In 1991, Yuji Takahashi and Mamoru Fujieda collaborated in staging a sound installation at the Sezon Museum of Art in Tokyo, making extensive use of the new artistic possibilities provided by the advent of personal computers.

A Fistful of Dollars / Per un Pugno di Dollari
2024 repress. "Red canyon" colored vinyl edition. Year 1964. Almost out of nowhere, a half-known and little-regarded director like Sergio Leone reinterprets a film by Akira Kurosawa in a western key and, putting together all the right pieces that contribute to the making of a film, with a pinch of intuition establishes new rules for the 'spaghetti western' genre, starting an endless series of imitations. "For a Fistful of Dollars" would not have the same impact without the inimitable music by En…

Associated Sine Tone Services
Associated Sine Tone Services (ASTS) is a new conceptual collaboration between analog oscillator wielders.
