Solar Ray
SOLAR RAY Hirasawa best recycling album Recycled by P-MODEL kernel is a 2001 remix album by Susumu Hirasawa. The recycling concept is present in the album in various ways. It reuses old Susumu Hirasawa songs from previous albums, remixes them in the reutilised energetic Synthpop feel (or kernel) of P-MODEL mixed with Hirasawa's Symphonic Electronica style. The album is part of the "Hirasawa Energy Works" project, where Hirasawa would produce music using renewable energy sources; the recording studio was powered by solar power, a renewable energy source and the title can refer to either the method Hirasawa used to power his studio or it reutilises the name of a song from Hirasawa's debut, whose remix opens this album. The solar power was gathered with fans and production started July 2, 2001. In August 15, Hirasawa released free MP3 samples of the "Solar Ray" and "Philosopher's Propeller-1" remixes; in September 15, he released more samples, this time from the "Aurora", "Gemini" and "Virtual Rabbit" remixes. The cover art is designed to be featureless when seen under the naked eye, but would show detail when held to sunlight. In November 11, Hirasawa performed the "Hirasawa Energy Works - Solar Live LIVE SOLAR RAY" show at the Tsukuba Science City Garden; it was an open air concert and Hirasawa's equipment was powered by natural energy; the show was released as LIVE SOLAR RAY in September 24, 2002 on DVD and in VHS on November 10.

Famous quotes containing the words solar and/or ray:
“The solar system has no anxiety about its reputation, and the credit of truth and honesty is as safe; nor have I any fear that a skeptical bias can be given by leaning hard on the sides of fate, of practical power, or of trade, which the doctrine of Faith cannot down-weigh.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Colleges, in like manner, have their indispensable office,—to teach elements. But they can only highly serve us, when they aim not to drill, but to create; when they gather from far every ray of various genius to their hospitable halls, and, by the concentrated fires, set the hearts of their youth on flame.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
