Merzbow (aka Masami Akita), Animal Rights Activist, Writer, and Musician, an 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."
