Merzbow takes the junk of sound and transforms it into blistering noise assaults with an incredible spectrum and impact.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
‘Ten Pieces in the Form of Painful Variations’ for piano, an impossible score that looks like a grapeshot musical stave, a text of barbed loathing and doubt – an anti-composition.

Ken Jacobs chats to Edwin Carels: Edwin is a curator based in Ghent, responsible for some fantastic programmes of experimental film and art at the Rotterdam Film festival (amongst others).
