OSAMU SATO Osamu Sato
Born in Kyoto, both his father and grandfather were photographers. He spent his childhood in an environment where the adults around him were all involved in the arts, and during his student days he studied design and photographic engineering at two universities. He spent 8 years as a student at two schools, as a ronin, in the United States, and by repeating a grade. During that time, in addition to his photography and design work, he became interested in electronic music, and using synthesizers and tapes, he created a variety of experimental and environmental music, which he presented at live performances. Music from that time was also used as the background music and theme song for NHK programs. Also released a cassette + silk screen work from EP-4's Kaoru Sato's independent label. In 1991, he exhibited his first computer graphics work, ``Alphabetical Orgasm,'' and was interviewed by many domestic and international press, and has continued to exhibit his work ever since. In addition, he has been involved in many works as a multimedia production, and debuted with the PC game "East Brain" from Sony Music and the American title "EASTERN MIND" from Sony in the United States. Other music CDs such as ``EQUAL'' were released by Sony in Japan and Europe. After that, Asmik Ace released ``LSD/Dream Emulator'' for PlayStation, which is still famous as a cult classic. This work is still supported by fans all over the world 30 years later. In recent years, music albums ``ALL THINGS MUST BE EQUAL'', ``OBJECTLESS'', and ``LSD REVAMPED'' have been released in analog form not only in Japan but also overseas. For overseas sales only, the work ``AMBIENT GROOVES'' will be released by the prestigious European mental groove music paradance in a full lineup of analog, CD, and cassette versions. In recent years, ``GRATEFUL ALLTHINGS'' and ``TRANSFORMED COLLECTION'' have been released as CDs from his own label Philosophy Recordings (Linen Records), and analog versions have been released as two-disc sets each from DISK UNION.
In the field of art, at the 2017 solo exhibition "ALL THINGS MUST BE EQUAL" (B GALLERY), he unified all data, edited and remixed it on a computer, and presented a work that was a precursor to his current abstract photographic work. . At the same time, a collection of works with the same title and a music album ``ALL THINGS MUST BE EQUAL'' were released.
