about

The Merzbow Archive series by Slowdown Records, which has released thirteen editions so far, enters its fourteenth edition. This edition contains a collection of unreleased recordings from 2014 that were performed using a sequencer. Performances in this style are included in previously released works such as Nezumimochi (Cold Spring, 2014) and Wildwood (Dirter Promotions, 2015). The sequencer used is Dwarfcraft Devices' 8-step sequencer The Pitch Grinder. The six albums that make up the series are titled Double Beat Sequencer Vol. 1~6, where ''Double Beat'' is the name of Merzbow's favorite Roland AD-50 Wah Fuzz pedal.
This album, Double Beat Sequencer Vol. 6, contains two performances recorded in July 2014. In the first track, the performance is full of ups and downs, including a chaotic scene with repetitive sounds running side by side in addition to those generated by the sequencer, a hard techno-like scene, and a break-like scene where the sequence stops. The second track has a strong techno aspect, and in the second half, the sound of his own instruments is percussively played along with the sequence. Both performances have frenetic moments, but at the same time, they give a tight and coherent impression.
