Ryoji Ikeda Ultratronics AV live
_JP [Noton]
Japan’s leading electronic composer and visual artist Ryoji Ikeda focuses on the essential characteristics of sound itself and that of visuals as light by means of both mathematical precision, and mathematical aesthetics. Ikeda has gained a reputation as one of the few international artists working convincingly across both visual and sonic media. He elaborately orchestrates sound, visuals, materials, physical phenomena and mathematical notions into immersive live performances and installations.
In December 2022, codex | edition and Noton (DE) released Ultratronics, their first album in a decade. This year, the L.E.V. Festival will have the pleasure of presenting their latest project.
His albums +/- (1996), 0°C (1998), matrix (2000), ‘dataplex’ (2005), test pattern (2008), and supercodex (2013) pioneered a new minimal world of electronic music through his razor-sharp techniques and aesthetics. Ikeda has been working on long-term projects through audiovisual performances, and installations, and acoustic music pieces. His books and CDs are released on codex | edition, his online source established in 2018. You can discover more about his work at codex | edition, an online platform launched in 2018.
