Label: 13

Merzbowが遂にイタリア13に登場！！Broken Flag、ADNにも音源を残した1985年結成のイタリアン・プロジェクトSigillum Sのメンバーとして活動、その後90年代後半より本名での活動を始動、Sub Rosaを筆頭に多くのレーベルより音源をリリースしているEraldo Bernocchiと制作した共作。野生動物が人間の都市に移住するというイメージで作られた面白コンセプトの音源であり、高密度な構造にも関わらず細かい音の動きやクールな反復、メロディックなアプローチも出現する躍動感の強い高内容。300部限定。



"Patterns and Mechanisms", Eraldo Bernocchi and Merzbow's first album together, was written and recorded during the lockdown. Both artists exchanged audio files and ideas fascinated by the phenomenon of urban wildlife where wild animals decide to relocate, or establish home in our cities, the album is just two long pieces.

Despite being dense and noisy, "Patterns and Mechanisms" has a 'melodic' approach to composition, with Merzbow's noise assault conjugating with Bernocchi's music.

The outcome is a sonic journey across concrete horizons, dystopian landscapes, and new species, all while being amazed by how nature reclaims her domain for good thorough a slow and persistent displacement of biological living organisms.

Published by the renowned Silentes in a special packaging conceived by Petulia Mattioli, it is limited to 300 copies.
