Recorded in September 2002, Material for Structure I unfolds across 50 minutes as a continuously evolving sonic organism. The first half emphasizes repetition, gradually building toward chaotic avalanches of sound. Throughout, electronically randomized frequencies color the space, demonstrating mature command of computer-generated textures.
Remarkably, despite the digital tool shift, performances retain the freakish intensity of 1990s analog sessions - proof that expression transcends equipment. The "Structure" title suggests architectural ambitions: Akita building sonic edifices from raw material, constructing spaces for listeners to inhabit.
