Tsubute Mosaic

Merzbow's latest offering, Tsubute Mosaic, is a sonic behemoth that defies conventions and pushes the boundaries of experimental music. Released on 31 January 2025 via Modern Obscure Music, this 36-minute album is a masterclass in aural manipulation, seamlessly blending drone, noise rock, and free jazz elements with dark ambient and industrial undertones.

The album's two-part composition, 'Tsubute Mosaic, Pt. 1' and 'Tsubute Mosaic, Pt. 2', is a testament to Merzbow's avant-garde approach, creating a soundscape that is both challenging and mesmerising. With his signature use of distortion and dissonance, Merzbow crafts an intense and immersive experience that will leave listeners on the edge of their seats.

Tsubute Mosaic is a bold statement from an artist who has consistently pushed the limits of what is possible in music. Merzbow's innovative spirit and uncompromising vision have resulted in an album that is as fascinating as it is unsettling, making it an essential listen for fans of experimental and avant-garde music.
