I love music, many kind of music, music from everywhere. While unlike many japanophile I am not a fan of the J-Pop scene, I appreciate many artists from the Japans. Even if I love music in general I must say that my real love is for experimental music and through years I saw many internationally renown experimental musicians from Japan, musicians that might well be unknown in their own country such as 非常階段 or 灰野 敬二...
This brings me to the question:
ねじ回しかネジマワシか?
I am currently working on an experimental music project made of live treatment of synthesizers with max/msp. I developed the max patcher for about 2 years and decided to name it "nejimawashi". From the name of the patcher comes the name of the project, but if nejimawashi already sounds Japanese, I would like to amplify the "Japan twist" by writing the name in kana. The dilemma comes from the fact that while the patcher is named after the tool, it is not a screwdriver. Would it be more suitable to use katakana as I am "Americanizing" a Japanese word? Would it make sense?
I don't know! And since I will soon be able to print a CD, I want to see what you Japanese think.
Please help me decide what is best. Also feel free to tell me I am a pretentious gaikokujin if that is what you think, I was ready for that when I decided to study Japan culture
