The second issue of 0g (zero-gauge), Yuzuru Agi’s first paper publication in about a decade. Agi is a music critic and producer, not only highly acclaimed as a visionary in today’s music scene, but also as the editor in chief of the legendary Rock Magazine, which still fascinates many fans today a vehicle of new sensations, featuring all cultural genres next to rock music, regardless of whether hi or low art, such as fashion, comic, modern art, dance, photography and film. He also founded Vanity Records, referred to as the first independent label in Japan.
-
In this issue, Agi attempts to reconsider artists such as those of the label Raster-Noton and Mika Vanio from Pan Sonic, both have been active since the 90s, as examples of “Contemporary Modern Music,” coined by Agi himself, and to position them between the contexts of Futurism, Dada, Structuralism, electronic music, etc. and recent music experiments by the up and coming production project Emptyset and the budding label Von, among others.
-
It features nearly 100 disks and Agi accomplished the whole editing and writing all alone in the last three weeks, before it was released at the event called “De/construct: Updating Modernism,” presented by 0g and IDEA.
