OW1 JEMAPUR - Mode Cleaner
For Omen Wapta’s inaugural release, Japanese musician/sound designer/coder/producer JEMAPUR explores the far reaches of abstract experimental techno on his album Mode
Cleaner. Pulling from music that the Nagano-based artist made between 2016 and 2020, the album demonstrates JEMAPUR’s distinctive use of glitch, microsampling, live coding, and
granular synthesis techniques. As the producer explains, Mode Cleaner was made at a time when his subconscious was being drawn towards subjects like physics, geometry, murals,
ancient civilisations, the logic of nature, and the observation of the universe.
Intricate yet expressive, cerebral yet sensory, melancholic yet vivid, the Mode Cleaner album comes a decade-plus into JEMAPUR’s career of innovative electronic music. In 2019, he was invited to become an artist-in-residence at Amsterdam’s De School, where he was introduced to Omen Wapta’s Woody92.
