Other works include highly minimalist pieces for avant-garde dance, music for the video hall at the Science Expo, and—most importantly—works created using UPIC (a device developed by Xenakis that digitizes drawings and converts them into music), which marked a major milestone in electronic music. Composers such as Yuji Takahashi, Yoriaki Matsudaira, and Joji Yuasa also created works for this system. Unfortunately, UPIC was forgotten amid the rapid pace of digital technology’s evolution, but it is precisely this dazzling array of diverse concepts and techniques on the eve of the computer age that defines this era. This work serves as a valuable record of a time when private electronic music studios were beginning to spring up here and there.\nEditionOMEGAPOINT\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OMEGA POINT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53539265216801,"sku":"2050267155034","price":20.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/2050267155034.jpg?v=1789971020","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/en-be\/products\/2050267155034","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
