Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
An improvised film about our worlds at the brink, on the edge, in front of a crisis. To stand on the side of life, by seeing the resistance to genocide in Palestine as a turning point to overcome.
