Originally released by Japan’s G.R.O.S.S. label as a cassette in an edition of 88 in 1994, and on Starlight Furniture Co. on vinyl in an edition of 222 in 2001, Loop Circuit’s Sound on Sound joins Akifumi Nakajima (also known as prolific noise artist Aube) with Dub Murashita (Hyper Ventilation) together in an all-electronic self-hypnosis seminar. Basing each of his Aube releases on a distinct and singular source (e.g. water, medical equipment, etc.), Nakajima’s “sound designs” range from subtle, ambient journeys to intense noise crash-landings; for this rare collaboration, he surfs a slightly different wavelength. The duo limits source materials here to purely electronic sounds, loops, and effects, creating a mesmerizing, constantly shifting mosaic.
