\"SoloThe first Solo Orchestra was performed in 1979, and broadcasted by NHK(Japanese national television) , also captured by Newspapers. During the performance “Galactic Symphony<\/a>(804)<\/span>” \u00a0was gained high reputation among \u00a0various pieces, later the music was released worldwide from Belgium. \u00a0Solo orchestra was called “One -man Orchestra” at the time. \u00a0My dear friend, Jill Bain who lived in London named this performance, “Solo Orchestra” \u00a0that only one person is able to play 100-member-orchestra with using computer to control more than 1000 different timbre and create magnificent sounds for symphonies, operas as well as various kinds of music. This is not only for recording purpose but also performing “Solo Orchestra” concerts attract good reviews. It is very unfortunate that there is a possibility that any work can be ruined depending on its performance, Hiro’s work was not exception, he had very regrettable experiences and that determined him to create ideal sounds that satisfies himself. A lot of past composers are often reassessed after many years from their death, we ‘ll never know how they were devastated by bad reputation at the period. The idea of “Solo Orchestra” is based on the composer’s thoughts that he eager to bring ideal presentation to the audience directly!<\/p>\n
