Masami Akita aka Merzbow is the forerunner of Japanese electronic music, and is recognized as being one of the earliest projects in what has become known as "Japanese noise".

Richard Pinhas has released 15 albums, on Bam Balam Records.
This is a collaboration that works in the true sense of the word.

Richard Pinhas is internationally recognized as one of France's major experimental musicians: the 'father' of French electronic music. He was the founder of Heldon, a band whose violent fusion of electronics and guitar in the 70s rivalled the German electronic school.
Richard Pinhas has helped to define the Spacemusic genre.

This release will surprise a lot of people in its sheer beauty.
