Chaotic first wave style black metal on one side, dismal dungeon noise of defeat on the other

Wolf Vostell "Dé-coll/age Musik" and Giancarlo Toniutti " Epigènesi." I don't know if these are too immodest to be "domestic." They are art projects after all. Perhaps it isn't a new observation, that this kind of concrete music has the ability to re-contextualize sound...

Rereading this spew and wondering if I were somehow suggesting that all sound (or sound as waves, oscillations, pulses) could at some level be drawn as 4/4 time. It's sad, isn't it? But this is what listening to noise does to people. Yes, at high enough volume levels, and with slight movements of t...

In my experience, the early days of the online were more the domain of the (slightly) elder set, because access (in the pre-internet BBS days*) would only be granted to people of a certain income bracket (or in the case of the kids, their dad's income bracket, same thing) or those of a degree of ed...

I love tapes madly but there's no sense getting any of them pro-dubbed in big quantities nowadays considering you can produce pro-Cds for half of what they cost and sell these for twice as much. Yes, in addition to edition size limitations, so-called "pro" dubbing of cassettes is totally ...

yeah, it's almost as if there's a tendency for the rate of profit to fall or something

I wonder if you can offer some good recommendations to iritate my sensitivities the way these two examples do. No romance, no high fantasy, no heroes, no magic or metaphysical guiding light. Just the pure, matetrial brutality of nature described in fantastic extremes. Something to remind me of how ...

New Puce Mary tapes. Everything regarding these tapes seemed to be such a mess that I was surprised they even arrived at all. Of course, the dubs are rather poor and one of the tapes is too short so the tape runs out a minute or two too early on one side, but I do like the material. She's supposedl...

there is no guarantee of permanence. Setting aside the issue of object fetishism, this is a problem for all digital media. In addition to arbitrary content policies of the big platforms, the issue of purely digital content is new; how does one maintain a years-long collection of a bunch of files? D...

of course "there will always be a market," and it's hard to imagine "new formats" that don't exist yet, the problem is that cost of production has been going up while turnaround times and quality are getting (a lot) worse. eventually vinyl and cassettes are restricted to diehard ...

新しい神様 - The New God (1999) https://i.ibb.co/pXyybyJ/newgod.jpg Documentary by Yutaka Tsuchiya following the right-wing punk band The Revolutionary Truth, surely an obscure pull for even the most die-hard western fans of fabled Japanese punk music. The film follows mostly their singer Amamiya and he...

nostalgia or just "following traditions" ah, the problem is production and manufacturing (as usual), most places won't do CD runs less than 500, if you are lucky you can get 100, but the price point is basically the same if not more for small run of pro CD's, whereas tapes you can do any ...

objectively the "best" format is tape, best for archival purposes, can be as hi-fidelity as vinyl under proper conditions, can hold any length of time in theory, plus a totally mechanical process (ie if you had to re-invent the tape player from scratch you could probably reverse engineer i...

Are there good examples of noise/PE projects that are particularly provocative/controversial/uncomfortable precisely because the questionable content is decidedly not "extreme," so audiences are denied an easy decision to condemn, or ignore, or hide it? And I don't mean the politically am...

Great conversation. It makes total sense that his second 7" came out on Ant Zen... very appropriate label to host him. Yet I don't like Am Not in the sense of his work existing 'in opposition' to everything else, in fact I don't think that's his reason for being at all. I think his releases ar...

Why do any political art then? I don't see any reason to distinguish power electronics from other forms of art/music in regards to its potential. the difference is the size of the audience. if you want to reach lots of people, power electronics is not the form for it. if your political project does...

https://youtu.be/j-2_t-_Y2B8 Am Not yeah came to name drop Am Not as well, oh who in PE is writing songs about coltan in phones? it's Tamon and that's it pretty much. whoever said that noise people don't engage with this stuff is right. if there are people who know about politics and history in noi...

From the label: " 'Flowers' by Leo Brochu is one of the best slabs of harsh noise I have heard recently; it simply is a favorite amongst a lot of other stuff, though it has a lot of the familiar tricks and tips that you’ve already come to love on other classics. Cavernous rumbling Macro-Mother ...

Arseny Avraamov "During the 1920s Avraamov experimented with ‘prepared’ pianos, harmoniums and various noise sources as well as a symphony orchestra to develop new approaches to organizing sound that are very similar to recent techniques of electroacoustic and spectral music. He explored new ge...

in order to not let this thread die on that last embarrassing and dogshit post, I wanna recommend the greatest documentary film of all time, The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On (ゆきゆきて、神軍). Director Kazuo Hara follows WW2 veteran soldier Kenzo Okuzaki as he travels around Japan trying to seek retribu...

https://i.ibb.co/6mYhkDQ/suchtigtrnopoljecover.jpg Süchtig - TRNOPOLJE Süchtig returns with more idées fixes. This album is an interpolated narrative sound-design about the last European war. History no longer rhymes nor repeats, it reverberates down the iron hallway of time, shaking loose many rus...

i saw pain jerk play once and he used a laptop AND had 4/4 beats it was really shit and disappointing
