I suggest giving 1930 a listen. It's still his harsh noise, but its
very well done. It's true the earlier works were a bit more noise for
noise's sake. Personally I feel he's lost his intuitive sense of
sound manipulation a bit when switching to laptops, but he's
regaining it more and more with every release. A Taste Of.. on Mego
is not so great IMO, but recent works like Animal Magnetism are quite
good.

i was always turned off by the all out unrelenting onslaught of
noise in his early works (i know- thats precisely what some folks
like in him, but i never did. i found it boring). But it seems he
has become more eclectic in his approach since he started using
laptops and such (animal noises! field recordings! combine that with
well orchestrated noise and now hes talking...)
just my taste buds-

Hello Microsound list!
I used to lurk on this list a few years ago and have signed up
again after realizing that I listen to an enormous amount of
microsoundy music these days, not to mention my recent
experimentation with Max/MSP and SoundHack...
And here I see a post related to Merzbow in the first digest I
receive. Now I understand that Merzbow might be a bit on the
loud obnoxious side compared to Richard Chartier or Bernhard
Gunter, but he does use a pair of powerbooks and max/msp,
reaktor, peak, etc, these days, so hopefully at least a few
people on this list will find some use of my Merzbow annotated
discography site:

Thanks,
Anthony
