Keiji Haino / Merzbow / Balázs Pándi: Become The Discovered, Not The Discoverer

By MARK CORROTO

There are two ways to deal with an oncoming storm. One is to run and take cover, and the other is to confront its fury head-on. Sure, it's rare to require music listeners to plan a strategy before pressing play or dropping a needle to vinyl (this disc is released as a CD or 2-LP), but ...

Merzbow/Keiji Haino/Balazs Pandi: An Untroublesome Defencelessness

By MARK CORROTO

The often repeated refrain to a complaint about music is, “If it's too loud, then you're too old," doesn't apply to An Untroublesome Defencelessness by Merzbow, Keiji Haino, and Balázs Pándi.

But that is not what he is most known for. Rudd has been a jazz freedom fighter who made his bones in the 1960s, when Rudd collaborated with free jazz functionaries: New York Art ...
