dataphonics by Ryoji Ikeda, a minimalist
electronic composer and visual artist,
is a project that focuses on the
relationship between the data of sound
and the sound of data. The work deploys
frequencies at the very edges of human
hearing, sounds that, as Ikeda explains,
ôthe listener becomes aware of only upon
their disappearance.ö A homage to
Musique ConcrΦte pioneer Pierre
Schaefferæs Solfege de lÆobjet sonore,
dataphonics began as a monthly
broadcast on France culture's Atelier de
CrΘation Radiophonique. It is a highly
physical auditory response to the everû
present binary numerical system of
todayÆs digital age, ultimately seeking
to materialise the invisible domain of
ætotally-pure-digital-dataÆ.
This book and audio CD include the
mathematical and graphical examinations
of the fundamental binary
reduction/representation of sound
waveforms, and 10 audio tracks composed
from non-audio data as their elemental
materials.
Ryoji IKEDA: Japan's leading electronic
composer and sound artist Ryoji Ikeda
(born 1966) focuses on the minutiae of
ultrasonics, frequencies and the
essential characteristics of sound
itself. His work exploits sound's
physical property, its causality with
human perception and relationship with
mathematics. Using computer and digital
technology to the utmost limit, Ikeda
has been developing particular
ômicroscopicö methods for sound
engineering and composition. Since 1995
he has been intensely active in sound
art through concerts, installations and
recordings: the albums +/- (1996), 0
degrees (1998) and Matrix (2000) have
been hailed by critics as the most
radical and innovative examples of
contemporary electronic music. The
versatile range of his research is also
demonstrated by the collaborations with
choreographer William Forsythe/Frankfurt
Ballett, contemporary artist Hiroshi
Sugimoto, architect Toyo Ito,
artist/musician Carsten Nicolai for a
scientific art project cyclo. and artist
collective Dumb Type, among others.
Ryoji Ikeda received the Golden Nica
prize at Prix Ars Electronica 2001 in
the Digital Music category.
