Merzbow + MV Carbon and Philip White (First Set)
Masami Akita, born in Tokyo in 1956, performs under the name Merzbow. Taken from Kurt Schwitters’ Merzbau, or “Merz building,” the name refers to a building created with rubbish. Merzbow made his earliest music from tape loops, combined with creatively recorded percussion and metal, after which he began cutting up his old recordings in search of new methods of creation. He released his music on cassettes through his own label, Lowest Music & Arts, which was founded in 1979.
ISSUE Artist-in-Residence MV Carbon and Philip White will be opening for Merzbow before both performances.
