We got together with Jesse Sanes (Cleanse, Liebestod) to watch the classic “Oh! Moro volume 5” VHS. It was cool to see footage of Osaka after having been there, let alone revisiting some classic noise sets from Merzbow, Monde Bruits, Masonna and more!
For the ExtraNoisextra on the patreon, we talk about the new Cleanse tape and how Greh and Jesse work together. This 20 minute segment immediately follows the episode on the patreon feed.
We are too excited for Japan so we delve into a classic comp that emanated out of Osaka — “Noise Forest.” A truly mandatory CD, “Noise Forest” brings together a powerhouse of early 90s Japanese noise stalwarts such as Merzbow, Masonna, CCCC, Mode Bruits and more. Traverse with us and get lost on the “Noise Forest.”
For the ExtraNOISEXTRA segment on the patreon, we go over multiple versions and sessions of Merzbow “Travelling” that was released by Slowdown Records.
This week we pay tribute to one of the all time noise greats: Shohei Iwasaki aka Monde Bruits. We get stung all over with his debut cassette “Portuguese Man of War” on Vanilla Records. We explore his world of noise, his influences and his legacy. Join us as we get lost in the Japanese noise forest with a true legend.
