''Infinity'' is the third album by British-Siberian experimental music ensemble K-Space. It was released in the United States in August 2008 by Ad Hoc Records, an affiliate of Recommended Records, and was a new type of CD that is different every time it is played.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=K-SPACE group release first CD that plays differently every time )〕〔 "Infinity" will not work in a standard CD player and requires a computer to play it. Each time the CD is played, supplied software remixes source material located on the disc and produces a new 20-minute musical piece.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=K-Space: Infinity )〕 The CD cannot be paused or fast-forwarded, and there are no tracks to select. The only controls available are "PLAY" and "STOP".〔 The music produced by the CD is electroacoustic improvisation that is rooted in Tuvan shaman ritual music. ==Background== K-Space was formed in 1996 after a series of study trips to Siberia by Scottish percussionist Ken Hyder and English multi-instrumentalist Tim Hodgkinson. They were exploring the improvisational and musical aspects of shamanism when they met up with Gendos Chamzyryn, a shaman and musician from Tuva. Hyder, Hodgkinson and Chamzyryn formed K-Space to experiment with improvised music rooted in the Tuvan shamanic ritual. Their second album, ''Going Up'' (2004) was a sound collage of K-Space performances plus field recordings of shamanic rituals, manipulated and superimposed on one another. ''Infinity'' extended ''Going Ups production process and made it dynamic to produce a new mix with each play.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Infinity (K-Space album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
