Controlled Death/mayuko Hino
Split Lp (pd)
Two giants of the Japanese noise scene present exclusive material on a special limited vinyl release. Controlled Death
is the nom de plume of Maso Yamazaki (Masonna), who unleashed his claustrophobic death industrial/blackened electronics
debut for Cold Spring in autumn 2020 (the sold out split LP with Rudolf Eb.er). 'Devil's Sacrifice' (in 6 parts)
continues Maso's obsession with heavy, Korg MS-20 drones. Deranged vocals choked under impenetrable, blood-soaked
atmospheres of doom, death and decay, saturated with washes of anxiety, paranoia and alienation. Mayuko Hino, 'Queen Of
Japanese Noise', delivers two lengthy tracks. While the first track is filled with feverish, dense noise and swathes of
savage electronics, the second, mind-melting electronic piece (reminiscent of her debut album 'Lunisolar' for Cold
Spring) descends into a diseased, suffocating maelstrom, finishing on the verge of psychosis. In addition to self-made
instruments, Mayuko plays noise with her six-theremin oscillators (in bright pink) - the one and only in the world,
specially made by Ryo Araishi (a.k.a. ichion). Mayuko is most well-known for forming C.C.C.C. (Cosmic Coincidence
Control Center) in 1990, together with Hiroshi Hasegawa, Fumio Kosakai and Ryuichi Nagakubo. Picture disc LP, limited to
400 copies in a heavy PVC archive sleeve.
