Merzbow's music often serves as an overwhelming auditory experience, blending chaotic sounds that evoke stark emotional reactions. Individual listeners may experience different emotional connections, illustrated through specific moments in tracks like "Sedonis B" and "Monolith 4". The intense contrasts between harsh noise and unexpected melodies create a profound listening experience. In current times, many listeners are drawn back to this raw sound, which contrasts with the calmness of ambient music, as a means to address rather than avoid anxiety, facilitating a space for unresolved emotions post-experience.
Merzbow's music has always been a series of Rorschach tests, often moving at such high speeds you can barely register them.
The music permits an overwhelming experience that feels good, allowing listeners to confront rather than escape their anxieties.
Amid harsh sounds, moments of brutal bass tones and high, piercing tones create a striking contrast, eliciting visceral reactions.
Playing Merzbow's work loudly in intimate spaces after long days of bad news becomes a means to confront one's emotions.
