A first CD box set that carried the title "Hypernatural" was released in 1999. The focus of this release, influenced by ancient Asian myth and Sherdlake's logic was the theme of relativity between light and memory and can be seen in close context with the ideas and feelings from his journeys through some Asian countries. The theme of " Hypernatural #2", the sequel of "Hypernatural", is transparent existence. With this work Yoshio Machida has been investigating the relativity and the continuity between phenomena in the area of the unconsciousness and the consciousness: "There isn't whole nature in our consciousness. We can't realize all of the nature. Outside of our consciousness, or in the aera of the unconsciousness, there are many remarkable things. These tracks should give us the chance to reach one of the instinctive areas. "My works are concerned with radiance, echoes and signs suggested by them in landscapes that are entwined with strata of traces (memories). They are also propositions of how we should grasp the natural world, and interpretations of them." The idea behind "Hypernatural" is to feel, enjoy and discover relativity and continuity in this world. In this work the matter is not only listening to the sounds but also feeling something behind the sounds." "Unlike many of these 'investigations' into area sonorities, Hypernatural feels genuinely transportive, opening up massive forest areas or tiny devotional paths when his bird chirps chime with bells and flutes."
