"10 Ways (to get along well with you.)" is the second full-length album by MESSNINGEN, a concept work that confronts the struggles of living with depression. Each track is named after a medication, reflecting both the personal and universal aspects of coping, healing, and surviving.
The album explores a wide sonic spectrum, moving from harsh noise and distorted textures to fragile moments of silence and subtle ambience. In addition to field recordings and electronic noise, the work also incorporates instruments such as piano and guitar - adding a raw, human touch that contrasts with the mechanical chaos. The result is an unsettling yet strangely intimate soundscape.
Where the debut album "OMOIDEOVER" reassembled memories through noise and ambience, "10 Ways" dives deeper into the confrontation with illness - seeking coexistence rather than escape. The album stands as an unflinching portrait of vulnerability, chaos, and resilience.
MESSNINGEN is a music project based in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo. Rooted in noise, ambient, and electronic music, it moves freely beyond genre - shaping only the sounds that truly resonate and stir the heart. Alongside producing and releasing original works, MESSNINGEN also uploads weekly improvisation videos on YouTube, capturing raw moments exactly as they emerge.
