*0 - 0.00




*0 or /0 as he will ... is the work of Nosei Sakata. I find him endlessly fascinating, sometimes theoretically empty and sometimes contact mic looped glitch festivals. And practically invisible on searches ... so, just in case you don't know:

"Asterisk-zero means "multiplied by zero (calculation)", so answers are zero in all cases. As a result *0 means "nothing". That is the main concept of *0's works, the Oriental thought about nothing, Japanese thought about "mu" (nothing in Japanese). Nothing ...nothing could create all things."

*0bviously.

CDr released on his own Mu Label in 1998.

  3. I love this! It can be very challenging music (to me at least), but it's really mesmerizing once you let it take you. Thanks!
