Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing Masami Akita's relentless exploration of extreme digital sonics, this dense release employs heavily processed synthesizer feedback and laptop manipulation. The Japanese noise architect constructs an overwhelmingly immersive wall of sound that, despite its abrasive harshness, occasionally resolves into subtle, hypnotic rhythmic pulsations.
