Sweet. From the latest DTMG newsletter:
KIKURI [HAINO KEIJI & MASAMI AKITA [MERZBOW]] - Pulverized Purple (Victo 110; Canada) This dynamic duo live performance features two legendary Japanese noise giants playing together for the first time on the big colosseum stage up at the 2007 Victoriaville New Music Festival in Quebec. Haino played guitar, percussion, a theremin-like device & vocals while Merzbow played his computer filled with his own noise/feedback samples. It was pretty f**king scary and it is well captured on this great disc. The cover design outside and inside and out is also quite stunning.
bjork and merzbow could be cool - to give the merzbow some stronger pop compositional value, and she flirts w the idea of new electronics technology.
merzbow remixing more classical stuff like say xenakis ferneyhough etc would be good, not as loopy as before, but more extended interaction w complex classical stuff, though the minutae of merzbow aren't as complex as the notational information of that stuff (merzbow relies on the complexity of distorted timbre rather than v complex arrangement of events). actually merzbow w the scottish composer james dillon would be great, or horatio radulescu from romania/france - they're quite suited to his epic approach.
merz and public enemy could've been good at one stage long ago,
merzbow and acid mothers temple would be great! like imagine a pumping amt track w full on merzbow onslaught competing w kawabata solos.. that would be cool..

well i'd love for merzbow and haino to release something, it's been a long time coming and for fuck's sake they've had a duo project that tours and plays live, beginning in 2004 i believe, kikuri. i'd love to see that go ahead - the machinic merzbow thing w the emotional overdrive of haino could enhance that saturation in noise that i guess we all enjoy.
