Album Notes & Community Reviews

A defining masterpiece of post-digital minimalism, 'Matrix' utilizes pure sine waves and white noise to explore the very limits of human perception. The Japanese composer constructs an incredibly stark, clinical, and hypnotic sonic environment that forces the listener to engage with silence and extreme frequencies.
