.I arrange European Renaissance & Baroque period music for Chapman Stick
. 
My name is Yasuo Asakura. I play the stick in Yokohama, Japan.
It is after it watches a performance of Mr. Tony Levin on a video of
"the King Crimson Tokyo live broadcasting" that I wanted to play a stick.
The feeling that watched aurora and a solar eclipse at the same time if
I compared a shock at that time! It was the case that was shocking in my
life. I went in a musical instruments store on the next day and purchased
a stick. At the time of 1990 when I had a musical instrument in my hand,
there was not the person who could tell Japan the stick. The acquisition of
the how to play of the musical instrument watched the teaching rule video
which was on when I purchased it and I read a manual and practiced it.
I arrange European old music (music of the Renaissance period and music
of the baroque period) for sticks and I am enough and I arrange standard
of the jazz for sticks and play it in solo now.
It is my other music activity, but participates in the band with a base,
a keyboard, an electric guitar, a sax (tenor & alto), a drum. In addition, 
I play the musical instrument of the lute group in solo and continuous bass.
It may be a musical instrument of the collected studies for me there is it in
the stick, and to think! Good point of the musical instrument which I play
in the past and now and all the performance technologies seem to be condensed. The combination of the right hand and the left hand is a drum
and a keyboard. How to get melody lines of the right hand is guitar, sax &
keyboard! How to get bus progress of the left hand is a base, a keyboard,
a lute!
The musical instrument which I use now is 10 string sticks of the old type.
Tuning is Standard tuning. The effects unit of the guitar part uses GT-100
of BOSS mainly, and the effects unit of the base part uses GFX-8 of ZOOM.
In the band where I add a guitar synthesizer module to effector mentioned 
above, and I participate in on the basis of the present, I examine the use of
the stick now.
I invite musical instrument me who I am solo and the miracle which I hid infinite possibility in by ensemble to the fantasic world.
