It is characterized by uncompromising experimentalism that has been honed, sharpened and developed to an atomically precise fine point. Glass is the latest collaboration between composer Sakamoto and the German electronic artist Carsten Nicolai who best known under the moniker Alva Noto.ġ6 years since their debut joint effort 'Vrioon' now arrives a seventh joint release that braces new music that looks forward to further exploratory musical landscapes and moods. It's very difficult to position an album that breaks all its precedents through an approach that blends a live performance and improvisation. It's a rare occasion these days when a certain album manages to shake quietly the foundation of what music is and what it can be. Ikeda has received the Prix Ars Electronica Collide at CERN in 2014, and the 70th Japanese Minister of Education Award for Fine Arts, Media Arts Division in 2020.This combination will not only improve your AAJ experience, it will allow us to continue to rigorously build on the great work we first started in 1995. In 2022, Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art presented his first major solo exhibi^on in Japan since 2009.

Ikeda’s immersive live performances and installations employ elaborate orchestration of sounds, visuals, maler, physical phenomena, and mathematical concepts. While rooted in electronic music, the internationally active composer and artist also produces art as experimentation. ‘ultratronics ’ will premiere at Tokyo’s Born in 1966 in Gifu, Ikeda currently lives and works in Paris and Kyoto. Pre-orders of both editions will start on October 7th, 2022. A Japanese edition of the CD will be available on Ryoji Ikeda’s codex | edition. ‘ultratronics’ will be available worldwide on CD and digitally. To be experienced visually and aurally, the album transports the listeners in a world composed of large amounts of data that usually go unnoticed. Since 2000 Ikeda has pursued the theme of data, with a particular interest in the fields of genetics, quantum physics, and astronomy, which he has incorporated into works that present new ways of perceiving the world in numerical terms.

Ryoji Ikeda has created numerous immersive works that dynamically combine technology, light, and sound to electrify the audience’s senses.
