"I use a microphone and a pair of headphones for my performance. Although headphones are often thought of as devices for ‘listening’ to music, for me, they are instruments for ‘performing’. In my performances, headphones are not used as objects that exclude outside sounds and cut off the spatial dimensions of the performance site, but rather, objects that work with the space itself. Sound enters through the microphones and exits via headphones, but this is not necessarily a unidirectional path. A sound will occur spontaneously by creating the entrance and exit. By holding and operating the headphones as output devices, I interfere, observe and sometimes even ignore the sound during my performance. The three sound-resonance pieces on this CD are the recordings of such live performances." Mitsuhiro Yoshimura
