Nam June's Spirit Was Speaking To Me is a hauntingly evocative project from acclaimed sound artist Aki Onda, blending experimental electronic and classical elements into a tribute to pioneering video artist Nam June Paik. Recorded across several years with a portable radio, the album conjures atmospheric soundscapes that echo the spirit of artistic innovation and communication through invisible channels.
This release is accompanied by a thoughtfully curated 20-page art booklet, featuring rare photographs of Nam June Paik on the set of Michael Snow’s film “Rameau’s Nephew” (1974), insightful essays on radio-wave phenomena by Onda and Marcus Gammel, and a heartfelt remembrance by Yuji Agematsu. With its intimate audio explorations and unique archival materials, Nam June's Spirit Was Speaking To Me stands as both a sonic homage and an invaluable document for those interested in the intersections of experimental sound and visionary art.
