Paradoxa" .. [Aufabwegen]
Apr 2009 (Germany)
Constructed over the period of two years via mail collaboration

have made a name for themselves with their unique approach to making sound.
Both artists combine the best of both worlds in this crunching release!
Comes in beautiful full cover digipak, designed by Government Alpha, typesetting
by John Wiese. - Aufabwegen
"He meshes iittery bleeps and pulsing rhythmic loops, layering
them into hyperactive, shapeshifting conflations, heavy on detail and packed
with drama and incident." - Wire (Jan. issue)
"Akumu" is like being caught in a spiderweb that sticks and
creeps to your skin and brain, there is no escape. "Akumu" is a truly imaginative
and terrifying electronic album that gives you a new and unique edge on
the KK NULL's universe. This is the dark masterpiece. - Vital

KK NULL "Gamma Ray Burster" .. [Steinklang] Sep 2007 (Austria)
Rhythmic and pounding analogue sine waves combined with experimental electronic sounds, flirring, whistling, crackling, rumbling and noising inside Your head.

Very far!

KK NULL
+ DANIEL MENCHE "Raijin" ..
[Asphodel]
Nov 2006 (USA)
Raijin, five untitled tracks constructed by noise artists
Daniel Menche
and KK Null, hit like a violent storm in this electrically charged collaboration
by two masters of dense sound sculpture. Like Raijin and Fujin, Shinto Gods
of thunder and lightning, Menche and Null command attention with the ability
to create a powerful sensory presence. Their treatment of drum, voice, trumpet
and electronics roars and tumbles through these collating waves of noise
and electro-acoustic ambience. Menche's thunderous drums resonate like a
shockwave as Null's lightning sheds light upon those seeking shelter on
land.
Consisting of two live tracks carefully edited in the studio
Kosmista Noisea is full of depths and dimensions showing the diversity of
NULL's music from intense clashing waves of noise to structured electro-acoustic
ambience.Lavish metallic packaging by Stephen O'Malley of Sunn O))).
The first full length studio album in 20 years. combining
free jazz, heavy rock, noise, glitch and free improvised dynamics. ANP creates
a sound that is entirely unprecedented. Lavish metallic packaging by Stephen
O'Malley of Sunn O))).

KK NULL (real name
: KAZUYUKI KISHINO) was born in Tokyo, Japan. Composer, guitarist, singer,
mastermind of ZENI GEVA and electronic wizard. One of the top names in
Japanese noise music and in a larger context, one of the great cult artists
in experimental music since the early 80's.
In 1981 KK NULL studied at Butoh dancer, Min Tanaka's "Mai-Juku" workshop and
started his career by performing guitar improvisations in the clubs in
Tokyo. He continued by collaborating with MERZBOW for two years, and joining
the band YBO2 (with Masashi Kitamura, the chief editer of "Fool's
Mate" magazine and Tatsuya Yoshida, the drummer of RUINS) and starting
the improvised noise/rock trio ABSOLUT NULL PUNKT (with Seijiro Murayama,
the original drummer of Keiji Haino's FUSHITSUSHA).
In 1985 he established his own label NUX ORGANIZATION to produce & release
his own works and subsequently the bands such as MELT-BANANA and SPACE
STREAKINGS. He also produced the series of "Dead Tech" (compilation albums
by Japanese bands) which heralded Japanese alternative music boom internationally
from the early 90's to date.
In the early 90's he gained world-wide recognition as the mastermind,
guitarist and singer of the progressive hardcore trio ZENI GEVA with their
extremely heavy sound, releasing five albums produced by STEVE ALBINI
(two on Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label) and a few more on
other labels such as NEUROSIS's Neurot Recordings. Also ZENI GEVA recorded
twice for JOHN PEEL SESSION on BBC, and immensely toured throughout Europe,
USA, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, playing hundreds of concerts.
Throughout, KK NULL has worked on his solo career and collaborated with
other musical innovators such as Z'EV, CHRIS WATSON, DANIEL MENCHE, KEIJI
HAINO, SEIICHI YAMAMOTO, JON ROSE, BILL HORIST, PHILIP SAMARTZIS, ALEXEI
BORISOV, ZBIGNIEW KARKOWSKI, JAMES PLOTKIN, JIM O'ROURKE, FRED FRITH,
JOHN ZORN to name a few, and has been invited to perform at international
festivals such as "Sonar" in Barcelona (Spain), "Beyond Innocence" in
Kobe/Osaka (Japan), "Exiles" in Berlin (Germany), "International Sound
Art Festival" in Mexico City (Mexico), "Sergey Kuryokhin International
Festival (SKIF-6 & 8)" in St.Petersburg & Moscow (Russia), "X-peripheria"
in Budapest (Hungary), "Totally Huge New Music Festival" in Perth (Australia),
"Avanto Helsinki Media Art Festival" in Helsinki (Finland), "All Tomorrow's
Parties UK", "International Festival Musique Actuelle" in Victoriaville
(Canada), "Electron" in Geneve (Switzerland), "Presences Electronique
[INA/GRM]" in Paris (France) and more.
After playing the guitar as his main instrument for some twenty years,
KK NULL has gradually moved towards a more electronic approach. In recent
years he has concentrated his efforts on his solo & collaborative recordings,
exploring the outer territories of electronica, creating intense clashing
wave of noise, structured electro-acoustic ambience, broken down rhythmics,
scattered pitch sculptures, droning isolationist material which could
be described "cosmic noise maximal/minimalism".
At present KK NULL has more than 100 titles of recordings released (inc.
solo, bands, collaboratiobns, compilations).

Tasman Richardson striked again with this a/v album composed like a tornado of micro samples. He cuts film like a surgeon cuts bodies to create new species. This creature is like a starving beast, fed by the power of mass media images. Tasman Richardson assembles his work image by image sound by sound generating an apocalyptic ambiance with an extreme accuracy and mastery of rhythm.
This DVD album has been released on the web (you can watch it for free) and as a Video DVD (ISO file) that you can buy for 5 €
Enjoy !!
