How long have you been playing?

I have played Ingress since December 2014

What inspired you to submit your piece to the contest?

I hope to explain my mind as Ingress Glyphs.

I often listen the music like Lo-Fi Hip Hop in Covid19 era, so I want to make the music including that flavor.

Is there anything about your media you want people to know?

My media is the music based on Ingress Glyphs, which I call Glyph Music. It’s my life work as Ingress Agent.

Explaining the piece’s title, Lo-Fi is not low fidelity but faithful, chilled out and just peaceful.

Is there a website where people can see your media?

I will update it to my SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/user-516270392

also the details to my Glyph Music site: www.astrolabel.net/GlyphMusic

sound file is downloadable.

Are there any details you would like to share about your craft? (example, do you use a specific editing program, how do you come up with ideas?)

I usually study and compose the experimental musics i.e. electroacoustic music, concrete music, acousmatic music and algorithmic music .

My Glyph Music is a kind of algorithmic music.

They are shaped by glyph shapes.

Do you plan to make swag from the thumbnail image?

Now I have no plan, however I make the movie. I may update it until Virtual IFS.

Is it ok if agents use the thumbnail image in their Virtual IFS Group photos?

It’s okay, feel free to use image and sound.
