by having a dayjob i guess
Good point. On top of that a lot of what merzbow does is "free improvisation." And he also must spend a lot of money on drugs for his music to sound good to himself

>getting all $$$ from records and live shows

merzbow doesn't make a living off of his work
no noise artists make a living off their work, they've all got day jobs and shit
