Re: Steve Albini

incredible talent. 61! too young, man, too young. ... and even later a fan of how he actively tried to reconsider some of the things he said and did, and make amends for things without trying to take himself off the hook or minimize his mistakes as so many others do. honestly so much respect to him ...

Re: Music and Noise

Any sound produced for its own sake, rather than as a byproduct of some other activity, is music. If you are beating a brick wall with a sledgehammer because it's your job to demolish it, you're not making music.

Re: Cut Up

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. this is really interesting, it's something i hadn't cons...

Re: Noise Visualizations

I think for me the descriptor I would reach for is more "dense" than "brutalist", with the caveat that I'm using "dense" in the same way that say, a bundle of neurons is dense. Kind of like neurons, which are all tangled together and always firing, the best noise for m...

Re: Noise Visualizations

want to say i really agree with you about not necessarily gelling with the extreme / shocking approach to visualisation with noise. while i enjoy plenty of artists who work with dark subject matter, and it can definitely add to it in some cases, i find that that's very rarely what i experience when ...

Re: Music and Noise

i guess in a world where noise music as a discrete genre has existed for around 40 years (and, of course, the avant garde that inspired it has been going much longer) then sooner or later we inflict systems of meaning even on to anti-representational art; in the same way that listening to 30mins of ...

Re: Music and Noise

This is interesting also, to me, because I have never been able to decide if noise is actually abstract or not. In many ways, it seems much more literal, representationally speaking, that most music. When someone says that a noise composition sounds like people banging pieces of metal together, the...
