The evocative title conjures resonant strings and seasonal renewal - unexpected associations for harsh noise, yet characteristic of Akita's poetic sensibility. The harp represents ethereal beauty and delicate tones; by invoking it in a noise context, Merzbow performs characteristic subversion, finding harshness in beauty and beauty in harshness.
The "Spring" element suggests rebirth, new beginnings - perhaps reflecting Akita's sense that the late 90s represented a transitional moment, the end of one creative phase and the beginning of another. These 1997-1998 recordings capture the threshold of digital transformation that would fundamentally reshape Merzbow's practice.
