text by ken ikeda

there are moments in your life when something changes as you hear and become aware of the sounds around you. why do the sounds that cups and chairs make feel so distant? it seems that ‘i’ as an existence won’t be forgiven for being my ordinary self. the meaningless noise that reverberates in the living room opens up the possibility of connecting beyond the horizon... then, i become alone and say goodbye to the ‘me that was pretending to be like me’.

by assimilating these everyday sounds i get away from the everyday me and get closer, little by little, to the universe of ‘eternity and nothingness’. at this point – meaning the moment i change – i enter a personal time and space which could never be shared with others.

during the 2 years spent on this project i used an instrument made with rubber bands and nails to document my daily involvement with sounds. there exist various faces of ‘me’ and through the process of recording i became aware of the concept of ‘beyond the window’ and got lost in this vague daily space.

what could you see beyond the window? the whole universe and at the same time the usual me living my daily, ordinary life.

tzuki [moon]
touch # t33.17
cd
12 tracks - 48 minutes

"this work has as its purpose taking samples from old movies and, by erecting a memorial for the blanks between frames, communicating with the god of images and attracting that holy being. i will be happy if, by saying a mass for our ancestors, i can reconstruct the time of darkness and the energy of the universe and so reach the far ends of the space between frames. honouring the place our outer eyes cannot see is most necessary for our present-day materialistic society and for our virtual value standards."

having been recently featured in the hayward gallery's "sonic boom" exhibition for his collaboration with the japanese video artist mariko mori, tzuki [moon] is ken ikeda's first cd release in his own right... hypnotic sound-fields strangely reminiscent of early durrutti column.
