"Artists: Biosphere, Disinformation, Gescom, Hallucinator, Hazard, Jiri Ceiver, Monolake, :zoviet*france:... Since Saburo Teshigawara formed the dance company KARAS in Tokyo in 1985, the group's aim has been to seek a new form of beauty, one that contains the essence of human existence in its natural and manufactured environment. As a dance maker, Teshigawara's work and process spring not from conventional ideas established through history, but from his search for still hidden possibilities through action in choreography, art, music, design and thought. His approach is closer to the freedom and radical spirit of on-the-edge experimental music, being one of continually reinventing and rearranging ideas of dance and of expression. In Absolute Zero, Teshigawara attempts to achieve the impossible quality of perfect stillness and order amid the chaos of the physical world. A work of contrasts within and between its movement, sound and stage designs and its textures, Absolute Zero is the apotheosis of this artist's continual quest for beauty and discovery. To accompany the piece's worldwide touring, a number of international sound artists were invited to respond to the theme, 'absolute zero', with new compositions. This CD brings together eight artists whose work shares with Teshigawara's sensibilities of concept, aesthetic and innovation. From Biosphere to :zoviet * France:, the contributing artists are at the forefront of electronica, their sounds sketching subtle approaches to the absolute."
