Merzbow and Balazs Pandi - Interview @ Scion Rock Fest 2012 (Scion AV) video free download

Merzbow and Balazs Pandi tells Scion AV about improvisation and the importance of paying attention to each other.

Masami Akita is a noisician from Tokyo, Japan. In 1980, he created an experimental noise project called Merzbow. His earliest music was made with tape loops and creatively recorded percussion and junk metal, Early methods included what he referred to as "Material Action", in which he would closely amplify small sounds so as to distort them through the microphone; later, he made several albums of "SCUM" ("Scissors for Cutting Up Merzbow"/"Society for Cutting Up Merzbow"), for which he would cut up previous Merzbow albums until they resembled something new.

He released his music on cassettes through his own record label, Lowest Music & Arts, which was founded in 1982 and then founded a second label, ZSF Produkt.
