based in new york city since 1992, kato hideki--a former member of otomo yoshihide's group ground-zero and tony buck's band peril--has been involved in myriad projects in america and europe, including fred frith and ikue mori's death ambient, and a multimedia collaboration with nicholas collins. taiwan-born james fei studied with alvin lucier and anthony braxton following his move to the u.s. (also in '92). now living in new york, he's active as a composer and improviser, and as an instructor at columbia university's computer music center. fei is also a sax player, although he doesn't use the instrument on this album. in recent years, kato and fei have been performing as a duo at live music venues and galleries in new york. sieves was made through a process of excerpting, editing, mixing, and mastering electronic performance and recording using feedback; live-performance-like analog mixes; and performance-recording of acoustic reverberation. not limited to mere documentation and editing, the recording process was treated as a form of improvisation and composition. |
