about

The Merzbow Archive series by Slowdown Records, which has released fourteen editions so far, enters its fifteenth edition. This edition contains recordings from 2014~2015. Since the previous edition of "Double Beat Sequencer" featured sequencer-based recordings from the same period, this edition collects performances without sequencers (although there are a few tracks with sequencers). Previously released original albums such as Wildwood (Dirter Promotions, 2015) and Torus (Jezgro, 2017) were recorded during the period overlapping this edition.
Persimmon Mask is a collection of five performances recorded in September and October 2015. All but the first track are compact, lasting less than 10 minutes, and the performances are narrowly focused, with noise plastered all over a canvas formed by cyclical undulating bass and drones. The first track, the only one that lasts longer than 10 minutes, is a wild drone intertwined with noise, and the way the noise cuts through the presence of the drone, which dominates the space, is one of the most notable tensions in the album.
