intransitive press release...
nerve net noise is the synthesizer duo of tsuyoshi nakamaru and hiroshi kumakiri, who confused and irritated just about everyone with their cd "160/240", published by the meme label several years ago. each nerve net noise album is an astoundingly thorough exploration of one aspect of what thier rough and barely controllable homemade synthesisers can do.

"meteor circuit" explores rhythms and beats, but it's no minimal glitch album, and neither is nnn a "noise" band; they are after something much more elusive and beautiful than mere obvious full-bore screech. with a strange new angle on electronic improvisation, they twisted knobs until their machines produced rhythmic pulses, then hit record and let the instruments decide what would happen next. the "natural" imperfections of the synthesizers' circuitry determined how each piece would evolve with little or no interaction from the artists. they then edited the works into a coherent, intense and (it must be said bluntly) immensely bizarre album.

there isn't anyone else doing quite what nerve net noise is doing, and no convenient genre or style that they fit into, which is why they are one of intransitive's very favorite groups and why we are especially proud to present "meteor circuit" to you now. following two albums on kazunao nagata's cult zero gravity label and last year's stunning "various amusements" cd on hronir (and, of course, the infamous "160/240" on meme), "meteor circuit" is the first nerve net noise cd published in the us.

nakamura records more accessible techno-pop under the alias tagomago. he also records using the alias toki-meki science for nobukazu takemura's childisc label. the band describes their sound as "electric noise music, but not academic, not mere noisy sound. we think that our music is not so much noise music as new kind of pop music".

ju-jikan: 10 hours of sound from japan
23f/sfm 901, double compact disc set

in 2001, the san francisco sound-arts organization 23five and the san francisco museum of modern art co- presented ju-jikan — a ten hour ‘listening event’ documenting the past 50 years of japanese experimental music. the curators of ju-jikan; atau tanaka, ryoji ikeda, and shunichiro okada did not intend their exhibition to be a comprehensive encyclopedia of japanese experimentation; rather they sought “to trace the complex web of sonic style that constitutes the current japenese musical landscape.” tanaka, whose lucid writings are found within ju-jikan’s liner notes, takes great care in describing the contradictions and unspoken connections that linger not just within the niches of japanese audio experimentation but also throughout all of japanese culture. just as technology and electronics are the lone assimilating factors within the broad scope of ju-jikan, these same tools also gave the possibility for separation from the west and from each other to create a wealth of new languages.

while the ten hour ‘listening event’ at sfmoma spanned 5 decades of historical recordings, the double cd centers upon the last decade, as a means to publish previously unreleased work from many of featured artists. all of the artists with ju-jikan (both the 2cd and the sfmoma listening event) draw from the recombinant power of electronic synthesis and the juxtaposition of disparate styles; which together have become a standard if elusively-defined musical vocabulary for japanese music. tanaka, ikeda, and okada offered convenient catagories (computer music, anti-academic movements, noise, anti-pop permutations, ambient fields, after improvised music, etc.) as ports of entry; however, they point out that many japanese experimental artists refuse to paint themselves into an aesthetic corner. ju-jikan’s cd companion features compositions from tamami toro, pain jerk, yasunao tone, nerve net noise, otomo yoshihide, atau tanaka, i.d., masonna, kozo inada, ichiro nodaira, hanatarash, yuji takahashi, ryoji ikeda, merzbow, kazuo uehara, astro, and testuo furudate.

founded in 1993, 23five incorporated is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the development and increased awareness of sound works in the public arena, and to the support and education of artists working with and discussing the medium of sound. for the past 14 years, 23five incorporated has remained at the forefront in bringing the most adventurous elements of sound art to the san francisco bay area. 23five has served as an important benefactor to artists such as john duncan, christina kubisch, francisco lopez, achim wollscheid, matt heckert, zbigniew karkowski, atau tanaka, and many more.
