“Hommage to home electronics”
“I have interested in junk materials and have made sound works since several years ago. Before then, I listened experimental music as a fan, but my border of music and non music became meaningless by encounter with Fluxus, sound-art, media-art and others. Since then, I love texture of “sound” itself. I remarked abandoned analog televisions when transmitting system of broadcast signal was changed to digital format in 2011. They are one of my favorite instrument at present, and I hold live performance and installation used them. In this CD, I used analog TV, cassette tape recorder and video player. However, their sounds are not manipulated, and I recorded their spontaneous machine noise only. Are These one of “experimental music”? I think it may be “discovered music”. Obviously, I cannot leave from the fascination of ordinary equipments in my life.” Profile of artist : Born in 1974 Akira Matsuoka established VLZ Produkt in 2008 for produce of live show and release of himself and related artists (T. Mikawa, Keitetsu Murai, Nobuo Yamada and others). His installation work for analog TV was opened at Gendai Hights gallery in 2011. He was participated in exhibition of Fluxus artist AY-O in 2012.
