"Katowice" was recorded live during the spring edition of OFF Club (16.04.2011). 
It is a series of warm-up shows before OFF Festival, which takes places every
 first weekend of August in Dolina Trzech Stawów, Katowice (Poland). Limited to 500 copies.

"Katowice" is the title of a new live album from Merzbow & Balázs Pándi. It was recorded on 16th April 2011 in Katowice, Poland, and contains four improvised pieces clocking in about an hour. Limited to 500 copies, the CD will hit the stores in September, via Instant Classic label. It is the first volume of Outlaw Recordings - a series of live albums recorded in Poland.

"It was a great concert, great line up, and really great vibe, as usual every time I play in Poland. For me personally, this recording includes my favorite recorded solo piece in the set" - says Pándi. “We both like free jazz and heavy metal music, so musically it's more free improvisation / grindcore / free jazz direction than my solo works” - adds Masami.

"This set was particularly really great for a more straight-forward grind core type stuff. I would describe my playing as SBB influenced grind core here and the equipment and the crew being great definitely helped me" - remembers Pándi. How would he describe the music on this album? "Powerful creation through advanced communication". Well, there's not much to add here. ---instantclassic.bandcamp.com

A pretty intense live performance, definitely better than the incredibly weak Ducks: Live in NYC and only challenged by Cuts, which has some more interesting sonic textures, for the spot of the best of the recent series of Merzbow/Pándi collaborations available. This one spotlights the Merznoise half much better over the drumming, which while technically still impressive, just wouldn't cut it as a solo instrument. Also it helps a lot that the recording quality here is pretty solid; while unmistakably a live recording, the noise feels properly raw, sharp and crispy while still having a spacy enough quality to be able to distinguish what's going on without much trouble. ---nightwrath, rateyourmusic.com

"Katowice" to tytuł koncertowego albumu duetu Merzbow & Balázs Pándi. Jest to zapis występu, jaki muzycy dali 16 kwietnia 2011 roku w Katowicach, w ramach OFF Clubu.

Album zawiera cztery improwizowane kompozycje i ukazuje się w limitowanym nakładzie 500 sztuk. Premiera będzie miała miejsce 28 września i zainauguruje serię wydawniczą Outlaw Recordings, w ramach której będą się ukazywały wydawnictwa koncertowe rejestrowane przez krakowskie radio akademickie radiofonia.fm. Przedsięwzięcie ma na celu promocję twórczości niezależnych artystów.

- To był wspaniały koncert – wspomina perkusista Balázs Pándi. – Wspaniały line up i niesamowite emocje, jak za każdym razem, kiedy gram w Polsce. – Muszę też dodać, że w Katowicach zagrałem chyba najlepsze solo.- Ten materiał jest wyjątkowy jeszcze z innego powodu: można go opisać jako bardziej grindcore’owy od pozostałych. Swoją grę opisałbym jako grindcore inspirowany SBB – tłumaczy Pándi. ---serpent.pl

Japanese Noise musician Merzbow, whose real name is Masami Akita has been making noise music since the 1980s. The definition of noise is "a sound, especially one that is loud or unpleasant or that causes disturbance" Noise music uses noise as a resource in it's compositions. Merzbow can likely be considered the Godfather of Noise considering before him no entity was being labelled as noise music. The idea of noise music has been evident since the 1900's. Noise music can be traced back to 1912 in Italy where the art form futurism was conceived. Futurism has a focus on technology and the industrialization of then modern living. Noise music as an idea began with Italian futurist Luigi Russolo writing the book "The Art Of Noises" in 1913 where Russolo said "The industrial revolution will pave the way for future musicians to make any sound or timbre imaginable". ---simonnavakas.blogspot.com

Prodigious avant gardist electronic creator, Maurizio BIANCHI (M.B) can today be considered among the true leaders of subsonic-industrial electronic music. His first material published between 1979 and 1984 provide new musical forms of contestation and through pulverised-sceptical-asceptic sounds (bionic music). The main purpose was to compose massive, nuclear and apocalyptic musical manifestations that can infiltrate and disturb the empire of appearances, the repressive and dogmatic conventions. Great artefacts and electronic collages in "Symphony for a genocide" (1981) and "Menses" (1982)offer radical power electronic essays which are all about chaosmos, amorphism and plasticity. Some of his later works (M. I. Nheem Alysm, A M. B. Iehn Tale, 2004...) will carry on virtual soundscapes and abstract projections in order to renew with continuous sound forms, non abrasive electronic flux admitting micro-events, disintegrated elements and ephemeral minimal melodies. His music is a reflexive mirror, a vehicle to meditation about the darkest "hidden" sides of the existence and an opened window to the absolute. ---Philippe Blache, progarchives.com
