Cloud Cock OO Grand is an album by the Japanese noise musician Merzbow.[1] It was Merzbow's first CD and showcases his then-new harsh noise style.[2]
It was reissued in the Merzbox (2000). "Autopussy Go No Go" was included on the Merzbox Sampler.
Background
For the European tour of 1989, Masami Akita could only bring simple and portable equipment, this led to the harsh noise style that Merzbow became known for in the 1990s. Cloud Cock OO Grand was the first example of this new style, Merzbow's first digital recording, and the first recorded specifically for the CD format. It also includes live material from the European tour.[3]
But when I started live in late 1980's I didn't like to use tape on stage. I like only live electronics. So, my studio works changed to more live composition style. I'm still using many tapes in studio works, but difference is I treat tapes and instruments. Before, I used tapes as overdubbing concept. But now tapes are crashing together, no static overdub. I found that style on Cloud Cock OO Grand.— Masami Akita[3]
