VIAN AND MERZBOW – Inside Richard Serra Sculptures – LP – Transparent Vinyl

LP – Limited Edition Transparent Vinyl. Only 300 copies in this edition.

Pedro Vian and Merzbow release their first joint work, an unbounded expression of creativity and experimentation. Over the album’s forty-minute duration, listeners can experience a blend of field recordings made by Pedro Vian at the DIA Beacon Foundation, specifically inside Richard Serra’s sculptures. These recordings are interwoven with the ambient percussion and melodies characteristic of Vian’s work, alongside the piercing and sharp frequencies produced by Merzbow, one of the most acclaimed artists in the global noise scene.

Inside Richard Serra Sculptures is both a complex and spontaneous piece, an abstract journey into the unconscious that may be difficult to grasp for closed minds. This work stands as a masterpiece of contemporary expressionism, merging ambient sound and noise in a way that challenges and redefines the boundaries of sound art. The collaboration between Vian and Merzbow is notable not only for its innovation but also for its ability to transport listeners to a space where sound becomes an immersive and visceral experience. The use of Richard Serra’s sculptures as a source of inspiration and sonic material adds a unique dimension to the project, emphasizing the interaction between physical space and musical creation.
