Tetsu started out early as a frequent collaborator on FAX label projects.
FAX is/was a legendary "collectors label" for ambient/trance, they issued
a new CD every week in an edition of 500.  most of these were live-in-the
studio collaborations between subgroups of Tetsu, Peter
"Namlook" Kuhlmann, Uwe "Atom Heart" Schmidt and *many* others so it's
impossible to track how many projects T. was involved in, unless you make
a career out of it.

His earliest projects (from 92/93) were trance, for instance he
collaborated on the Sequential project which is maybe one of the best
(and first) of hundreds of FAX cd's. also he had a solo "Om: Instant
Enlightenment" in the same style, which maybe preceded all his
work on FAX.
