15 and told her bluntly: “Janganlah main gitar. Keyboard kat rumah tu penuh habuk!” (Don’t play the guitar while your keyboard at home is gathering dust).
“So in retaliation, I stayed up all night and played the keyboard on full volume just to annoy her!” she recollects with another laugh.
“I did buy a guitar later. which I managed to keep from my mother for at least a year!”
If you wanna find out what's stopping fellow music enthusiast from creating and how to overcome creative block, ya'll know what to do. Listen to TAKAHARA SUIKO. You will most definitely learn more than just a thing or two.
