music for photography + I.W.Y.
||| news


gallery traxでの展示期間中にだけ限定50枚でmix CD-Rを販売させていただきます。内容は39分で、自分の過去の音(2004年にYCAMで滞在中に作った音とか) に新しい音を混ぜたり、ちょっとユルめの構成にしてみました。盤面デザインが5種類あって、どれが当たるかはお楽しみ。ちなみにどれもめっちゃええ感じです。限定の絵はがきセットも作りました。どれも気に入ってます。T-shirtは残念ながら11月4日のオープンには間に合わなくて、11月12日のパーティーの日から発売させていただきます。デザインをお手伝いいただいた水谷 匡克さんに感謝します。

A limited release of 50 copies of mix CD-R will be available at gallery trax during my photo exhibition. I used some samples of my works from YCAM project in 2004, mixing my new sounds to make slow and smooth groove for 39 mins length mix. There are 5 different disc designs and you don't know which one you're gonna get. We also have limited post cards too. and We're planning to release three new photo T-shirts which will be available from 12th of November at this gallery. I'd like to say thanks to Mizutani Masakatsu-san for all these designs.

Monad IX on Stroboscopic Artefacts
||| releases
written and produced by AOKI takamasa
voice sample: Tujiko Noriko
mastering @ Artefacts Mastering, Berlin
graphic concept by Marco Morici

Stroboscopic Artefacts gave me a chance to release on their "Monad series" with digital download on 25th of August 2011. Please check if you're interested. I hope you enjoy. massive thanks to SA and tujiko noriko for her beautiful voice as always.
2011年8月25日にStroboscopic Artefactsより、デジタルダウンロードで"Monad IX"をリリースさせていただく事になりました。ご興味あられましたら、是非チェックしてみてください。楽しんでもらえますように。SAと今回もその美しい声を使わせてくれたツジコノリコに感謝します。
Press Release ---------------------------------------
Stroboscopic Artefacts presents the Monad series. Rarefied and introspective, confrontational and extreme, each featured artist will delve into the Monad concept:
"The generation of number series is related to objects of geometry as well as cosmogony. From the Monad evolved the Dyad; from it numbers; from numbers, points; then lines, two-dimensional entities, three-dimensional entities, bodies, culminating in the four ele - ments earth, water, fire and air, from which the rest of our world is built up."
AOKI takamasa's Monad IX is a stark example of exploring the periphery of contemporary electronic music and yet impressing an artisitc identity upon these fringes. An anonymous voice on 'mnd-sng-01' blurts 'shake everything', and this is his point. Shake not just yourself on the dance floor, but shake your notions of artistic processes. The tracks draw attention to themselves as constructions, they're not titled but serial numbered from 'mnd-sng-01' right through to 'mnd-sng-04'.
