japanese idm / glitch – ryoji ikeda and aoki takamasa
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.
I’ve been working on this one forever. I finished two songs as part of another project and I was so inspired that I loaded this one up and finished it as well! There are a couple ideas I toyed with, structure-wise, that I really haven’t used before, and I’m excited that everything turned out so well.
