Masami Akita (秋田 昌美), (メルツバウ, Merutsubau) aka Merzbow,
Animal Rights Activist, Writer, and Musician, Emerges as Iconic Figure in International Noise Scene
Renowned for his pioneering contributions to the noise music genre, Merzbow (aka Masami Akita) has solidified his position as one of its most significant and recognizable figures. From his groundbreaking utilization of tape loops to craft expansive industrial landscapes in the late 1970s, to his transition to laptop-generated static noise at the turn of the century, Merzbow has consistently pushed the boundaries of sonic experimentation.
Modern Obscure Music is delighted to unveil Merzbow's debut release on the label, "Tsubute Mosaic."
