author, activist, painter and sound artist masami akita had been at the foreground of experimental music for over 25 years. inspired by psycedelic rock, free jazz, early electronic composition as well the physical arts, especial kurt schwitters' merzbau, masami akita has created a musical language all his own. merzbear is the sixth merzbow release in his utterly essential merz series. merzbear pulses and pounds with distorted droning heavy guitar feedback, pulsing noise-blasts and swirling analog sounds of akita's distinct ems sythi. like most of merzbow's recordings, merzbear is a significant document of his ever evolving improvisational style. slowly, he's been moving away from his pure laptop era and re-incorporating elements of his pre-laptop analog days with his homemade junk guitar, ems synthi and electronics. this hybrid sound brings the past into the present and pounds with total junk-collage dada urgency as only masami akita can do it.
