Dataplex

Dataplex (stylized as dataplex) is a 2005 album by Japanese sound artist Ryoji Ikeda.The first 19 tracksoriginate from tiny flecks of noise, clicks, and pulses of pure sine tones ranging from dogwhistle-high to bowel-shakingly low. They’re arranged with surgical precision into short slices of minimalist art-techno; funky in a very cerebral, molecular sort of fashion.

This is a good example to argue the point in my thesis that the large-scale sound shifts on the album reflect the quest for imperfection and irregularity in the wabi-sabi aesthetic.
