“This is Ryoji Ikeda’s fifth solo CD and his third for Touch, following the highly acclaimed +/- [1996] and 0*C [1998]. He previously released 1000 Fragments on his own cci recordings, and Time and Space, a double 3” CD, for Staalplaat.
Back in stock. 4th edition. This is Ryoji Ikeda’s 1st CD for Touch. Released originally in 1996, a new version for the Millennium was released in 2000. +/- has a particular sonority whose quality is determined by one’s listening point in relation to the loudspeakers. Furthermore, the listener can experience a particular difference between speaker playback and headphone listening. The sound signals can be thought of in the same way as spotlights. Lastly, a high frequency sound is used that the listener only becomes aware of upon its disappearance.
