a tricky mixture of electronic industrial and orchestral arrangements with a very harsh and dark attitude - far away from the usual elements of club-industrial music - is performed by seij minus aç, a project of the japanese artist haj. the name, seij minus aç which is pronounced ‚siege minus sas‘, signifies a 'negative' scalar dimension beyond emptiness w/in 'desolate silence (seijaku)'. the characteristcs of the musical appearance on 'less physical vortex' may be described with key words such as complex electronic texture synth beat sound scape texture aggro-noise ethereal. it has emerged from a sole conception/manipulation of haj associating w/ invisible layers of agony, sorrow, fear, destruction, speed, light and their basis. since release, 'less physical vortex' got very enthusiastic comments from people who love composing-art, and also from the noise-industrial-scene because of the outstanding style and strictness of this album, ignoring all standards in temporary electronic industrial music by defining new high-level standards in combining rhythm, melodic composition and noise to a very dynamic opus. 'desolate silence might be the ultimate state of music.' in the last years the works by seij minus aç appeared on numerous compilation cds, and seij minus aç performed japanese voices on the song 'love kills!' by in strict confidence (germany). seij minus aç did two amazing live-shows in 2002 at leipzig (wave-gotik-treffen) and frankfurt (both germany), where the band performed their music with an exotic appeareance.
