NEW on CHRYPTUS: KENNETH SADNESS cs

https://i.imgur.com/bHN1vtb.jpg We are still too near to California. We head out on the Interstate of the mind. The tape gets chewed and we never fix it. Can we get far enough away from the denim arms of the rock star? We play the riff over, and over, and over again, until its hidden meaning is rev...

Re: Domestic Noise

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...

Re: Time signatures in noise

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...

Re: Generational differences in the noise community

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...

Re: Self Releasing/Starting Labels

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 ...

Re: Now Playing

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...

Re: The Future of the physical format underground

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 ...

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...

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...
