Remarks: “K2 is dead!” This is a lie! I just re-started the musical activity as “K2”, since 2009. The era during 1983-1986 is the first period of K2, and I concentrated to mail art & music scene, no live shows. The era during 1993-2005 is the second period of K2, and firstly I made dark ambient noise music, but after then, I became to make metal junk harsh noise music with cut-up mixing technique and moreover I did many live performances with tape manipulation and over-effected sound system. And now is the third period of K2 (2009~ now). Firstly, I have made technoise as “Dead Disneys”, but I have made loud noise works with junk electronics and vintage synthesizers! The works in this box is the most first works in the third era. In this works, I mainly use Nintendo DS and DS-10, which are cheap game machine and software, and turntables. It is successful for me to make loud noise with these equipments. After then, I moreover concentrate to junk electronics using feedback systems. The 4 works in this box are transitional ones from metal junk noise to junk electronic noise, and they are very valuable for me! And how you, too? I also use the cut-up mixing technique, in these works. Of course, I love the sounds of metal junks, but I also love the electronics, because I am originally a keyboardist. I will change the style of my noise works, but they are too unique to you and me. The name of “Made in Erehwon”is derived from the group name of Raita Ishikawa, a Japanese installation artist, and from, at the same time, the title name of David Thomas (Pere Ubu) and Two Pale Boys’ CD. The sounds in this box are made in “everywhere” and at the same time, exist in “nowhere”. This box set is ultra-limited edition. If you are a fan of K2, and you get it, you are very very lucky !!!! I will go as loud as possible with my noise! And you, too????? I am very grateful to Jay (PLACENTA RECORDINGS)!!!! OK, please enjoy them!!! This is a perfect music!!!
Thank you very much!
