Released to accompany the worldwide touring of Absolute Zero by Saburo Teshigawara’s dance company Karas, a number of international sound artists were invited to respond to the theme, ‘absolute zero’, with new compositions. This CD brings together eight artists whose work shares with Teshigawara’s sensibilities of concept, aesthetic and innovation. Since Saburo Teshigawara formed the dance company KARAS in Tokyo in 1985, the group’s aim has been to seek a new form of beauty, one that contains the essence of human existence in its natural and manufactured environment. In Absolute Zero, Teshigawara attempts to achieve the impossible quality of perfect stillness and order amid the chaos of the physical world.
