Masonna: 40 Years of Music You’ll Probably Hate

This is Masonna… and his music is not for the faint of heart. For over 40 years, Japanese artist Masonna has been creating some of the most intense, chaotic, and extreme sounds ever recorded. He's a Noise artist. So why do people listen to Noise? Isn't it just ... noise? In this video, I dive into the world of noise music, the underground Japanese scene, and the story of an artist who’s spent decades pushing sound to its absolute limits. You might hate it… but who knows - you might love it.
