as a part of the music seminar tokyo '95 being held at laforet musuem
in harajuku this weekend, most of the big name tokyo club-music creators
will be participating in an open question and answer session for a few
hours saturday evening. ufo's yabe-san decided to take the question and
answer thing worldwide and have a irc session open the whole time,
allowing _you_, anybody, to interview ufo, krush, mondo grosso, monday
michiru, kyoto jazz massive...
i just got back to tokyo from a month in the himalayas, with less than
a week 'till the seminar--would have liked to have had a little more
notice!
i'll start the irc session saturday 9/2 16:00 tokyo time, which is
saturday 9/2 5:00 (am) california time
saturday 9/2 2:00 (am) new york time.
i'll open a channel called "tokyo_music_seminar", or "tokyo".
PLEASE everybody come by and say hi!
here's the schedule for the day: (tokyo time)

let's get together and talk about what brought tokyo from an almost non-
existant copy-cat scene 10 years ago to actually having an original
and fresh output of ideas and sounds. what did they do right, what do we
do now?
see you saturday.
