Chia-Chun Xu was great too. I was not at all familiar before. There were moments where I was watching him and looking at his setup and I could not figure out how he was making some of the sounds! Despite my aching feet, I feel very grateful for the opportunity to have been there. Very nice seeing so...

I'm bringing a couple of disposable cameras with me. I'll take lots of pictures of my sad hotel room. Would love to snap a few pics of Masonna's set too, if possible.

Does anyone know if the NWN/Hospital event is going to be filmed? Does Masami Akita ever show up to hang or is he too big for a 2 day noise festival? I get the sense that MA is probably not very involved creatively or socially with the Japanese capital-N noise scene anymore, for what little he ever...

Neat! I always wondered if/hoped there's be a rackable version. Still haven't ordered any original version kits, but this may push me over the edge.

Sorry. That was more of a pedantic swipe at the "all intentional sound is music" idea, despite music (i.e., assembled noises) already being entirely dependent on constructs or manipulations versus inately material phenomenon which go on blindly, regardless of whether or not there's someth...

Foley and live radio/theatre sound effects are not music, although intentional. .., Yeah, but they also don’t exist independently for their own sake. They have a supporting role as part of a larger whole. Sorry. That was more of a pedantic swipe at the "all intentional sound is music" ide...

Foley and live radio/theatre sound effects are not music, although intentional. I think, all things considered, music only exists if we decide on it. If a tree falls in the forest, it does make a sound. The fragile human ego just isn't part of the equation to make that observation. It is ultimateltl...

Most definitely regarding modulation and filter stuff, anything, really. I am a bit of a filter maniac myself (I blame Merzbow).

I'm up on the idea more and more as I contemplate it, but I don't have a good system/setup for recording and editing video.

I used to have a few "noise gear demos" on YT that I now, somewhat regrettably, deleted and lost. I have considered getting back into it with a more streamlined approach than before inspired by the old NoiseFX demonstration style. The idea of dweeby, cork-sniffing distortion studies does a...

I have to admit that, despite snapping up every test pressing and backsplash tile I can from David, I have spent so little time with the releases I have gotten since "I Am the Last..." that I have difficulty even describing them for purposes of review. And that's not even taking their alre...

Rosin should make a huge difference, yes. I'd go so far as to say that a bow is nearly useless without it. I bought a cheap Chinese violin off ebay for noise research purposes myself a few years ago. That was my first time using a bow, so it took a bit of trial and error to realize this... The rosin...

In eurorack, one can look at a sequencer like the Voltage Block as an intelligent chaotic/random burst generator when using a random/irregular clock source and random sequence patterning in order to trigger or CV modulate a variety of things.

I've never been diagnosed with synesthesia, but often experienced something comparable since childhood where I associate sounds with images of food and/or environments or smells or colors and vice-versa. I suppose that's not really uncommon, considering how often people use terms like "creamy&q...

Since these last few posts, I've been meaning to look into options for direct PCM data transfer to/from MD. I've been inspired. I do have a very nice MD deck that a certain "noise tourist" gifted me before he went away. It allows me to do all kinds of things with cutting and rearranging re...

I think the burden of proof is on music to prove it isn't noise. Noise simply "is", regardless of context or audience or cultural expectations. I don't consider it music, nor feel the need to justify it as such. But I think I'm still not answering precisely what was mentioned in the OP, so...

3-way!!!

I've contemplated the same, but don't have a good supply of blanks for it. One very exciting thing is how you can do micro-edits and shuffle playback, though. Could make for interesting listening!

Edit: Excessive, moronic, drunken rambling.
Please disregard.

The world goes mysteriously silent when you point a fuzzy mic at it. :D (Likewise stops moving much when you take the Super 8 camera out.) 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, somethi...

I also think that in Finland it is fairly common to have mental health problems (due to genetics and a culture of school violence and other extremely unfriendly behaviour towards individuals that do not fit the standards) and this is also why some of us decide to lock ourselves in a noise cave to l...

As of recent, modern cut-up has been bothersome to listen to; not much variation in sounds being used to the point where it makes modern wall noise look inventive. I feel like that's one of the biggest stumbling blocks for this style as a whole. And maybe the hallmarks of the genre are now becoming...

I'll be in Namba as well. I was told it's maybe a 30-45 min. trip to the venue from there. Not too bad.

If anyone having trouble getting the site to work on their end has access to a VPN, I recommend giving it a shot.

IDK if they fixed it, but I was just able to secure a reservation using a VPN service.

Okay. It's at least somewhat of a relief to know it's not purely on my end after I tried on a couple of different devices and browsers with the same result. I wonder if it's some kind of regional connectivity issue (making up terms here. I'm not tech-savvy). Same error (on the 2 day link) To clarify...

Let me know if you have any trouble There was an unexpected network error, please try again or contact a site administrator. Looks like an issue with the page right now, unfortunately, but I'll keep trying it. Thanks a lot for the update, though. Can anyone confirm whether or not the single day tic...
