Executive summary: Merzbow, Destroyer of Worlds Father of the noise genre. Has authored dozens of records and tapes, as sampled in the 50-cd Merzbox, as well as being active in the Japanese S&M scene. Though he has lapsed into twiddly laptop-based noise, one can long for the days when it was just Masami and his wife banging on curtains of sheet metal.
Derives his name from Kurt Schwitters' shocking installation, Merzbau (1923-36), originally titled Cathedral of Erotic Misery. Wife: Reiko Azuma
