He has composed music for David Lynch and Tadanori Yokoo. He has also collaborated on numerous projects, including a work recorded inside a massive dam—measuring approximately 40 × 40 meters—with David Toop, John Russell, Akira Sakata, Tetsuji Akiyama, and Carl Stone. Ken Ikeda, a musician and visual artist also known for his work on ROOM40, a label headed by Lawrence English, makes extensive use of the SD404—an extremely simple homemade instrument consisting of nothing more than a piece of wood with nails driven into it and rubber bands stretched across it—blending it with electronic sounds. Ten tracks of electro-acoustic microsounds that connect everyday life with a cosmic sensibility, returning to the improvisational act of “making sound and feeling its vibrations”—a fundamental aspect of music’s prehistory. A masterpiece that feels as though it tunes your ears. Remastered by Chihei Hatakeyama, a leading figure in the ambient and drone scene. Highly recommended. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
