OUT NOW on bandcamp

vvekapipo is a dancer and composer based in Fukuoka, a southern Japanese city where various genres blend seamlessly. Exploring the role of experimental music in the club scene, he drops a new generation of noise music influenced by Japanoise and musiq concrete.

vvekapipo presents a meticulously curated selection of 10 tracks crafted from an extensive archive of sound materials, originally created for live performances. These compositions are constructed solely from processed and edited field recordings—no electronic instruments or synthesizers were used. Instead, sounds were layered, stretched, and reassembled to form intricate sonic landscapes.

By treating self-sampled sounds as if they were synthesizer tones, vvekapipo weaves a unique auditory collage, blurring the boundaries between organic and synthetic. The result is an immersive, textural experience that redefines the possibilities of sound manipulation.
