> Info on Pachinkostudio and Mugen [January 01, 2000]
PRESENT Mugen, as a sound project, during the last 8 years kept its focus on minimal, ambient, noise and almost beatless music. Ideally [/end] represented the conclusion of the first cycle while opening the doors to a new challenge. Life and situations gradually change, mutations occur: as a result music naturally shifts according to the current context. Mugen's new sound explorations are going to blend the borders between experimentation and rhythm, glitches and deep basslines, Detroit techno and dub. It's time to change, it's time to move on.
Mugen is a sound-art project by Alessandro Canova, it evolved during the second half of the 90's from a study on digital/analog platforms in relation to visual design techniques. In 1999 Canova started experimenting with sine waves and white noise as his only sound sources, developing a special interest in the minimal aesthetic. Influenced by his studies on Asian arts he aims to create a meditative dimension: a contemplation of sound that lucidly expresses a refinement of the frequencies. He performed live presenting his works around Italy, France, UK and Japan. Pachinkostudio is a web based platform born to promote Canova's audio / visual works through the web. Pachinkostudio released several CDr and time limited collections of mp3s focusing on minimal and experimental sound design.
