OE – Physical Fiction

Digital sonic fetishism

The 2nd release as OE is his most experimental release yet, including pieces of musique concrete, noises, and morphing sounds. After the production of OE’s 1st album “Here and You,” Tatsuya got more interested in sonic aspects of music, coping with questions like, “How can we treat sounds as physical phenomena?” or “What if we could transform sounds like clay?.”

While spending many hours in processing sounds by making full use of his computer software and programming original patches, he would go outside with a tiny recorder for field recordings. A massive amount of sound materials he had generated and gathered were digitally processed, morphed, 3D-effected, and mixed into these eleven pieces.
