Isuzu Kochiwa - Disassembling The Molecules
If this doesn’t trip you out, consider yourself untrippable. Japanoise artist Isuzu Kochiwa has recorded 18 short pieces, each representing a famous visual artist, and packaged them into an online album titled Disassembling The Molecules. He uses voice, computer, samples and pretty much anything he can get his hands on to make these miniature sound sculptures. The results are pleasantly weird and often borders on the psychedelic. Whether “Warhol” sounds like a Andy Warhol painting or “Duchamp” is similar to a Marcel Duchamp masterpiece is immaterial. (Actually, I think the Duchamp piece is the most accurate sound representation of the collection.) It’s best to see these odd pieces as a peek into Kochiwa’s strange but wonderful mind.
It is available by separate tracks or a full album zip in 64kbps MP3, VBR MP3, or Ogg Vorbis.
