Bergbahn

Bergbahn

Akira Yamamichi graduated from the Institute of Sound Technology in Tokyo. At the suggestion of Ryoji Ikeda, he started producing music in 1995, and joined Ikeda's "Statics" CD-compilation under his real name.

As a musician and producer, Akira follows a transformational approach to composition. He dissects and analyses ideas and tracks into elements by first writing them as a score. According to the concept, he then shuffles, mixes and rearranges these elements, before actually playing the piece.

Many of Akira's concepts and ideas are derived from mathematics, game theory, language game, architecture & architectural acoustics; he quotes semiology, anthropology, phenomenology, and even thought experiments from novels by J. G. Ballard and Philip K. Dick. Alongside his "Montage" alias, Akira Yamamichi is founder of the "Electroacoustic Jazz Trio." Bergbahn is his click house and electronica solo unit.
