For few years now KKNULL and THENOISER had been playing together through Europe giving their best version of a new noise and contemporary music mixing critical beats,
electroacoustic composition combined with improvised sound poetry and extreme post-punk. This first album of their collaboration, released by Monotype Records, is a glimpse of their relation to live acts and studio recordings, it had been composed and played in both situation.

KK NULL
(KAZUYUKI KISHINO) was born in T okyo, Japan. Composer, guitarist, singer, mastermind of ZENI GEVA and electronic wizard. One of the top names in Japanese noise music and in a larger context, one of the great cult artists in experimental music since the early 80's.
In 1981 KK NULL studied at Butoh dancer, Min T anaka's "Mai-Juku" workshop and started his career by performing guitar improvisations in the clubs in T okyo. He
continued by collaborating with MERZBOW for two years, and joining the band YBO2 (with Masashi Kitamura, the chief editer of "Fool's Mate" magazine and T atsuya
Y oshida, the drummer of RUINS) and starting the improvised noise/rock trio ABSOLUT NULL PUNKT (with Seijiro Murayama, the original drummer of Keiji Haino's FUSHITSUSHA), and also GEVA2 (GEVA GEVA) with Ta t s u y a Yo s h i d a ( RUI NS ) a n d E y e Ya ma t s u k a (BOREDOMS).
In 1985 he established his own label NUX ORGANIZA TION to produce & release his own works and subsequently the bands such as MEL T-BANANA and SPACE STREAKINGS.
He also produced the series of "Dead T ech" (compilation albums by Japanese bands) which heralded Japanese alternative music boom internationally from the early 90's
to date.
In the early 90's he gained world-wide recognition as the mastermind, guitarist and singer of the progressive hardcore trio ZENI GEVA with their extremely heavy
sound, r eleasing five albums produced by STEVE ALBINI (two on Jello Biafra's Alternative T entacles label) and a few more on other labels such as NEUROSIS's Neurot
Recordings. Also ZENI GEVA recorded twice for JOHN PEEL SESSION on BBC, and immensely toured throughout Europe, USA, Australia, New Zealand and
Japan, playing hundreds of concerts.
After playing the guitar as his main instrument for some twenty years, KK NULL has gradually moved towards a more electronic approach. In recent years he has
concentrated his efforts on his solo & collaborative recordings, exploring the outer territories of electronica, creating intense clashing wave of noise, structured
electro-acoustic ambience, broken down rhythmics, scattered pitch sculptures, droning isolationist material which could be described "cosmic noise maximal / minimalism".
At present KK NULL has more than 100 titles of recordings released (inc. solo, bands, collaborations, compilations).

THENOISER – (JULIEN OTT AVI)
A mediactivist, artist-researcher, composer / musician, poet and tongues destroyer, experimental film maker and anarchitect, founder and member of Apo33, Julien Ottavi is invol ved in research and creative work, combining sound art, real-time video, new technologies and body performances.
Since 1997, he develops a composition work using voice and its transformation through computer . Active developer of audio/visual programs with Puredata, he has also developed since many years DIY electronics (radio transmitters, oscillators, mixers, amplifiers, video transmitters...etc) in the perspect i ve of knowledge shar i ng on technological development. Main developer for the Gnu/Linux operating system APODIO for digital art and A/V & streaming diffusion.
His practices is not limited to the art spheres but crosses ifferent fields from technological development to philosophy / theoretical research, biomimetic analysis & experimentation.
Since many years he reflects on the relations between experimental practices and collective practices within the creation of autonomous collective groups, putting in question the authorship strategy of the "art ideology".
Julien Ottavi is part of a generation of audio artists to emerge in the 90\`s that indicated some of the directions that music and soundart is taking. Whil e at art school, he organized a series of concerts, bringing international artists from the experimental scene to Nantes, drawing touring musicians to movements happening outside of Paris. This became not just a destination but a nexus for collaborations. This resulted for exampl e in the group Formanex to perform graphical scores of electroacoustic music, and in Apo33, an artists collective to facilitate, nurture, and disseminate creative audio practice. In this way, Julien represents the energy and initiative of a present day artist - activist through practice, organizing as performance, publishing as networking, open source and open aesthetic. This fluidity of working across boundaries of styl e and rol e are seen in his music, physical with computer, performative and reflective.
