I went to a Ryoji Ikeda show yesterday.
it was really massive !
awesome black and white videos + subbasses, bleeps and spastic rythms. during some moments everybody in the theatre was falling in a half-sleep, then suddenly there was a big flash with a massive low kick and everybody was jumping on his seat.
the sound was really crispy and the video perfectly in sync with the sounds.
AW-E-SO-ME
the performance was really close to this:

wow, and to think of all the hard work I put into making music, when all that's needed is to make some bleeps and have a flashy light.

well, there was not only one flash. it was one hour of abstract and dynamic forms moving with/on the music.
lot of hard work too for Ikeda too !

especially since it is really important to value art with the amount of effort, that is needed to create it.

I got the new cd a while, still have to write a review about it. Dataplex 2. To be honost 1 was enough for me. There is a sticker on the cd case warning for ear damage, and the sounds just became some what random...
Did anyone else hear the dataplex 2 album yet?

I haven't really listened to dataplex 2 either as he has revisited much of the same ground -- tiny sounds evolving into great bigness over time, incredibly precise engineering and isolated frequencies. I love his stuff, I think it's really inventive and committed, but not something I can listen to a lot. Ear damage -- I can believe it! You have to be careful not to crank his stuff too loudly or else OUCH

I've seen his theory, and c4i pieces a couple of year's ago. The strobing was intense, he had this mega flash pointing right at everyone's eyes. It was awesome.

There was a ton of this stuff at the Elektra festival in Montreal this year.
It kinda gives me a hard-on, but I don't think it holds up in an art context. It's just data-art fetish. "Look at all this flickering lights! Wicked."
What I want to see is this type of thing, but held as an illegal rave in a metro station (and of course it would need to have 4-on-the-floor beats throughout).
