"Kazuyuki Kishino Null has been whirling out all manner of head-slicing blades of noisy sonic experimentation for well over two decades now, both as a solo artist and with his rock assault unit Zeni Geva. These feats have earned him an esteemed place among Japanese noise royalty like Merzbow, Masonna, and Boredoms." - SKYSCRAPER Kosmista Noisea (Finnish for "cosmic noise") consists of live recordings from three different locations during a European tour in 2003-2004. "Kosmista Noisea 1" is taken from two separate live recordings and uniquely combined into one piece with Talcent, Italy on the left channel and St. Etienne, France on the right channel. This technique is designed to provide depth and multiple dimensions. "Kosmista Noisea 2" is a forty-five minute non-edit of an entire live performance in Antwerpen/Belgium, showing the diversity of KK Null's music from intense clashing wave of noise to structured electro-acoustic ambience, droning isolationist material. KK Null, born in Tokyo, is a composer, guitarist, singer, mastermind of Zeni Geva, and electronic wizard. He is one of the top names in Japanese noise music, and in a larger context, one of the great cult artists in experimental music since early eighties.
