Cuts (album)

Cuts is the first studio album by the trio of Japanese noise musician Merzbow, Hungarian drummer Balázs Pándi, and Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson. It was recorded during a stop on the trio's East European tour in April 2012. The album was recorded in several improvised sessions at Metropolis Studio in Budapest, Hungary. Masami Akita then edited and mixed it at his Munemihouse studio in Tokyo, he didn't change the structure much except for moving a sax part. Pándi mixed his drums in Budapest. The track titles come from Leif Elggren's book Something like seeing in the dark.

The album was followed up in January 2015 by Live in Tabačka 13/04/12, which was recorded live the day before Cuts in Slovakia. A studio album with Thurston Moore entitled Cuts of Guilt, Cuts Deeper was released in March 2015.

Introduction (music)

In music, the introduction is a passage or section which opens a movement or a separate piece, preceding the theme or lyrics. In popular music this is often abbreviated as intro. The introduction establishes melodic, harmonic, and/or rhythmic material related to the main body of a piece.

Introductions may consist of an ostinato that is used in the following music, an important chord or progression that establishes the tonality and groove for the following music, or they may be important but disguised or out-of-context motivic or thematic material. As such the introduction may be the first statement of primary or other important material, may be related to but different from the primary or other important material, or may bear little relation to any other material.

A common introduction to a rubato ballad is a dominant seventh chord with fermata, Play  an introduction that works for many songs is the last four or eight measures of the song, Play  while a common introduction to the twelve-bar blues is a single chorus. Play
