Jikkenteki Slowly Returns

[Jikkenteki]

Well I suppose it’s about time to officially state that I’m back and making music again. While it will be awhile before I get anything new out there, I have started plugging away at some new tunes. In the meantime I have finally started a Bandcamp page at https://jikkenteki.bandcamp.com 

 

While all the material there is also at Ektoplazm, I am also in the process of consolidating some older stuff, compilation tracks and such to put up on Bandcamp as well until I’m ready to unleash some new stuff. As for the new stuff, well “jikkenteki” means “experimental” in Japanese and that name was chosen for a reason...

[psytones]

Coooool! Velkommen tilbake, much love & respect to you and very eager to hear your new stuff  

[Paul Eye]

Now this is some fantastic news <3
Glad to see you're back in action

[technosomy]

For the first three starting with O.R.E., putting them up is something I’ve been considering. They are very rough and old school compared to Long Walk and afterwards, but as a long view of the evolution of an artist they might be vaguely interesting. The real problem is I have no idea where the files for the artwork are anymore...

could be worth a rework perhaps? i have never actually heard it before, would be great to hear it especially in  better quality than what seems to be out there

The first two “albums” were totally old school in that they were all hardware, no computer and were actual performances as it were. I think I saw cd-R’s with the wave files recently but I’d have to look again.

would love one of o.r.e if any hanging about, be great to complete my collection, totally old school and shows, pure genius in my book

Cool! Looking forward

I'd the first post but the broken theme prevents me from clicking it!

 

(Ha, zooming in to 200% worked. )

That's great news! Very curious to hear what you're going to come up with  

[Jikkenteki]

Small update after digging through files today, the weird situation I find myself in is I have all the wav files but none of the art for the second and third albums worth of stuff (Organic Imperfections and Ex-Para-Mental) but none of the files for the artwork, while with the first one (O.R.E.) I have the artwork but none of the full quality audio files seem to have survived. I can remake a cover easily enough but O.R.E. might be destined to survive in less than full quality (not that the quality was super to begin with).

Your wish is my command. Rather embarrassing really, but was literally making this stuff while really how to make electronic music. There were only two or three tracks I had made previous to these so its no joke to say I was maybe 1 or 2 months into making electronic music here when these were made. Anyways, here they are warts and all. (The next two "albums" will follow in the next few days).

it's not all bad, i never expected a masterpiece or it would have made it on a cd years ago, a couple tracks am actually quite digging but the sound quality does let it down some what, fav track for me is TTT part 3! quite amazing hearing o.r.e then the long walk home (since you reappeared have been listening alot in my car and helping keep me calm in these manic times) it is truly something else, big hi five to abasio for putting me onto it all those years ago, to anyone reading here who hasn't heard it, make some time. will be moving onto infinity next if and when i can get the cd out of the player (is actually jamming latley) from fumbly beginnings, but i tell you what if that album had to be made to get what came next i completley embrace with open arms

Actually there are two more between O.R.E. and Long Walk. I never really brought them up for a reason but someone managed to find O.R.E. and list it on Discogs so might as well complete the origin story, as it were. 

[technosomy]

i had heard rumours and always wondered what you were doing between 2000 and 2006??

cool people come back 

nice to see it happening

Part 2 of the “Jikkenteki Origins” series, Organic Imperfections, has been put up. Again we are still dealing with live performances sequenced on the fly with minimal gear, but overall a step or three up from the O.R.E. material. Feel free to check it out if interested.

Too old Matsuri Productions in a world of Classical Mushroom. Honestly at the time is was just making and recording tracks for fun in my college dorm room and didn’t really see much in “releasing” them beyond the small community of artists on mp3.com.  I can listen to these now, 20 years later with some hindsight and appreciate them, but at the time they were far from the music I was envisioning in my head. If I had made these like 6 years earlier, who knows. 

[Jikkenteki]

Part three of the "Jikkenteki Origins" series, the album "Ex-Para-Mental" is now up. This album shows the change from using live gear and sequencers, etc, to using an actual computer and software to make the majority of the music. Literally these are THE first tracks I made on a computer, warts and all.
