Re: Punk/Hardcore

If I may, I hear the "post punk" description as the fact some bands use a Chorus pedal in their songs. By some bands I mean Syndrome 81 or Litovsk, and maybe two Parisian bands, and this is talking about the French punk bands that got some recognition abroad thanks to chance and hype. The ...

Re: THE DREADED GEAR THREAD

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!

Re: Dislikes and turnoffs

Untitled tracks. That's interesting, and very subjective imho. I strongly dislike giving titles to tracks and I really disliked the one time a label forced me to create titles for my tracks on the release they were putting out as I didn't create them with titles in mind. To me, titles for abstract ...

Re: Releases of note, 2024

I didn't like Tahma's tape as much as I wished. The approach is great but the sounds didn't appeal to me much. I'm looking forward to whatever is coming next though. The new Mogao tape is amazing, imho. It has an organic and "rusty" (to quote a friend who used the perfect word to describe ...

Maybe an EQ module could help then ?

Re: Modular Noise

Any good fuzz eurorack module recommendations? Ritual Electronics Miasma with the Crime 2 expander. You get different flavours of distortion going very fuzzy and wavefolding, and it works great in conjonction with their Altar filter (which is the only reason I still have a eurorack rig. I love it s...

Re: Modular Noise

I wasn't trying to be a purist or anything. I still have some euro modules and a rig I keep using because I can't find similar filters or VCOs in the format I like better so they all communicate through format jumblers. It's all about what you make of it, whatever it is, but it doesn't have to be be...

Re: Modular Noise

I don't think eurorack really is more accessible than most other modular formats. In terms of choice and availability, maybe, but you can buy new 5U modules that look and sound awesome for less than their shiny eurorack equivalents, and while my 4U boats are expensive, if you take into accounts I ha...

Re: Travelling overseas for a noise show? Who's dunnit?

If you're going for longer than the fest, save as much money as you can beforehand. Food is good and usually cheap in Japan, accommodation less so although it can be arranged. However, having as much money as possible with you when you're there is important because the last thing you want when you'r...

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. Yeah, you produce 200 CDs and not 80 or 100 tapes. But as a label it's your duty to make sure the artist ...

Re: Cut Up

I've seen people do cut-up noise with MPCs and SP404s.

I'm sure you could do the same thing with an Octatrack but the crossfader would hate you after a while (and I wouldn't want to break an Octatrack by going mental on the crossfader, to be quite honest.)

Re: The Future of the physical format underground

Tapes can be recycled and labels can do co-releases and split costs, with for instance one label being based on the American continent and the other in Europe, etc. That makes distribution easier and cheaper.
