Kenji Siratori: a Japanese soundartist / writer who is currently bombarding the internet with wave upon wave of highly experimental, uncompromising, progressive, intense prose. His is a writing style that not only breaks with tradition, it severs all cords, and can only really be compared to the kind of experimental writing techniques employed by the Surrealists, William Burroughs and Antonin Artaud. Embracing the image mayhem of the digital age, his relentless prose is nonsensical and extreme, avant-garde and confused, with precedence given to twisted imagery, pace and experimentation over linear narrative and character development. With unparalleled stylistic terrorism, he unleashes his literary attack. An unprovoked assault on the senses. Blood Electric (Creation Books) was acclaimed by David Bowie.
"Is it possible, or even sensible, to read Kenji Siratori's work as a linear, developmental, discrete text? What I absorb and inhale, eyes glassy and slipping off pages, tripping over recombinant barking, is a generative machine, overloaded and screaming." - David Toop, author of Rap Attack, Ocean of Sound, Exotica and Haunted Weather
"What Kenji Siratori achieves with his polywaves of interlocking paraphrasing, is the opportunity to rase to the ground antiquated rhetoric, and give world literature the prefect blank foundation in which to bring about a whole new phraseology." - GX Jupitter-Larsen
"Kenji Siratori breaks new ground that others only dream." - Alan Sondheim
"This is the "new" that you never knew was there, and, like all things so totally new, it forces us to rethink our idea of "novel", "life" and, in the end, even "Art"." - Jared Louche of CHEMLAB
"Kenji Siratori doesn't just describe a chaotic and disturbing future world of man-machine-chaos , he inhabits that world and reports from the front line in that hybrid language. A mesmerizing mantra as well as a technical manual for a possible evolution of our species." - Randy Greif
