Digitally remastered, this unadulterated epic of minimal techno was recorded byElin, who also functions as auto repeat on ssr/crammed. if 2 mazk [masami akita & zbigniew karkowski] - 55' 30" 3 tracks Barcode number 5027803330221 mazk is a new group consisting of Japan's Masami Akita of the now household name Merzbow and Tokyo resident Zbigniew Karkowski, sound and performance artist and once of PHAUSS and The Hafler Trio. There are three tracks: 1 visible 10:51:23 [ma, zk] 2 transparent 24:27:00 [ma] 3 exposed 19:59:02 [zk] The first is a collaboration, the second is mixed by Akita and the third by Karkowski. The CD was recorded at icc/ntt studios, Tokyo and is limited to a thousand copies. Those of you familiar with the recent releases of merzbow will notice that this is different: instead of the brutal harsh metallic assult, mazk have chosen a warmer nasty noise mixed with sub and low frequencies (more digital than analogue), a kind of sour-techno-hyper-noise - arrrghhh... !!!
