i listened to this in bed last night so i don't remember much of it, but yeah it's tape loops. so basically he finds an annoying noise and repeats it for 2 minutes, then switches to another annoying noise.
VERDICT: bad to fall asleep to.

day 3 end
i am clearly not going to get this finished in a week. 11/50.
ever since i have stopped listening to music outside of merzbow, i have woken up at 6am. it's kind of interesting to see that not listening to music in bed has affected my sleep patterns.
i'm starting to zone out to all of this.
i really would like to listen to something with melody / something that doesn't rape my ears.
after exams are finished i have a 6 day weekend so i shall probably use that to finish the merzbox / listen to music that is actually good.
i cannot continue this track-by-track approach. disappointed that i didn't get very far but it takes up too much fucking time.
i feel a bit sick but i think that is just fatigue.

Expanded Music
M.F.S. W1 (18:59):
-i went to have a shower and left the music on Solonoise Part 3, and must have flicked over to check the track lengths. anyway this was on about 7 minutes after i finished my shower. no great loss.
i could hear it from across the room though. whoops.
-8:29: noise, noise and more noise.
-9:00: paused to go watch TV.
-10:33: a ton of sound drops out of my left headphone, almost thought it was broken. fuck you merzbow.
-17:31: this song is not very creative, i am quite glad that i didn't listen to it all.
Manipulation 1 (17:37):
-3:04: so... this high pitched sound has been repeated for the last 3 minutes.
-4:06: the sound moves into a higher pitch for 5 seconds, then changes back to what it was and gets louder. GENIUS
-13:47: i think it moved into noise at about the 7 minute mark? i've been completely zoning out despite the abrasiveness.
Manipulation 2 (5:29):
0:12: KSS SJDKR KSS KSSSSK SKKSSSS
...boring
Manipulation 3 (6:37):
-0:05: sampling of a party or something. so loud it clips a bit.
-0:27: SUDDENLY, KSSSSSSSSSSSSSH
-3:16: this sounds like youtube poop. PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN RIGHT HERE
Manipulation 4 (3:53):
-0:02: this kind of sounds cool. very loud but interesting electronics.
-3:28: this erupted into standard noise a while ago. seems like i'm becoming apathetic to it.
Manipulation 5 (2:51):
-0:05: beat is pretty cool. more boring noise.
-2:13: remove all the noise and this would make a decent breakcore track.
Manipulation 6 (2:15):
-0:01: SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-1:05: SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
-1:48: i think i heard strings somewhere in there...
Manipulation 7 (1:57):
-0:05: you know the drill
Manipulation 8 (5:46):
-0:02: straight away, there's some noise. this is deep and droney though rather than high-pitched and annoying.
-0:31: never mind, now it's high pitched and annoying.
-2:39: bored.
VERDICT: this album really lacks a shred of creativity and is just mindless. avoid.

Solonoise
Part 1 (23:56):
0:05: feedback right off the bat
1:23: fuck this shit
7:54: TIME FLIES WHEN THE SONG CONSTANTLY SOUNDS THE SAME!
12:13: I SURE LOVE UNLISTENABLE VIOLINS
18:00: off-key pianos
18:30: oh shit this is some hardcore tapping
20:30: now that the off-key pianos and HARDCORE TAPPING have been put together, it's actually pretty neat
Part 2 (23:41):
1:05: KSHSSSSSSSKHSKSHSKHS
9:41: i looooove white noise and guitar strumming
20:34: this is just really boring, fuck this song
Part 3 (22:21):
0:25: more noise! can't say i wasn't expecting it considering the album's title, but still. at least there's drums.
2:30: BEEP BEEP BEEP BOOP BEEP BEEP BEEP
6:40: this song is basically comprised of stupidly high pitched noises. impossible to concentrate at all.
11:23: noise is gone, replaced by something that sounds like a dying walrus. and tapping! boy i sure love tapping!
19:52: i guess the walrus is taking a very long time to die
20:17: FEEDBACK, DISTORTED SAMPLES AND POSSIBLY SCREAMING
VERDICT: frequently borders on obnoxious. avoid.

Yantra Material Action
THANK FUCKING GOD, A SHORT CD
Untitled 1 (11:25):
0:43: so far, ambiance.
1:30: bleep bloop
4:33: experimental guitar plucking that's reminiscent of the boredoms.
5:22: SUDDENLY, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
10:12: song finally calms down
Untitled 2 (2:52):
0:24: plinging guitars. noise has taken a back seat.
uh... that was basically the whole song.
Untitled 3 (1:49):
0:08: more guitars
1:19: this isn't noisy at all, somewhat enjoyable.
Untitled 4 (4:38):
0:15: completely uninteresting distortion
0:55: holy shit did he just sample someone saying 'nick'? I LOVE YOU MERZBOW
0:55: i skipped back and i am pretty sure the guy is saying 'nick'!!!!
3:07: this part isn't all distortion and is listenable electronic stuff.
Untitled 5 (1:07):
0:09: EEEEEEEEEEEE
0:30: violin nonsense, like a song on a previous album this reminds me a bit of hangedup.
Untitled 6 (8:41):
0:53: the song stopped for 3 seconds. silence is bliss.
1:45: neat percussion
3:10: *bing* tappity tappity tappity *bing* tappity tappity tappity *bing*
8:36: why does most of this guy's noise have to sound like a balloon being deflated?
Untitled 7 (3:54):
0:05: i swear i heard this same riff on untitled 3 or something
song ended pretty abruptly after more noise...
Untitled 8 (4:29):
0:29: sampling with static and distortion. same old.
0:50: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
2:41: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
2:52: WEEEEEEEEOWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEOOOOOWWEEEEEEEEEEEO
VERDICT: short, so it's better than a lot of what i've listened to so far.

Material Action For 2 Microphones
Hoochie Coochie Scratched Man (wat) (25:32):
0:10: weird indian sample or something
1:18: noise started a little while ago. weird high pitched sound that is very distracting at the moment.
5:14: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
16:15: i guess this is when merzbow decided that making decent music is for losers
20:38: for about 3 minutes a sound collage of god knows what (sounds like music from a 70's TV show) along with a pounding drum beat has been playing. it's still annoying but it's tolerable and more interesting than BWOOOOOOOM
New Acoustic Music No. 7 (23:59):
0:10: very distorted, decent guitar riff along with what sounds like broken glass.
0:41: sounds like he's sampling alvin and the chipmunks. but i think it's just jpop.
5:52: percussion that's distorted to hell along with some strings. not as bad as the last song so far.
20:54: the entire song is like the three snippets i described above. ugh. at least the jpop samples are pretty funny.
Yumin, Non Stop Disco (21:15):
0:50: hilariously distorted japanese rock song
6:51: PEW PEW PEW
10:39: this is basically a continuation of the last song... nothing new here, folks
VERDICT: starting to get very samey

day 2 end
shit i am really behind on this. only 7/50 albums completed, mainly due to the hour break... then it would still only be 8/50. i think my calculations were a little off.
doesn't help that EVERY SINGLE ALBUM IS AN HOUR LONG JESUS CHRIST
