Travelling suggests movement through sonic landscapes - each passage a journey into unknown territory. The title invites traveler's mindset: openness to unfamiliar sounds, acceptance of discomfort, willingness to be transformed by the journey. This 1990 recording captures Merzbow testing new configurations in preparation for the decade's major works.

The traveler enters foreign territories without expectation of comfort or comprehension. Similarly, listeners approaching Travelling should abandon preconceptions about what music should be, allowing themselves to be transported through Akita's strange and wonderful territories. The destination matters less than the experience of passage.
