Masonna

Yamazaki "Maso" Takushi is the birthname of Japanese noise music performer Masonna. This Osaka-based artist operates the Coquette Records label and also a member of the group Christine 23 Onna (along with Toda Fusao from Angel'in Heavy Syrup). He has an analog synthesizer project called Space Machine (around 1998). He was a member of the prog rock group Flying Testicle with Merzbow, as well as the Japanoise 'super-group' Bustmonster which included Akita Masami from Merzbow on drums. All of Maso's projects draw heavily from psychedelic music.
