Qui est Merzbow?

Je cherchais quelques infos à vous transmettre sur Merzbow, mais, au fond, tout le monde est capable de faire une recherche sur Google. Vous pouvez toujours visiter son site web, consulter son wiki, lire quelques entrevues. En fouillant, vous serez sûrement aussi essités que moi d’apprendre que Merzbow est végétalien et milite pour les droits des animaux. Il semble aimer les poules et apprécier leur compagnie, aussi. Il a même écrit des livres! Des trucs de pervers, comme Bizarre Sex Moderne et Scum Culture.

Extrait d'une entrevue de 2004 :

"What kind of social status do you have regarding to your work?

I've been vegan for several years now. So... animal rights is one of the biggest topics for me. This is like if the human have rights, the animals should have rights as well. Being vegan means not eating meat, fish, not buying stuff made from animals. However if you try to do this sort of a thing in Japan - being vegan, not eating meat and fish - people will think of you as an unsocial person. In addition, eating culture is sometimes itself traditional thing, part of the social system and it holds a lot in economic world. So if you try to fulfil this, you'll feel isolated from normal social nature. However ... this sort of feeling,outsider from society,and stance helps me a lot at making music. I can say that the music which I am making at the moment is all based on this concept of animal rights."
