Here is a portal to a vast and relatively unknown world, the
Japanese cyber-occult underground media scene of the early
1990s; our guide is the late Henry Kawahara, a media artist
and electronic music producer whose expansive and visionary
conception of digital technology merged with a desire to break
free of the constraints of mere rationality. This collection, the
first-ever archival release of his work, is drawn from recordings
released during the period 1991-1996, an exceptionally fertile
time for Kawahara. Originally released on CD by a few
Japanese independent labels including Hachiman Publishing, a
cyber-occult / new-age / old shinto book specialist, the releases
were available mainly in book stores, so this sumptuous and
prescient music has remained relatively unknown. The original
titles and tag lines of the CDs give clues about Kawahara's
interests and the music itself: Digital Mushroom, Subtropical
Illusion, Never-ending Asia, and so on.
Legendary Japanese producer of 'cyber-occult' electronic music in the early to mid 90s.
