about
octave laboratory
this site has established on february 6th, 2006 as a place for the work and the information sending of masuwo suzuki.
OCTAVE derives from the music term "8 notes, beginning and ending ( both ends ) on the same letter name; double the frequency of vibration, etc", and the name also comes from Italian for 8.
So, the abbreviation is 8(=octave) lab.
The figure 8 has good representation to return to the letter name and the tone again.
When "8" is laid, it looks like "∞ (infinity)" .
A lot of various things are intertwined, spinning, circulating to the spiral.
Exactly, here is a LABORATORY.
" i think the OCTAVE LABORATORY as a place of the activity and the information sending,that comes from relations with not only i but also the person.
my own theme is express ideas or feelings. whether intangible or tangible, i would like to express." [ Masuwo ]
