Drip Music
OMEGA POINT
OPA-009 CD digipack deluxe + Bklt 2008
Yoji Kuri is an experimental animation artist in Japan has acted since early 60's. His name is well-known not only by many works full of 'black humour' in 60's-70's, but also the sound materials were made by avant-garde composers (Toru Takemitsu, Yoko Ono, and others).
This new edition is combined Ichiyanagi's unpublished tape work (it was sleeping at Kuri's studio 30 years) with Kuri's written off fantastic manga work (16 pp) inspired by the sound. In 1966, "Yabunirami no Concert" (manga book with 7" single) was published by Kuri privately. This "Drip Music" is similar style issue since then.

this time around, the disc contains only a single track : toshi ichiyanagi’s legendary 1974 piece “drip music” (completely spacious / spaced-out ring-modulator / prepared piano blasts, recorded far into-the-red) ... this is coupled with a 20-page booklet of themic / ”outsider” drawings by noted “experimental animation artist” yoji kuri & housed in a slate-grey cover-weight sleeve (breaking form w/the prior 8 volumes of the series)
