Notes on the recordings by composer (original Japanese, followed by English translation, lightly edited for clarity)
Pulse Demonは過去2回再発されているが、今回初めてリマスターを自分で行った。
元は1995年9月から11月にかけて録音された複数のDATテープである。トラック1
から5までが1本目、トラック6と7が2本目、トラック8が3本目のDATに収録され
ている。それぞれのDATはPulse Demonで使用した音源以外のものも含んでいた。
トラック6と7が一番後の録音である。Pulse DemonはRelapse Recordsからの2
作目だが、1作目のVenereologyがDeathMetalを強く意識して作った作品であるの
に比べ、Pulse DemonはよりMerzbowの自然体で作っている。私がEMSシンセサ
イザーを導入した初期の作品だという点もその理由の一つだと思う。
*** MASAMI AKITA (2022)
Pulse Demon has been reissued twice in the past, but this is the first time I’ve remastered it myself.
Originally multiple DAT tapes recorded from September to November 1995. track 1 to 5
5 are recorded in the first DAT, tracks 6 and 7 are recorded in the second, and track 8 is recorded in the third DAT.
Each DAT contained more than just the sounds used on Pulse Demon.
Tracks 6 and 7 are the last recordings. Pulse Demon 2 from Relapse Records
It’s a work, but it’s a work that Venereology, the first work, made with a strong awareness of Death Metal.
Compared to , Pulse Demon is more of a Merzbow natural. I used an EMS synthesizer
I think one of the reasons for that is that it was an early work that introduced the synthesizer.
