@schamspeare noisembryo was recommended. i dig the first track
i'm new to #noise music and i discovered #merzbow while browsing japanese musicians on bandcamp. read up a litte, but not enough to get sense of the range
with so many albums, surely there's a wide range of sounds, moods, styles... no?
holy shit where does one start with #merzbow?
first up: #noisembryo
then i'll try the first release, then the latest release

Since I was so annoyed by the incomplete Merzbow Mercurated double LP reissue on #Urashima, I found a not too expensive used CD instead (at least a lot cheaper than the LP, including shipping).
I find that extreme harsh noise sounds better on CD most of the time anyway, and this is really some of Merzbow's more brutal work.
Also, the LP version seems to lack the shininess of the CD cover.

Roh mais si je peux vous faire écouter, grâce à un #mastofou anonyme qui m'a mis sur la piste :

là, à l'instant même j'écoute The Last Shade Of Evening Falls 3/4 disponible à l'adresse ci-dessus. Mais bon, je préfère vous prévenir : Vianney, à côté, c'est un peu Taylor Swift quoi. SI vous comprenez ce que je veux dire.
@waldokanto , connais-tu ce musicien japonais qui a aussi travaillé avec #Merzbow ?
#BandcampFriday #Helicopter How about a mail art collaboration between #SissySpacek and #Merzbow? https://helicopter.bandcamp.com/album/coronado
