Released through his possess CCI Recordings, the U.K.-based Touch label, and Staalplaat, among others, Ikeda's music engages the digital recording and production treat now, playing up insidious glitches and interruptions typically emended out of that action and combine them with deeply complex and disjointed collages of samples, pure tone electronics, and heavily treated digital noise. More recent releases get added elements of the experimental post-techno subgenre-scape to Ikeda's hard disk grizzle, with bits of jungle, nickname, and minimum techno cropping up between the crackles and whines. Vaguely related -- at least in spirit -- to American minimalist and computing device composer such as LaMonte Young, Steve Reich, Terre Thaemlitz, and John Bischoff, Ikeda's crop is as good in close harmony with German and Austrian post-techno artists such as Farmers Manual and Rehberg/Bauer, with whom he has collaborated live. Mostly unknown in Japan, his crop as a solo artist and in collaboration with Japanese audio/video company Dumb Type has gained him a wider audience in the U.S. and Europe.
