C.C.C.C.

C.C.C.C. is a Japanese noise project established by Hiroshi Hashimoto in Osaka in the late 1980s, producing extreme harsh noise and power electronics with a consistency and ferocity that has made it one of the more enduring presences in Japanese noise. Active for decades and releasing prolifically on Japanese noise labels, C.C.C.C. represents the hardcore end of a scene known for taking sonic extremity seriously.

His practice engages with the physical dimensions of noise — volume, density, the body's response to extreme sound — in ways that connect to the broader Japanese noise tradition associated with artists including Merzbow, Incapacitants, and Government Alpha.
