Merzbow: Two shows in NYC [Sep. 23rd & 25th]
Merzbow (メルツバウ) is the main recording name of Japanese noise musician Masami Akita (秋田 昌美 Akita Masami?). Since 1979 he has released in excess of 350 recordings on numerous independent record labels.
The name "Merzbow" comes from German artist Kurt Schwitters' artwork, "Merzbau”. This was chosen to reflect Akita's dada influence and junk art aesthetic. In addition to this, Akita has cited a wide range of influences from progressive rock, free jazz, modern classical and musique concrète to BDSM and Japanese bondage.
More recently he has been inspired by animals, animal rights and environmentalism.

23 Sep at Issue Project Room, NY
