A double CD album from Merzbow released by Cold Spring.
Press-kit: A documentation of prolific Japanese noise master Merzbow's double show at London's Cafe OTO in October 2016. Rhythm-driven and rammed with highly sculpted frequencies, Akita's sound is entirely remorseless. Furious squalls and delicate sine-warps post this one on the more psychedelic end of Akita's output. Truly relentless, it is still hard to believe he created "Untitled Knife I" on a casual Saturday afternoon. Be careful with that volume... "Performed on what looked like a hand-built guitar-like instrument and aided by a table full of electronics, all controlled by the legendary Japanese artist. The concert was very much about the physical impact of the sound. At several points during the set I could feel the fabric of my jeans and jacket vibrating from the extreme frequencies played at excessive volume... an intense and constant sonic attack" (Irregular Notes On Music). Double CD in a matt-finish gatefold ecopak with photography by Masami Akita.
Second and final collaborative work by MB [Maurizio Bianchi] & MO [Mauthausen Orchestra], recorded before the premature departure of Pierpalo Zoppo the man behind Maurhausen Orchestra (R.I.P.).
Dictatorship of Dead Labour is a collaborative release that features the imaginative efforts of Birmingham's visual/installation/conceptual artist Justin Wiggan's solo noise project Roadside Picnic and Maurizio Bianchi (M.B.), an Italian pioneer of industrial music. This intriguing project marries sound experimentalist Justin Wiggan's immersed expedition...
These 5 different sounding tracks start off with the gentle buildup of low-range vacuum-like hums that form the basic textural sound ambience. The overall electro-acoustic landscape gradually gets engulfed by the incessant build up of raw rhythmic drones with occasional minimalistic feedback noise and snippets of film dialogue. The unsettling...
Brand new subtle work by Maurizio Bianchi exploring the noise cosmos: deep space ambient noise as only he can produce, not unlike early Lustmord or Inade.... Dedicated to the memory of Aube (Akifumi Nakajima 1959-2013) Mastered by Siegmar Fricke Limited to 100 copies in an elegant flat cover package
One of Merzbow's more oppressive post-2000 releases. Even if it's still far from topping them on the intensity scale, SCSI Duck seems to bleed a certain ideology of relentlessness and consistent loudness of his mid-90s albums such as Pulse Demon into the workings of his contemporary Macbook ways. Opening with a deceptively low-key experiment with prepared...
The incredible power created by GENESIS BREYER P-ORRIDGE (Psychic TV / Throbbing Gristle) - the founding father of the Industrial world, and MERZBOW - the undisputed king of Japanese Noise.
