about

"From foreboding to assaulting in one cohesive and tension-filled listening experience, this latest body of work serves metaphorically as the soundtrack to a dystopian world where malevolent microorganisms and man are at war with one another.

The body experiences the increasing cacophony of the invading disease before an all out viral assault causes it to succumb. This is a dark, organic and punishing foray into ambient doom that then melds into caustic electronic noise walls and cascading waves of synthetic catastrophe; a piece experienced by The Listener who becomes the host to a malevolent pathogenic microorganism.

Taking place primarily in three segments, the first stage is exposure, the second stage is infection, and the final stage is death - marked by a flatline of near silence - then an abrupt, stark end. Experience through sound what a host body experiences. As the listener you are the host and this piece is the disease."

- Andrew Buchanan-Carter, September 7th, 2017

“...the pro-pressed cassette features two longform noise/drone pieces - both highly captivating and dynamic, cinematic even. The sonics, structural elements are diverse and slowly morphing - the pacing of the pieces is exquisite - we have an artist here with legitimate compositional abilities. I must admit that this was my introduction to the Masaaki Masao & I’m beyond impressed... Exceptional photographic art on the cover (of what appears to by sutures poking out of skin) by Carlos Melgoza (Anima nocturna), mastered by M.S. Waldron. I wholeheartedly recommend this release! Great job by the artist and label.”
