Takashi Mori

From his website: Takashi Mori is a Japanese drummer, sound engineer, music creator, from Kyoto. His first influence of music is the soundtrack by French composer, Paul Mauriat. The second is an album “Technodelic” by YMO. As for drummer, he was really inspired by the style of Stewart Copeland (The Police), and he decided to start playing drum in early teens. In late his teens, Takashi Mori has started to play drum as professional in live session or recording session with various type of musicians. At the same time, he was also interested in rhythm track making with digital equipment, and he has begun work of musical production as well with his elder brother Takuma Mori (composer, arranger, singer, organist). Because his generation is in transition of technology (from analog to digital) it was natural for him to cope with the both, playing drum and manipulating digital equipments. In 1990, he moved his base from Kyoto to Shiga prefecture, and he has established a musical studio “studio BOSCO” where the place commanding a distant great view of Lake Biwa and Mt. Hira, Takashi Mori has started his career as recording engineer not as drummer or programer. Since then, his musical activities develop in various ways. In recent years, Takashi Mori has started solo performance “druminism” with hybrid electric drum-set named DrLPS (using trigger, loop sampler, groove machine etc..).
