World As Will
*2022 stock. 100 copies limited edition* "I found an old CD-R seemingly containing the first live recording that i had made with Zbigniew in Japan. Somehow i tried to mix it.

The recordings are a remarkable performance in which each successfully highlights the essen…

Amlux
** Limited edition of 100 tapes, 50 on blue colored version (this one) and 50 on original colored version cover. ** Certainly Amlux is a very cohesive and well-constructed piece; starting more softly than usual, the record slowly builds into the chaotic harsh sound that Merzbow is well known for, but this time adding some actual recognizable music elements (like rhythms), and constructing various surprisingly well-texture soundscapes, that made of this album a more focused and immersive piece th…
