Room40:

"Recorded in 1996, Merzbow’s The Prosperity Of Vice, The Misfortune Of Virtue is one of a series of unique editions from his vast catalogue that reveals a side of his practice often under represented.

During the late 1980s and into the 1990s, Masami Akita was sometimes working on film and theatre music. In this space he created a series of recordings that capture the full scope of his sound worlds.

Given the nature of these settings, his compositional approaches were varied, seeking to create both intensely crushing walls of sound and more spatial, and at times rhythmic, pieces that plot out an approach to sound making which atomises his universe of sound, and uncovered the singular detail that is often consumed in the whole.

The Prosperity Of Vice, The Misfortune Of Virtue is the soundtrack to the theatre piece 'Akutoku no Sakae/Bitoku no Fuko' by Romantica. Based on Marquis de Sades's 'Historie de Juliette ou les Prosperités du vice' & 'Les Infortunes de la vertu’, this recording was originally released with limited distribution and remains one of the lesser available Merzbow recordings.

This edition is completely remastered and contains an additional cut from those original sessions."

I came to this book via the works of Nathaniel Mackay, who recommended Wilson Harris as an important\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003einfluence on his own creative writing.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhile researching further for myTropical Gothic project i came across another writer from Guyana, Edgar Mittelholzer, and his book My Bones And My Flute. The two books couldn’t be more different. Mittelholzer’s book is described as ‘a ghost story in the old fashioned manner’. While The Guyana Quartet is one of the strangest books I have ever read. A lot of the time I had no idea what was going on but its strangeness kept drawing me into it and onwards. It is extremely psychedelic and tropical gothic with an added healthy dose of quantum time. Sometimes the characters are both alive and dead at the same time.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe stories all takes place either in the Amazon basin\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e rainforests of\u003cbr\u003eGuyana or the Rupununi Savannah, home to a vast array of exotic wildlife which includes jaguars, sloths, monkeys, giant otters, tapirs, emerald tree boa snakes and more. I wanted this musical edition to be an aural reflection of the landscapes conjured in my minds eye as I was reading.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost of my samples and loops are created using a ukulele, my fingers, a metal hip-flask, (for rum), an empty St James Rum bottle, field recordings from Martinique, electric and acoustic lap steel guitar and a virtual pedal steel guitar.
