残響40秒超の特殊環境！ダム堤体内の巨大なコンクリート空間で録音された驚異の電子音響ダム・ミュージック！！

2022年某日、コンピュータ音楽のパイオニア的存在の米国出身作家＝カール・ストーンとプリミティヴで独創的な電子音を放つ音楽家兼美術家＝池田謙が新潟・新発田市の山奥に位置する「内の倉ダム」に招かれ、電子音楽の新たな可能性を模索するためにひっそりと非公開演奏された音楽実験の記録。中空構造のダム内部は高さ・奥行きとも約40mにもおよび、それ自体が巨大な共鳴装置ともなり、両名の電子音が無限に反響されながら空間を埋め尽くしていく。そこに水滴音、足音、会話、物音などあらゆる音たちも奏者として加わり、絶え間ない反響音と対峙しながら協奏され創り練り上げられていく電子と残響のフィルハーモニック・オーケストラ！！

[INTRODUCTION]
A super special environment with over 40 seconds of reverberation. Amazing electro-acoustic dam music recorded in a huge concrete space inside the dam.

One day in 2022, Carl Stone, an American computer music pioneer, and Ken Ikeda, a musician and artist who emits primitive and original electronic sounds, visited "Uchinokura Dam" deep in the mountains in Shibata, Niigata. This album is a record of musical experiments secretly performed inside the dam to explore new possibilities of electronic music. The dam has a hollow structure, and the internal space is about 40m in both height and depth, and itself is a huge resonance device. The electronic sounds emitted by Carl and Ken fill the space with infinite reverberations. All sorts of sounds such as dripping water, footsteps, conversations, and noises are added as performers, creating a philharmonic orchestra of electrons and reverberations that are created and elaborated while confronting the constant reverberating sounds.
