1. When did you start making noise? What was the 1st K.endo release? Kazumoto: Basically, when I started buying and listening to noise I was always disapointed, so I decided to make noise myself as I thought I could do it better. I bought MERZBOW's "Cloud Clock OO Ground" in 1990 when I was 18, and it shocked me. That was the second MERZBOW release I bought, the first one was "Ecobondage" which didn't impress me so much, I thought I had wasted my money, but after I bought "Cloud Cock OO Ground" I was so impressed, even moved, and it made me think that I should do noise.
