No Input Mixing Board vinyl

In a 2022 interview, prolific Japanese sound artist, drone-r (sonically, at least) and ambient explorer Toshuimaru Nakamura explained that if you connect the output of a mixing board to its input, warning signs flash and feedback ensues. "Feedback is something sound technicians want to avoid, but it sometimes makes musicians happy and excited. So, I did what the manual says not to do." Suffice to say, No Input Mixing Board, the album, utilises this technique and therefore has plenty of granular noises to get involved with, alongside abstract sounds and strange atmospheres. It's a work of serious conceptualisation, and belongs centre stage in minimalist camps. Diving in feels like going feet first into a thick soup of sonics, ears suddenly tuning into the timbre as much as the notes themselves.
