about

A music CD organized as a collaborative project by Candy Factory features 16 tunes made by visual artists. 9 tunes made by Takuji KOGO who has been running the *candy factory as a collaborative platform since 1998. The tunes are mainly made for specific places during web or exhibition projects.
For example, 'Nexus World' is a soundtrack for a fake promotional video for a post-modern housing project in Japan. And the traditional Scottish song "False Bride" is being remixed for a promotional video project for a closed microchip factory in Halbeath Scotland, an unsuccessful joint venture between Hyundai and Motorola.
"Mall of America" or "As Seen On TV", these tunes are made from signs for a big shopping mall at Minneapolis published as a web project through "translocations" organized by Steve Dietz from the Walker Art center.
3 titles by John Miller, who's an artist based in NY and Berlin. Soundtracks for his photo series 'Middle Of The Day', entitled 'Pot Boiler' and 'Denim Girl', in collaboration with Takuji Kogo. He also contributed a new song titled "Butterfly's Funeral".
Martine Colompt is an artist based in Melbourne who participated in the "Gloss" project with candyfactory in 2002. For the exhibition at CCP Melbourne , she was inspired by John Carpenter's film "Village Of The Damned" and produced a video clip for her pop music titled "Spell On You"
"Spiritual Repose" by G. H. Hovagimyan. New York-based performance artist for digital communication. He contributes the song for a Candy Factory project "Think The Same" at the Total museum in Korea. The lyrics from "Praise of Shadow" by Junichiro Tanizaki.
A sound track "MOM SHE COOKS" by Ola Pehrson, an artist based in Stockholm is for his new project "cookbook" at IASPIS, Stockholm.
Tetsu Takagi also put his word sketches into synthetic voice performance too "GIRLS".
