“The experiment wasn’t entirely successful.”
Named after a series of infamous faux-snuff Japanese video tapes, this experimental music project was about removing the composer entirely from the music making process, giving agency exclusively to audience members. As a young man at the time, I was nowhere near capable enough of actually making this happen, and instead what it consisted of was getting audiences to fill out a form, the details of which I would input into a synthesiser, before then manipulating the sound live.
