Ryoji Ikeda first emerged on the music scene in the mid 1990s with an eclectic approach featuring the art of the DJ and producing complex montages of surgical accuracy gradually stripped of all outside references. More recent works have moved towards abstract formalism, challenging perception, seeking extremes – infra-sound and ultra-sound. superposition, referring to quantum physics, is performance in diverse forms with a score/matrix for an original ritual.
