I started researching Japanese IDM/glitch artists and I’ve stumbled on two that I really like. If you’re into Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Autechre etc. you’ll like Ryoji Ikeda and Aoki Takamasa as well! Glitch is seriously my new drug.

This first video is made by a fan, and I love it. This is “Data.Microhelix” from the album “Dataplex” by Ryoji Ikeda.

This is Aoki Takamasa’s “Mirabeau”, off his album “Parabolica”.  The audiovisual display is by Ryoichi Kurokawa.

My newest release, “You Are Used To This Advertising“, is finally available on iTunes.

As you may well know (or not), I re-released my first album, Cyclops’ Lament,  a few days ago. My good friend Chris Harris has posted a very nice mini-review of the album as his “Album of the Month September ‘09“. Thanks, Chris!

I’m proud of all of you. More… »
