Masami akita, better known as japanoise legend
Merzbow, is no stranger to tigerbeat6, having
released his collaboration with zbigniew
karkowski on the label. The two artists
featured on this split cd are no strangers to
each other, either. Akita has been a regular
guest on kouhei matsunagaÆs projects, since his
well-regarded releases on mille-plateaux in the
late 90s. Noted for ôa bashful take on noise,
as opposed to the usual swagger prevalent in
the genre,ö matsunagaÆs cut-ups and textural
soundscapes have been hailed for occupying a
point between experimental electronic noise and
minimalism. His three-track journey through
ôthe garden of the earthly delightö is his most
ambitious composition yet, rewarding the
listener with a hushed quality and an
ear-popping space for silence that makes the
jackhammer beats that much more effective when
they enter, fattened with static electricity
and squalls of feedback. There is a calm at the
center of matsunagaÆs sound that allows for an
endless proliferation of tones, sure to delight
the pickiest consumers (noise and ambient fans)
alike, though at very different moments.

███▀ PURPOSE: ▀███
▄▓▀ ▀▓▄
hXc was founded with one sole purpose: to help unknown
and underground bands get the recognition they deserve.
If, upon listening to one of our releases, you decide
that you like a certain band, support them! Buy their
merchandise, go to their shows, help them out in any
way you can. We release for the benefit of the scene,
as we believe the mp3 format is an effective medium
for the discovery of new artists.
CONTACT:
If you can think you can help us in any way
(by providing us with rips, dumps, bncs, affils)
and would like to join a group of individuals from
around the world dedicated to the hardcore/punk/metal
us through the usual channels.
