*2025 stock* Sound recordings from moids, a sound installation project by Kazuki Saita, Hiroko Mugibayashi, and Soichiro Mihara. The release features three versions based on the principle of “one input (a microphone) and one sound-producing mechanism.” Presented in sculptural form, these swarms of devices respond to one another’s sounds like cicadas or frogs in chorus.
Version 1 plays like minimal music: electronic tones answering each other without rhythm. Version 2 evokes the sonic image of insects stirred from the thicket, returning mechanical noise. Version ∞ generates pulsing signals reminiscent of neuronal firings. Includes a detailed datasheet with commentary by composer Masahiro Miwa, who witnessed the project’s earliest beginnings.
Format
180g heavyweight vinyl with 3 detailed data sheets and liner notes.
