Early Works
Edition Omega Point presents a collection of early work from Japanese experimental composer Kazuo Uehara. "'Seoul 1982' was composed using recorded sounds as raw material to reassemble the 'historical' soundscape of Korea's capital city, Seoul, in the early 1980s. During this time, despite the political chaos and the tension in the city under the Korean military government, I felt the lively energy in people's lives. The raw material comprised a wide range of different sounds, including th…

Für einen kleinen See
This album is for the downward gaze. Taken from leftover piano sounds of simple sound sequences which Aki Takahashi had recorded for him.

Unconstituted praxis
Three years ago we suggested to Mattin the possibility of publishing a book containing all his texts to date. Mattin was a little reluctant since much of the material was already available online in one form or another. However, at that stage this material was both distributed and disorganised. With the help of Anthony Iles this material has been revised, edited, and is presented here alongside newly commissioned materials. This book contains texts, interviews and responses to performance…
Re/cycling Rectangle
Two short sides of sound collage from Tokyo's masterful sample artist Otomo Yoshihide. These pieces are made up of short sound samples of almost any instrument imaginable: saxophone blasts, cello strokes, short metallic chord bursts, single plucks of the guitar as well as the noises made by hand movements all set to a metronomic sampled drumbeat. Quite interesting, but not a fully realized work. If Otomo chooses to continue this process, it could potentially have wonderful results.
