Merzbow

Merzbow Australia 2026

With Special Guest : Lawrence English

For almost five decades now, Tokyo based artist Merzbow has held the undisputed position as the iconic forefather of
noise music. His work, which catapults the listener into an utterly unfamiliar but wholly compelling cosmos of sound, has
grown over time to represent one of the most fully realised and utterly personal music projects to have emerged in
contemporary sound. Merzbow’s concerts are the stuff of legend, they exist as a near transcendental experiences where
the body and the ears are consumed by a mass of sound the likes of which are almost impossible to describe.
Merzbow’s music is a full spectrum eruption, a pyroclastic cloud of sound within which unknown pleasures lie. It’s a total
music, a profound rendering of sound at its deepest, densest and most profound.

Merzbow is joined by fellow vibrationalist and lightning strike survivor Lawrence English. Known for work that tests at the
very edges of harmonic ambience and low energy sound pressure his live performances evoke a sense of unerring
speculative atmospheres, a dense and physically affecting sonic fog.
