INT 029CD

"Dark Garden, the new album of thrillingly idiosyncratic analog buzz by Nerve Net Noise (aka homemade synth duo of Hiroshi Kumakiri and Tagomago) , is the perfect entry point for listeners new to their singular sonic world. This album of short, song-like synthesizer pieces might take its cues from manga, science fiction, early electronic music, and minimal techno, but as always, the Tokyo band resides firmly in their own inexplicable universe. Dark Garden assimilates fractured beats, stuttering pulses, naked static, and impatient drones into an album that's somehow both playfully alive and coldly menacing. In his liner notes, synth builder Kumakiri describes spirits that lurk in the shadows and watch people go about their lives, existing in a parallel world that bring to mind fairy tales and myth. Nerve Net Noise's music is similarly just out of reach, present in the natural world but not quite a part of it. For fans of Klaus Schultze, Jessica Rylan, Henri Pousseur, or Pan Sonic."

MEME 004

"This is the new work of Japanese inventive electro-noise duo (Tagomago and Kumakiri). They use handmade synths only. System rouge (one of their synth) could not stop to repeat... The profile about Tagomago (Tsuyoshi Nakamaru): Born in Tokyo1963. Released his 1st Album as Tagomago in December, 1994. Related with the scene of noise-techno music in Tokyo, and has released his original works of electronics sounds. Playing synthesizer made by himself as the ambient-noise unit Nerve Net Noise with Hiroshi Kumakiri who is the formative artist, since 1996. And in May, 1998, got into the action of Toki-Meki Science which is a Meta-Pop project with a female vocalist." "Here are five more offerings from Meme, a Japanese CD pressing hub paralleling only Tzadik (possibly Cleopatra, depending on your definition of 'outsider') in brute-force release prolificity of head-scratcher audio documentation. Nerve Net Noise have two releases on Zero Gravity (This Island Earth and their collaboration with Dub Sonic Roots, Live at Uplink Factory) as well as a bevvy of tracks/albums as TagoMago. This CD has tracks, a square-pulsing analog signal that takes 31:11 to modulate down a half step, and a faster 50/50 pulse/signal mix that takes 31:52 to double in speed. So fucking zen it barely qualifies as audio (this sound could have been derived from any of several phase-test methods, then recorded through an audio path). Test your will to live, go on..." -- Hrvatski.
