A very strong collaboration by three artists Keiichiro Shibuya (computer and keyboard), Toshimaru Nakamura (no-input mixing board), Norbert Moslang (cracked everyday-electronics) at the forefront of digital, noise and improvisation. In addition to 7 collaboration tracks, this disc premiers 6 pieces of the individual artists.

This release on Atak is recorded during the Swiss invasion of Japan. It must have been a busy time for the Swiss people with all these playing and improvising. This disc is a bit complicated: it contains seven tracks by all three, and then two by each solo, probably some rework of the original concert recordings - but perhaps not. In the trio-improvisations the computer, keyboard (Shibuya), cracked everyday electronics (Mo¨slang) and guitar, mixing board and headphones (Nakamura) bounce together in a pretty violent fashion. Not really noise in the strictest sense of the word, but in a more crude manner than is usual in the world of improvisation (at least this world), but all three keep their ears open for what the others are doing and the clashes work well. Interesting enough all three like their solo work to focus on rhythmic particles. Nakamura splices them through the use of a no-input mixer, Mo¨slang by creating loops out his own cracked everyday electronics and Shibuya makes them really short, ultra fast and ultra stereo to create a fine woven pattern of sound. I like the fact that these solo excursions are included, so we can our own math's and see who did what. Great release. Quite powerful. [Frans de Waard]
