Big Tip! Born in the mid-1950s, the NHK Electronic Music Studio was a world-leading lab where Japan’s electronic music took shape. This album gathers works created there between 1968 and 1974—a vivid snapshot of chance operations, ring modulation, waveform experiments, broadcast collage, and intense hand-made tape craft.
Launched in 1993 in memory of the studio’s founding architect Hiroshi Shioya, our project treats these tapes as living works—not nostalgia. We re-check sources, rebuild the listening conditions, and present the music through playback/performance so each piece returns as an experience, heard with today’s ears and passed forward.
