Merzbow 13 Japanese Birds, Vol. 10

Japanese noise king Merzbow is currently at the tail end of his 13 Japanese Birds series. From January 2009 to February 2010, he is releasing one album a month, each one based on a different bird adapted from Olivier Messiaen's Catalogue of Birds. The series marks his return to analog sounds, and his debut as a live drummer.
