Recorded and mixed at Lost Space, Tokyo, January-May 1993. Mastered at Kojima Recordings, Tokyo, May 19 and 20, 1993. In Otomo's recording credit his name is misprinted as 'Toshihide'. (Quote from the booklet - page 2): 'The purpose of this virus project is to lay bare the act of sampling itself, not to create a musical work.' (Not from liner notes): This conceptual recording by the Tokyo avant-garde composer was a groundbreaking experiment in deconstruction released in 1993. The piece is based on a system that exploits the malfunction of the CD player, whereby the listener is instructed to play the CD in shuffle mode to achieve a random replay of very small fragments of sound and thus hear an entirely different piece of music with repeated listens. Much in the way that Oval worked with the destabilization of the CD medium. Packaging: standard plastic jewel box case, off-black tray, 16 page stapled cover booklet. Total time: 53:23 "Made in U.S.A." printed on both spines. "Printed in Canada" (oval logo) printed on back cover art. Printed durations that differ: Track 5: 3:27 Track 23: 2:10 Track 26: 1:13 Track 30: 1:39 Track 45: 0:29 Track 52: 0:36 Track 69: 0:28
