Partikel III represents the third and final installment of the
Partikel trilogy, a series of collaborations between Japanese noise god
Merzbow and Swedish electronic avant-garde artist
Henrik Nordvargr Björkk. The two intensely prolific noise masters again provided one another with source material, which each then processed, mangled, and reworked into new states of being. The four resultant pieces range in sound from caustic harsh noise to dark, brooding ambience, with a focus on subtle, slowly evolving electronics throughout. ~ Fred Thomas
