Prog. notes: Soundtrack for experimental film-maker Toshio Matsumoto. 'I have been convinced that the role of music for film must be accompaniment for the images. Consequently, the music here is sort of incomplete as independent music. However, I think that this CD is a document of how and what I had tried to explore in the field of film music in the '60s and '70s.' [Joji Yuasa] - 'as the title shows, music also is made through the technique of 're-reproduction'. materials are meaningless words such as interjections and conjunctions and the like, in english. begins with modulated and disrorted words through electronic means and gradually it becomes ro clear words which still are not making sense.' [Liner notes, CD]
