The album starts with the heavy sample mangling atmospherics of i should want to be alan lomax in new domain. We are then surprised by the song-ish guitar based piece medium's message. de-employed delivers us paranoia induced by arcade games. The at times almost pastoral 464 drifts half way between folk and electronics. requia for ethnic cleansing lulls us out with vocals in a language previously unheard, and just the slightest hint that things are actually very very wrong. An often beautiful and sometimes unsettling album.
Japanese musicians Takeshi.f and Ryuta.k have been collaborating as Overdose Kunst since 2001. They base themselves in Tokyo, Chiba and Hiroshima. They create experimental electronic and electro-accoustic music that they call "Post sampling kinetic nonhierarchical nonlinear nonequilibrium forth world muziq!". They run their own netlabel, Usyukuro.

Reviewer:usyukuro - - October 2, 2006 Subject: overdose kunst NIHONBAN NOISE-ART MP3S: Overdose Kunst is two Japanese musicians, Takeshi.f and Ryuta.k, who are well represented by a pair of recent five-track netlabel releases. moves easily from brash static to light field recordings to somnolent tunefulness, the highlight being the title cut, in which drowsy piano and a loping, skipped beat support a near inaudible vocal (MP3). And Non-Form Material Machine, on Postmoderncore (postmoderncore.com), ditches the noise in favor of something more folksy but at times no less discomforting, especially the tinges of backward masking that make "Requia for Ethnic Cleansing" (MP3) a study in motion sickness; there's some consolation in the mashed found sounds of "I Should Want to Be Alan Lomax in New Domain" (MP3). But even console cowboys get the blues, as evidenced by the guitar'n'clicktrack "Medium's Message" (MP3).
