This live recording from Metro in Kyoto captures Merzbow in confrontational performance mode. August 15 holds significance in Japan as the World War II end anniversary - whether intentional or not, this historical resonance adds layers of meaning. The date marks both defeat and liberation, ending and beginning.

Significantly, 2006 marked Akita's return to performing with analog equipment and live drums alongside laptop - a hybrid approach combining digital precision with physical immediacy.

Credits: Composed, Mixed, Performed by: Masami Akita
