Hiromi Watanabe's “Bau” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 1988, category Computer Animation.
The present work was inspired by its background music that gives an abstract impression of personal feelings. The music - which is computer generated - was composed by Makoto Kobayashi, a personal friend of Hiromi Watanabe.
