VINYL FORMAT. Inspired by Olivier Messaien's Catalogue d'Oiseaux, the Bird Series saw the release of one CD per month for 13 months, while a 14 th disc was released free via download to series subscribers and on CD-R with the purchase of Merzbow's EcoBag. This 15 th release is being issued on the two-year anniversary of the start of the series. Author, activist, painter, and sound artist Masami Akita has been at the foreground of experimental music for over 25 years. Inspired by psychedelic rock, free jazz, early electronic composition, and physical arts—especially Kurt Schwitters' Merzbau—he has created a musical language all his own.
