Merzzow
Merzzow is an album by the Japanese noise musician Merzbow. The album "combines animal concepts and deconstructions of 20th-century music, ambient drones and a deep grinding groove". The title is a pun on Merzbow and the Japanese word .
The cover photos were taken at Tsukiji Hongan-ji. "Elephant Song" features a guitar loop that resembled the Japanese children song "Zō-san", hence the title of the album. "Music Machine" samples the song of the same name by Jane. " Humming Bird" had been released as a single, it samples "Three Little Orchestra Pieces" by Arnold Schoenberg (conducted by Robert Craft).
