"This is the debut album of Osaka-based sound artist Tetsuya Umeda (born in 1980).
Active mainly in the fields of sound installation and performance, Umeda presents works
that invariably explore the character of a particular space through physical phenomena
and electricity-induced minimal movement. Ocket is made up of nine performance works
produced and recorded in 2003-04 and featuring Umeda's self-made speaker tool. The
impression of viewing the sound from the space above results in an effect that is closer
to 'observation' than to 'performing.' Through this experimental endeavor, each track
attains an unimaginably beautiful, prismatic resonance. Stimulating." (IMFJ)
