Nozomu Matsumoto
is an artist and curator behind EBM(T), Tokyo -- representing work by
Robin Mackay
,
TCF
,
Sam Kidel
, etc.
Climatotherapy
is his first physical release following a number of self-published digital works and mixes for online publications.
Climatotherapy
is Nozomu's soundtrack for a health forecast given by Amazon's Text-to-Speech interface Polly, and is perhaps the most disturbing, as well as the most evocative release on The Death Of Rave label to date; creating a widescreen, hi-definition world where you're never quite sure what's real.
Climatotherapy
features Polly narrating a non-linear text intersecting issues of morality in Artificial Intelligence with the artist's experience of meteoropathic sickness, and its symptoms related to barometric fluctuations and psychic-atmospheric disturbance. Nozomu imagines that Polly curates our mental and moral energy into health by high-definition MIDI orchestration. Polly's prognostications come framed by a hyperreal tapestry of idyllic ambient, cinematic strings, and R&B folk tropes, conveying Nozomu's ideas with clinically emotive clarity. The effect is uncannily calculated, using additional human vocals and music to limn in HD detail an up-to-the minute and personal perspective on themes of AI and morality which could be called key to Japan's hauntology. A strikingly singular work, the 15-minute
Climathotherapy
effectively resonates with the novel musical sci-fi of
James Ferraro
,
Elysia Crampton
, and TCF, as well as The Death of Rave's own editions such as
Mark Leckey
's GreenScreenRefrigerator (LECKEY 001LP) and
Sam Kidel
's
Disruptive Muzak
(RAVE 014LP, 2016). It's a properly unique record of its times. Master and cut by
Matt Colton
at Alchemy. Includes 12x12" insert transcript designed by
Mark Fell
. One-sided white label with sticker; Edition of 300.
