Crocidura Dsi Nezumi (サイゴクヂネズミ) is an album by the Japanese noise musician Merzbow.[1] It is "unplugged noise" made using household objects; violin sounds are made with a violin bow on a plastic cassette case or wood, guitar is a rubber band, trumpet is a toilet paper tube, electrical sounds are made with metal. Environmental percussion is the floor, gas stove, the spring of a table lamp, etc. Titles are taken from the Latin names of the Japanese White-toothed Shrew, Japanese stoat, and Japanese weasel.[2]

It was included in the Merzbox with a bonus track.
