This came out in 2003 and was probably one of my favorite new adds to KXLU for that year. It’s a fantastic mix of sound recordings, strange loops of all sorts of things, japanese voices and pretty little songs. It jumps all over the place, sometimes lulling you with repetition, other times abruptly cutting to something jarring.

From a page on her work at the Ars Electronica website:

Yuko Nexus 6′ account of how Journal de Tokyo was put together best sums up the nature of this recording: “I recorded a 45-minute session with my friend on a DAT tape, and then recorded many tunes over it. Our session got cut up, so you can only hear some fragments of the original. This is not only a CD but a cassette tape as well. You can hear some noises that are typical in cassettes from the good old days. Random order listening is also recommended.”
