Merzbow

Feedback Purple Yellow

Tracked express shipping from Italy, no customs or import VAT in the EU. Shipping costs

Recorded as prototype material for the Here album (L. White Records, 2008) but ultimately unused. Deafening self-made instrument sounds run parallel with dull, boomy distorted noise, their synergy creating a strong sense of speed.

Very few sounds identifiable as laptop-generated appear—indicating increased analog equipment use following the 2005 transition. The "Etude" designation for three tracks suggests methodical exploration, studies in specific techniques. The color title evokes synesthetic experience: purple and yellow frequencies translated into visual imagination.

Credits: Composed, Mixed, Performed by: Masami Akita
Recorded 2007
