about

'Merz' is a nonsense word invented by the German Dada artist Kurt Schwitters to describe his collage and assemblage works based on scavenged scrap materials.

Similarly the music and sounds in this album are collaged from various concerts and field recordings by Chris in 2018, making for c.50' of 'sound Merz'...
