Title:	Micoplazma
Label:	DIGITAL NARCIS (JAPAN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	DNCD 004

"Micoplazma contains some of the densest music that I've created. It uses a vast range of sound sources, including computer manipulated sounds, field recordings, bioelectrical activity from plants, and vocal and instrumental sounds. I tried to let the organic qualities of these sounds remain evident, while nevertheless building up some very dense textures. Ultimately, the pieces reflect my relationship with nature, while living in a stressful urban environment." -- M. Prime.

Title:	Blue Cubism: Transcoded Audio Structures
Label:	DIGITAL NARCIS (JAPAN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	DNCD 007

"Two years in the making, Blue Cubism: Transcoded Audio Structures is a who's who of contemporary electronic music composers. These composers represent the cutting edge of the 'glitch' movement, and their work is a testament to the unique (mis)application of new software synthesis tools. Many of these artists work with minimal computer systems and make use of shareware programs created by music technology students. All the source material for these pieces was taken from the CD Bluecube by Kim Cascone, which was released on Rastermusic in 1998. These treatments contain a variety of DSP signal obliteration techniques; from the layered granulated textures of Terre Thaemlitz and Mego artist Pita's signature number crunching fury, to the somer organic entropy of V/VM, the work here is a top notch introduction to the post-digital genre of music known as 'glitch'. Join the 21st century, be a part of the future." Features: Terre Thaemlitz, Toru Yamanaka (Dumb Type) & Koji Marutani, Pita, *O, Robert Henke, Kim Cascone, V/VM, Tetsu Inoue, Taylor Deupree, Nobukazu Takemura, Quest, John Hudak, Bochum Welt.

Title:	The Opening of the Field
Label:	DIGITAL NARCIS (JAPAN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$16.00
Catalog #:	DNCD 008

"The Opening of the Field presents a series of live studio improvisations that move quietly through the intimate surfaces of objects to the fragmented landscapes of field recordings. In this movement, from textured scrapings to electronic manipulations, the distinctness of objects and the processes of recordings clouds over to create a highly detailed sonic flow. The spaces of sounds and their origin are transposed onto an imaginary space where listening leads to many openings."

Artist:	INADA & PHILIP SAMARTIZ, KOZO
Title:	f[]
Label:	DIGITAL NARCIS (JAPAN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	DNCD 010

"This CD is made from real time mixing of each other's favorite sound materials in Japan. The result is a very good meditative and at the same time tension-requiring sound . In the beginning, Kozo's drone sound is growing slowly and then Philip's field recording sound are mixed. In the middle, Kozo's flowing noise sounds get multilayered and at the same time Philip's sensitive sound fragments are inserted. In the end, beautifully well-composed sound developments may surprise listeners."
