Noise
In October 1989 Merzbow visited The Netherlands by invitation of V2
(where I was a volunteer back then) to play three concerts: at V2, one
at Ekko in Utrecht and one in Diogenes in Nijmegen. Diogenes was a
student club with too much money to burn from last night boozing, so
they organized the most crazy events. That particular week they had a
perversity festival. The Haters played, Die Form also and an incredible
film night which was much rumored about, but in fact not many people
saw - I was there. Anyway Merzbow played on tuesday as a duo (Masami
Akita & Reiko), since K. Mizutani was to arrive later - he went
along to the fourth concert, in Bordeaux. Tuesday was also the day I
had my radio programm at the local illegal radio station, Radio
Rataplan. Masmai agreed to play a concert with me, as Kapotte Muziek,
roughly about forty minutes. ...
