Merzbird (Important Records, 2004) stands among the most celebrated laptop-era releases. This "Variation" offers alternate perspectives on that material - different plumage for the same sonic creature. Bird imagery connects to Akita's growing animal rights consciousness while invoking bird-inspired composition traditions from Olivier Messiaen to contemporary field recording.
The bird represents freedom, flight, song - yet also vulnerability, threatened ecosystems, species extinction. Merzbow's bird contains all these associations, singing harsh songs about liberation and endangerment.
