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.
This album, Seven Sides, contains two performances recorded in June 2015. All of the material is previously unreleased, but the second track, "15-6-2740," has been used as collaborative material in the past. Along with the first track, which is about 16 minutes long, and the second track, which is about 28 minutes long, the performance is long and has various developments. The second track, in particular, is a powerful performance of highly tense, compulsive harmonic drones, pulses, noises, and repetitive sounds in a multi-layered manner, creating a maximalist sound (which makes it hard to believe that it was used as material for a collaboration).
