Masami Akita and Lasse Marhaug have been working together since the mid 90ies. In 2010 they finally got together to record as duo. Recorded at GOK Sound Studios in Tokyo the results can now be heard as "Mer Mar". Made using a combination of scrap metal screeching, analogue synths, and enough effect pedals to give you overweight with most airline companies, ‘Mer Mar’ is a tour de force for both of these noise veterans, hinting to some classic 80s Merzbow jams such as ’Material Action’.
