| Notes: | Includes Macintosh ROM data (audio samples, movies, pictures, text) which includes this explaination:
This CD-R has two parts: a 60 minutes audio part, which notation is printed on the cover, and a data part, which elements are explained hereafter.
The audio part consists in several pieces composed between 1986 and 1996. They were gathered on five CDs: "Circle" (1986-1994, not published), "Dog" (1993-1994, not published), "Next Point" (1992-1993, Gallery Ham, Nagoya), "Deposition Yokohama" (1993-1994, Yokohama Museum) and "Statics" (1995, CCI recordings, Tôkyô). They appear on "Undirected" in the "ready-made" order of these CDs, which is related to the alphabetic order of their name ("Circle" and "Dog"), or the order of their performance ("Next Point" and "Deposition Yokohama").
These recorded compositions are mixed with samples banks triggered by a Max patcher on the same model as the "undirected.usnd". However, it didn't use the "usnd" object, but was connected to the MIDI-in (program changes, pitch, velocity, duration, controllers, etc.) of a Kurzweil/Young Chang K-2000RJ™. These banks were chosen according to their size (to fit the 16MB RAM of the K2000) and their presence in the pieces: they feature sound samples of former compositions, and new samples which appear according to the alphabetic proximity of their name ("ginza", "glocken", "gong", "hafen", etc.).
The 1996 "Undirected" composition intends to make clear how the compositional principles of all these pieces are interrelated.
Comes in Digipak format.
