The first collaboration between Japanese noise titan Masami Akita, aka Merzbow, legendary Brazilian drummer and producer Iggor Cavalera, and forward-thinking Italian guitarist and sound designer Eraldo Bernocchi, »Nocturnal Rainforest« creates a soundscape that is almost overwhelmingly dense and bewildering, but never aggressive or chaotic. It is a fully immersive experience that re-contextualises the trio's years of work in extreme experimental music by focusing on texture, atmosphere, and sensory overload. The noise itself is used to provoke a refined level of concentration; »Nocturnal Rainforest« is meditative in its own way, enveloping listeners in waves of distortion, phantasmal, unmeasured rhythms and bewildering, processed field recordings, but it is not intended for passive listening.
