About this site: This site began as a project for MLIS 553: Digital Libraries at Rutgers School of Communication, Information, and Library Sciences. It is the result of a decade of Merzbow appreciation and is an attempt to make Merzbow's incredibly large body of work more accessible via an annotated discography and a classification system which groups albums by sound, theme, and production methods. Here is a photo of the site's webmaster (Anthony Saunders) with Masami Akita (Merzbow) at Tonic, in New York City, December 7th, 2002. Site design and web technology consulting by Matt Medeiros, who also manufactures music made to mosh.
