Sphere within Sphere – 96/99
Sphere within Sphere
“96/99”
Formed by Hiroyasu Izumori (Isolate Line) and Yuusuke Shimosada (Sparkler), Sphere within Sphere are a Japanese duo who create immersive soundscapes, blending electronics with guitar textures, noise, and glitch.
The project centers on memory as a living presence rather than a fixed past. Referring to 1996 and 1999 as emotional coordinates, the work explores how vanished moments continue shaping the present.
Their music dissolves genre boundaries, balancing algorithmic structures with fragile human resonance. The result is a post-everything sound where abstraction and emotion coexist within shifting sonic spheres.
The artwork—a Polaroid held against a landscape—visually captures this layering of time, framing memory within observation.
