Release dates are subject to alteration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn their third collaboration, the shared project between Merzbow and Pedro Vian shifts towards less confrontational and more introspective terrain. Bardo Thödol, released as an LP, draws on The Tibetan Book of the Dead not so much as an explicit narrative framework but as a conceptual resonance: a passage, a suspension between states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhere Inside Richard Serra Sculptures and The Wheel of Mani foregrounded a relatively defined dialectic between Vian’s environmental restraint and Masami Akita’s impulsive, textural excess, that friction here appears to dissolve in favour of a more homogeneous mass. Noise, far from its most abrasive edge, is reconfigured as a continuous field — dense yet permeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWithin this flow, melodic structures emerge without assertion, surfacing almost incidentally as by-products of the accumulation of frequencies itself. The result is less a reconciliation of languages than a blurring of\u003cbr\u003e\ntheir boundaries: a space in which intensity is internalised and the radical gesture folds into a more sustained, contemplative mode of listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist: A1.
