Album Notes & Community Reviews

Masami Akita dives deep into analog sound collage and extreme frequencies on this early cassette release. 'Material Action for 2 Microphone' relies heavily on tape manipulation, raw feedback, and repurposed audio scraps to construct a chaotic, disorienting soundscape. It stands as a pivotal early artifact in the development of the uncompromising Japanese noise genre.
