MIMINOIMI podcast #24
- Halfway to Silence -
by Leo Okagawa

In my activity, I create works by combining different kinds of sounds. Multiple layers and changing scenes make complexity and stories. I like to create a continuous dynamic story and a stream of consciousness in my work.
This time also I mixed pieces of various styles, such as field recordings, sound collages, electroacoustic sounds, and improvisations. And some of them are taken from the catalog of my own label "zappak".

私は自身の活動のなかで、異なるものを組み合わせて作品を制作しています。複数のレイヤーやシーンの転換は、複雑さやストーリーを生み出します。作品のなかにひとつづきの動的なストーリーを組み立てること、意識などの流れを生み出すことを私は好みます。
ここでも同様に、異なるスタイルのピースを混ぜ合わせてミックスを作成しました。フィールド・レコーディング、サウンド・コラージュ、電子音響、即興演奏などのピースが用いられており、自身のレーベル"zappak"からの作品も含まれています。

Leo Okagawa is a sound artist based in Tokyo, Japan. He started recording environmental sounds in 2014, and around that time he started making multilayered collage works from elements of recorded sounds, analog machine’s noise, and simple electric tones. His works were released from the labels in many countries.
He has also been working on an improvised performance since 2017. Using some electronic devices, he explores the structural possibilities of sound through the combination of simple tones.
In 2022, he started his own record label, “zappak”, and has been publishing music by other artists on CD. In addition, as one of the label’s activities, he also organizes live performances for other artists.

東京を拠点とするサウンド・アーティスト。2014年よりフィールド・レコーディングをはじめ、ほぼ同時期より、録音した素材やアナログ機器のノイズ、シンプルな電子トーンによる多層的なコラージュ作品の制作を開始する。これまでに国内外さまざまなレーベルより作品が発表されている。
2017年からは即興によるパフォーマンスもおこなう。いくつかの電子機器類を使用し、シンプルなトーンの組み合わせによる構造的な可能性を模索する。
2022年には自身によるレーベル「zappak」の運営を開始し、本人以外のアーティストによる作品をCDで発表している。レーベルの活動の一環として、他の演奏家によるイベントの企画もおこなっている。

#24 - Halfway to Silence - by Leo Okagawa

On hour without interruption at dawn at the Etang des Landes (Creuse, France). Already many bird species for the season. Water birds, then when the light comes on, a few forest birds. Small mammals rummage through tufts of dry grass near the microphones. In the distance, sometimes, flocks of birds take flight like a low hum.

Recorded on March 9, 2025 with a Nagra LB and a pair of Sennheiser MKH8020 in AB.

Sounds Of The Park: 17th March '25

I Fold

SORN is excited to present the debut 12" EP from d. towärds, Rephlex EP, a bold and captivating exploration of sound. Spanning tracks crafted between 2021 and 2024, the EP offers a unique blend of minimalist, dub-inflected textures, creating unpredictable sonic landscapes that constantly evolve.
The tracks are stripped down, often reduced to mere echoes and ghostly pulses, yet there's a tactile weight to the production that pulls the listener in. This is dub in its most abstract form: a deconstruction that shifts the focus from rhythm to texture, from structure to atmosphere. The result is a work that feels both timeless and dislocated.
With nods to the experimental rigor of Pan Sonic and the icy precision of Raster-Noton, Rephlex EP is less an homage and more an interrogation.
