This table needs to be expanded using prose. See the guideline for more information.Merzbox is a box set compilation by the Japanese noise musician Merzbow, released in 2000 by Extreme Records. It consists of 50 CDs, spanning Merzbow's career from 1979–1997; 30 discs are taken from long out of print releases, while 20 are composed mainly of unreleased material. The box also contains two CD-ROMs, six CD-sized round cards, six round stickers, a poster, a black long-sleeve T-shirt, a medallion, and the Merzbook, all packaged together in a "fetish" black rubber box. It is limited to 1000 numbered copies.[5][6] Also available is a special edition with extra posters and two bonus CDs with remixes by Merzbow. A Merzbox Sampler was released in 1997.
The Merzbook, written by Brett Woodward, is a 132-page hardcover book with over 100 images. It contains an extensive biography, culled from previous interviews and articles, a new interview, and essays by Achim Wollscheid, Jim O'Rourke, Damion Romero, Eugene Thacker, and Jonathan Walker. Masami Akita provides extensive liner notes for each disc. The book was also released separately with the Merzrom included.
The Merzrom is an interactive multimedia CD-ROM, designed by Troy Innocent. A second CD-ROM contains various Extreme press and a catalog. The "Merzdallion" medallion was designed by Marcus Davidson. Art direction and design were by Doriana Corda. Audio mastering was by François Tétaz.
History
Extreme's original plan was to reissue Collaborative, their only vinyl release, for the label's tenth anniversary. There was then discussion of reissuing other early releases, with talk of a ten disc box, the number was finally set at 50 discs. The Merzbox was originally scheduled for release in late 1997, and available for pre-order, but kept getting delayed until it was finally released in 2000.[7][8] It was officially launched on June 16, 2000 at Sónar, Barcelona, where Merzbow also performed.
The Merzbox was exhibited at Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna from April 4–7, 2002. Merzbow performed opening and closing concerts. All 60 hours were webcast live.[9]
Between the final recordings of the set and it's release, Merzbow switched to using a laptop, having first acquired a Macintosh to work on the artwork for the set.[6]
Masami Akita has stated in a 2009 interview that he has enough unreleased material for another 50 CD box.[10]
