Moving away from pop towards more marginal tastes is a newie from KK Null: "Fertile" aka Kazuyuki Kishino, ex guitarist now cult electronic sound artist bracketed alongside Merzbow in his explorations in noise and sound works. This particular set on Touch follows collaborations with Zev, Chris Watson and includes compositions as well as field recordings at Northern Territory in Australia. Expect micro/macro waves of dissonance, grains, pulses and heavy pulverising grind-pores punctuated by splintered fragments of molten metal, pure tone waves and what sound like the percussive sounds of insects in nature.KK NULL (real name KAZUYUKI KISHINO) was born in Tokyo, Japan. Composer, guitarist, singer, mastermind of ZENI GEVA and electronic wizard. One of the top names in Japanese noise music and in a wider context, one of the great cult artists in experimental music since the early 80's.Comfortable with layering & mixing different sounds from different locations and times, digital and analogue sounds into one piece. Kazuyuki came up with the idea of mixing field recordings taken from a trip Kakadu National Park in Australia into some of the unfinished tracks in the middle of working on this album. Imagine a magnificent symphony orchestra of insects, frogs and birds in wetlands just before sunset, trapped in a cage of digitalism.His intense clashing wave of noise, structured electro-acoustic ambience, broken down rhythmics, scattered pitch sculptures, droning isolationist material could be described "cosmic noise maximal/minimalism".
