{"product_id":"merzbow-marhaug-mer-mar","title":"MERZBOW \u0026 MARHAUG - Mer Mar","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Japanese noise artist Masami Akita aka Merzbow and Scandinavian noise artist Lasse Marhaug have been working together since the mid-'90s. The first release on Marhaug's (now-deleted) label Jazzassin Records in 1995 was the First Rock split single. In 2001, Merzbow and Jazzkammer (Marhaug's project with John Hegre ) released a live album. Later, Akita and Marhaug executed several live collaborations, but often with other artists such as Hair Stylistics and Jim O'Rourke . In 2010, they finally got together to record as a duo. Recorded at GOK Sound Studios in Tokyo, the results can now be heard as Mer Mar . Made using a combination of scrap metal screeching, analog synths and enough effects pedals to make you overweight with most airline companies, Mer Mar is a tour de force for both of these noise veterans, hinting at some classic '80s Merzbow jams such as Material Action . Recorded at Studio GOK Sound, Tokyo, April 7, 2010 by Hamamoto Yohei . Cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates \u0026amp; Mastering, Berlin. Cover design by Lasse Marhaug.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Editions Mego","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":48318432313563,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2295\/2925\/files\/DEMEGO025LP_PROD_48573218-ff21-4ee4-877f-5813ca272b79.jpg?v=1772566836","url":"https:\/\/www.fusetronsound.com\/products\/merzbow-marhaug-mer-mar","provider":"fusetron","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
