Merzbow

Composed and performed on EMS and Moog synthesizers, Theremin, metal devices, noise electronics, and voice, all recorded at extreme volumes, 'Hybrid Noisebloom's five tracks present a fascinating sonic assault, heavily driven by the presence of electronic sounds, played against the sparse interjections of Masami Akita's heavily processed vocals, that push toward new territories of the extreme, while subtly nodding toward historical gestures from the early years of the avant-garde. Originally released in 1997.
