GIMNOPEDIE 1/SATIE
Naohiro Ukawa's "GIMNOPEDIE1/SATIE" is composed of two parts: Part 1 is the scratching key note coupled with a scene showing a man screaming while his cheeks are being weirdly tugged from both sides, and whose face is completely distorted as if it were made of rubber. Part 2 is a blackout only with a title that appears in white onscreen. The sound continues. It made us focus on the sounds until we gradually noticed that the key note of the screaming voice is sampled to play Satie's Gimnopedie 1. (new)

Ukawa's one-hour experimental program 'Scanning of Modulations' (Viewsic/complete in 15 volumes) is now being rebroadcast. Boredoms's 'Super Seeeee!!!!!' (Warner Music Japan) directed by Ukawa in 1998 is now on sale on DVD!!!! The Boredoms' music clip 'Vision:Creation:Newsun' was invited to the Resfest Tokyo and Korea. Ukawa is now producing the new music clip for Yoshinori Sunahara (aka Marine), which will be released on DVD, and is also writing a book entitled 'Visual Alchemy' (published by Yosensha). The book is about DTV and music clips from the viewpoint of the history of experimental films!!!! Ukawa's first exhibition, curated by Noi Sawaragi, is postponed until 2001 since it costs hundreds of millions yen.
