MERZBOW
JOHN WIESE
AKASHAPLEXIA
Akashaplexia is the debut full-length studio collaboration between Merzbow and John Wiese, recorded together in December 2024 at Sound Studio Noah, Tokyo, Japan, and is one of the most extensively detailed releases of either artist in recent years, both in ambition and presentation, packing over three hours of remarkable new material spread over four digestible album-length CDs, and housed in a gorgeous casewrap slipcase box set designed by Wiese.
To commemorate the release, a live concert will be held at Polaris Tokyo on December 20th.
Merzbow (Masami Akita) and John Wiese have a long history in both live performances and mail collaborations dating back 25 years which have resulted in a number of releases.
