First, open the cassette shell. If it has screws, that's very easy with a screwdriver. If not, the only solution is to force it open, which may damage the plastic shell or even break it. If you value the audio on the tape over the "mintness" of the plastic shell, that is still a better opt...

https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0670556069_2.jpg Œil de Braille is a new rythmic noise project from France. 6 improvisational tracks of polymetric circuit bent drum machine abuse. Cascading beats dissolves into crackling loops. Inspired by Aaron Dilloway, Autechre, Novoline, Capers... First album "...

I'm following a tutorial course on how to make video game (a space shooter actually). I'm having a lot of fun, as I find game design really interesting and creative. I played a lot of these games so being able to actually code and implement these mechanics is so rewarding. A nice break from noise ma...

I love the work of those with a recognisable hand: Masahiko Ohno, Aaron Dilloway, Ron Lessard, Andy Bolus, John Wiese, Yamantaka Eye, Thomas Moore. I love Dilloway's artwork, especially his frequent use of faces or portraits (Chain Shot, Door with no Handle, The Gag File, Modern Jester...) Jason Cr...

Has anyone else recevied this mail from Bandcamp asking you to provide your tax and other personal informations ? As a french citizen, I don't feel comfortable with sharing these infos to the US administration, and I've seen others express the same concerns. What's your opinion on this ? The mail fr...

I'm streaming an album of mine, VMS Elit - Fumes , because I apparently don't have the master. Don't think I've heard it since it was released. It's pretty good. Ha ! Something similar happened to me. It seemed I sold all my copies (even my personal copy) of a split tape I am very proud of (both fo...

What a surprise ! :D

Waiting for the european distributors to start selling contact mics again so maybe I can try and get inside this world of making noise. Would you be willing to try to make one yourself? It's very inexpensive and easy if you have the basic supplies (cables, connectors, piezo elements, solder+iron, a...

I read about that on FB. The disappointment and frustration must off the scale. Lots of French fans at least seemed understanding. Hope you can make a separate show happen eventually. Was superdisappointing trip haha! We'll go back next year far as I know On behalf of the french, sorry about that !...

That's awesome ! Now get some rest. :)

Drakengard OST
An old PS2 video game. Never played it but I stumbled upon some footage and the music was just absurdly anxiety inducing I was curious. Chopped up classical music samples. Strings grinding and horns blaring. Repetitive and minimalstic. I love it !

You'd be missing on my magnum opus then !

All in all I believe the perfect noise format is a pro CD. This is a belief that stems pretty much entirely from those being the first things I bought so it's just nostalgia. Can't go wrong with tapes and 7" for splits though. Regarding CD-R, there are a few reasons they should be considered d...

I should listen to the new Laibach album today. It's soundtrack for a theater performance so it's probably going to be good. Their Thus Spoke Zarathustra album from 2017 might be their best. I don't like regular Laibach but I love that Zarathustra album. I'll check the new album out ! Today is a da...

CD, tape, vinyl, CDr, digital (download or stream), smoke signals... What's your favorite format for noise and why ? Which one do you hate ? Why should we even bother with plastic thingies and not go full digital ? Are some formats more suited for certain releases than others ? Feel free to discuss ...

Funnily, that very expression popped in my head yesterday. Made me giggle dumbly for a couple minutes.

Don't have much else to add to the subject, I'm afraid.

Hello. I am writing from Turkey. I have a boutique business called Vaykorus Tapes where I release cassettes in different genres. I released 50 different albums in a short time. Recently I collaborated with Maurizio Bianchi and he recorded a cassette tape from 1980-1983 in which the harsh sounds wer...

I thoroughly enjoyed this last episode. Romain's enthousiasm, his talk about freedom, creativity, art, being aware of the silliness of noise or HNW and yet being really serious about it, I relate so much to all of this.

Good luck with your release and I hope le Pen loses. I've been recovering from surgery for a week and have surgery again in like five days. Trying to find the balance between resting enough and getting everyday tasks done. Thank you ! Le Pen did lose so that's a relief, although as Remi said we're ...

Working on the layout for a self-released CDr in a DVD box. It features a watercolor from an artist whose work I love so much. I know self-releasing a CDr is basically shooting yourself in the foot, as tape sells better, but I feel the tape sound would make a disservice to the material. Been recordi...

Found a dirt cheap Digitech Death Metal and bought it. Had a quick testrun with it this morning while waiting to pick up a friend from a hospital. Surprisingly filthy sounds. Good for you ! Even the Digitech ones seems to be ramping up in prices, plus one has never too many Death Metal. I just pick...
