Oct 04, 2010 TOWA TEI has been producing music, releasing albums and tracks, and DJing internationally non-stop. His career as a music producer involves producing music for other artists, sound-making for TV commercials, and movie soundtracks as well. The title of Towa Tei's second solo album, Sound Museum, makes it seem like it's going to be a direct contradiction to his first album titled Future Listening.
