Please note: This shop is our intermediate solution until we have our full blown shop up and running.
 

We are an official Amazon.com associate and through this page we offer you a selection of music at Amazon that we feel are either an adition to Japanese bondage (shibari/kinbaku) or bondage in general. We don't shy away at offering you music that we think are great inspirational resources either.

Artist Title Year
Masami Akita Music for bondage performance 1991

An unsettling mixture of noise and music with liner notes giving a detailed account about the different forms of sadomasochism from the Japan. It shows pictures and drawings as well to help illustrate the idea behind them.

It's not a total noise blast it's a little more pleasant but having said that it's still an abrasive mix and can create a god almighty racket but this is Merzbow and that's what we expect, don't we? I'm not going to say everyone should try this but is if you feel adventurous enough, get this album

Artist Title Year
Masami Akita Music for bondage performance 2, Ambient study for kinbaku-bi 1996

Music for Bondage Performance vol 2What makes the album good to listen to is that it is every bit as unrelenting as his power electronics, but a different texture altogether. It has the same menacing darkness as the first Bondage release. If Music for Bondage 1 was a spooky funhouse, then Music for Bondage 2 is a spooky roller coaster. You really want to get off but you came to enjoy the thrill. Really not dissimilar Music for Bondage Performance 1 except for the aggressive nature of loops. This disc's source material is more obviously found sound, while the first Bondage disc had a lot of recorded improvised tapes like the Ecobondage LP. Also the music on this disc is much more layered. The last track on this disc is a takeout from the first Bondage release. It can be listened to to compare the style of his late 80's early 90's experiments to his one's from 1993 and 1994. What a difference a year can make with Merzbow.
