About Yasunao Tone & Hecker
Yasunao Tone & Hecker (Palimpsest) was released November 16, 2004 on the Vienna-based Mego label. Yasunao Tone has been an important member of the Fluxus movement in Japan, and his music deals with digital binary error. Hecker's work can mostly be found on the Mego record label. The sounds Hecker works with harken back to harsh German composers like Stockhausen and other academic performers. Palimpsest brings these two musicians together into a study of error in sound. With the material being based on Japanese Man'yōshū poems converted to sound then thrown into various error processors (malfunctioning CDs, a favorite of Yasunao's work and other filters) it remains on the very fringe of digitally created sound. More akin to noise than Oval, it remains a difficult listen. Sounds are built up, destroyed, and move at an indeterminate speed and tempo. There are no constants.
