about

This anthology is the second compilation from EM Records of the works of the late Henry Kawahara, a media artist and electronic music producer who was particularly active in the Japanese cyber-occult underground of the 1990s, a scene linked with technologies such as 3D (binaural) recordings, brain machines, sound chairs, computer graphics and compact discs. These tracks, produced 1990-95, include a series of recordings described as “Parallel Data Sounds” and “Sound LSD”, a “new language system that speaks directly to the cerebrum” using “frequency components that are not perceived by the conscious mind”, reflecting Kawahara’s interest in concepts such as astrology, love mantras, and astral projection. Also here are two pieces featuring dolphin sounds and human brainwave feedback, as well as pieces from a recording unit called H Music De-perception (HMD) and a group called Xiaoyun. The majority of tracks here were not originally released under Kawahara’s name, but this compilation is an essential key to decoding the Henry Kawahara saga, and also an unveiling of the secret we planted in the previous release, "Cybernetic Defiance and Orgasm: Essential Henry Kawahara," which Kawahara himself was involved in selecting before his death. This 3-CD set, which includes a special bonus CD, is also available as an abridged digital download.

サイバーオカルト音楽の神髄、ヘンリー川原アーカイブ・リリース総力特集。今回は音楽家以上にメディアアーティストといえる彼の真骨頂、マルチメディアのための音楽、そしてアノニマス的な録音や共同制作音源もコンパイルし、川原の異形さを多面的に検証し終結に突入する。前作コンピの秘密を暴露するオカルティックなボーナスディスク付きCD3枚組。

※本作のフィジカル・リリースはこのCDのみとなります。数量限定製造。

90年代の本邦サイバーオカルトとメディアアートの地下水脈で暗躍したエンジニア的サウンド・アーティスト、ヘンリー川原は何をなし何を残し音楽界から去ったのか――その謎を探るべくお届けするアーカイブ第二集かつ集結編。
本作では川原が栽培したサイバーオカルト・サウンドの真骨頂であるニューメディアのための音源、また、野心を垣間見る変名・共同制作もあわせてコンパイル。当時の市場では怪しいキワモノとして扱うよりほかなかった、メディアアートと“ニューエッジ”と日本的霊性がデジタル信号化した川原の音楽の公正な評価を試みる。また、解説には精神世界とテクノロジーが怪しく交錯したサイバーオカルトおよびその音楽についての総論と作品解説を掲載し、80年代後半から90年代初頭の四次元エアポケット的ミッシングリンクを解明する。

Think 'Technodelic' period YMO, the more experimental Sakamoto (B2 Unit) and various Hosono productions (SFX, etc) and you get the drift. Too many have slept on this seminal period of electronic music Jeff Klein
