Some might swear by the early Violent Onsen Geisha cassettes, and CDs like Excrete Music, but the more playful and ridiculous Masaya Nakahara’s music became, the wilder it truly felt. Que Sera Sera’s opening moments jolt from T.Rex samples to a brief blast of clangorous metal-junk noise, to a minute of cheap bossa nova, into a hollow, grim-sounding drone, coupled with sounds of lapping waves. It’s the flip side of the brutish, jolting cut-ups of other noise artists like Merzbow — here, Nakahara has fun with culturally loaded material, rendering noise stranger through smart juxtapositions with the detritus of popular culture.
