about

I-go-I-e
Ichi go ichi e (一期一会)

In a world saturated with technology and digital culture, this project offers a stop, a breath, and a unique meeting of ancient customs with contemporary artistic practices and artists’ visions of the future. It takes inspiration from the past in a search for raw energy, cultural roots, and unique sound material. This compilation contains sonic metaphors and ways of preserving, reflecting upon, and using culture as a sound source. Buddhist chants and ancient instruments from Japan serve here as a case study, highlighting the relationships between technology, tradition, and culture.

The artists involved were presented with a challenge to create new works by engaging with specially recorded sound material. Sounds of traditional instruments were integrated into modern digital workflows, electronic instruments and tools. The artists contrasted, morphed, mixed and collided the material via fragmented pieces of space and time in the form of audio variously sampled, electronically generated, and processed. This way the album serves as a timbral tool kit, showcasing diverse types of artistic interactions and experiments with the timbres of traditional instruments. The presented works are thus metaphorical digital artefacts of today, demonstrating different ways of reflecting upon culture.

I-go-i-e acknowledges ancient instruments and artforms, embracing the limitations, idiosyncrasies, and rawness of the sound sources. The title of the album stems from an ancient Japanese word game, an idiom coming from the tea ceremony philosophy. Ichi-go-ichi-e (一期一会) means
treasuring the unique nature of a moment, each moment being different, distinctive, a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

As part of the challenge artists were given the same sample material to work with and get inspired by. The use of the material was left entirely up to their imagination and interpretation. This systematic approach was an attempt to facilitate collective and collaborative work, focused on the creative use of culture and tradition today. The sound material was comprised of buddhist chants and instruments recorded in Kyoto, performed by monks of three different sects (Jōdo-shū, Tendai-shū and Shingon-shū). Recordings of the SHO instrument were performed by Tamami Tono, and provided by Professor Yoichi Nagashima who kindly allowed us to use them for this release.
