Re: THE DREADED GEAR THREAD
I wonder if there's people who would buy noise on a Minidisc. Not sure about noise but I personally started /r/VaporwaveMiniDiscs/ as a joke one time and it's unexpectedly blossomed into a thriving scene of people releasing vaporwave on minidisk :D I'm surprised there weren't more Noise MD releases...

Re: THE DREADED GEAR THREAD
It's maddenning. Some cosmic trickster at work, no doubt! BTW, without getting too in the weeds, though I realize MiniDiscs actually record lossy audio, something about them always sounded nice to my ears. There's some kind of subtle magic happening with the analog/digital conversion or compression...

Re: Noise in the Mainstream
Without totally meaning to shamelessly plug myself here, I was shocked to see my most recent album Commuter - No Longer Penitent make it into Spin's "The Best Albums of 2023 So Far" list. https://www.spin.com/2023/06/the-best-albums-of-2023-so-far/ Amazing. Well earned in my opinion, if v...

Re: Vertical pedalboard performance setups.
I have one of these at home: https://www.thomann.de/gb/gravity_ksx_2_rd.htm
Packs up pretty nicely so you can take it out if you want to.

Re: Opinions on digital subscriptions to labels
Such a huge part of what I love about noise is the physical releases. I've on and off been a subscriber to both WCN and Noisextra, but digital content just doesn't give me enough to support the creators continually. Same goes for digital only releases, just not into it enough to pay for it. I want t...

Re: A Post-Discogs Future
I hope that buyer habits change and in person sales escalate, but I already have lots of people who are local, and somehow prefer to pay the fees, AND shipping on an item that they could just grab in person easily. Maybe now that i’m moving to a more easily accessible location this will change, but...

Re: What is your criteria for how you decide if you like noise?
Imagery matters a lot to me as well. I've heard the whole "only the sounds should matter" thing across genres, ad infinitum. I disagree. I want imagery. It could be something I really like, or it could be that I hate it and need to reconcile it with the sounds (or vice versa). As someone ...

Re: Time signatures in noise
Interesting topic. I think just about ten years ago, maybe from 2012-2019, there was a lot of noise, industrial, adjacent genre-stuff that was widely distributed and good visibility that coincided with an explosion of gear being made more available at a somewhat decent price. Elektron samplers, seq...

Re: Domestic Noise
I am surprised I have not read anyone mention Ashley C's Drift album on Freak Animal. It is a remarkably low-key album, almost pitch-black, cold, flowing, almost floating noise release. If you want to turn your evening living room into barren dead-zone, turn this album on. I have always thought tha...

Re: Looking for a noise podcast that talks process and gear
If you pay a few bucks per month on Patreon, you can get access to Noisextra Trashware, special episodes that revolve around gear and noise making techniques only. There's dozens in the archive at this point and a new one out every two weeks. Well worth the insignificant amount of money they ask for...

Re: Time signatures in noise
It wasn't. I didn't see any samplers/sequencers but I'm really new to modular/eurorack, so I might have missed something. In his defense, I don't think he was referring to a literal clock that was determining the time signature/rhythm, but rather a "feeling" and seeing "movements&quo...

Re: Time signatures in noise
I mean time signatures are dependent on context I like this sentiment! I think that's partially what I was suggesting when I said it's cultural. We impose a time signature onto what we listen to and what we listen to imposes its time signature on us. I also realize I am opening up a can of worms wh...

Re: Time signatures in noise
how did your friend come to this conclusion? I mean time signatures are dependent on context. You can count a birdsong or an engine running and come up with a time signature for it, but it doesn't mean that it's actually in any specific time signature, it's just that your brain found a rhythm. we hu...

Re: Listening Environment
Prefer headphones simply because I rarely get the chance to blast noise from my stereo as loud as I'd want, so headphones are the best way to achieve the optimal volume level. I do have Genelecs tho, and blasting harsh noise loud from them is a totally different experience.

Re: Self Releasing/Starting Labels
I think each format has its strenghts and weaknesses which both the artist and label should consider when deciding what format to use. Tapes have a distinct sonic quality, they slowly degrade over time but in an appealing way that fits noise very well (as opposed to CD-R's that just stop working). S...

Grunge & Alt. rock in the 90s, then indie and noise rock and hardcore / different punk subgenres and finallyy sludge via EHG with small detours into hip hop and electronic music, all of which led me to search for more intense and obscure stuff which led me to japanoise & industrial in the ea...

Re: Generational differences in the noise community
Was there noise content online during the BBS era, pre-HTML? Not really pre-internet though, since I doubt Joie was surfing the ARPANET in the 60s or 70s.
