Re: Music and Noise
Hey, I'm not even saying I disagree with you on anything. These are very abstract concepts we're dealing here, I don't see why several different approaches could not be equally valid at the same time. Exactly---there should probably be as many approaches/answers as possible, to better match the con...

Re: Music and Noise
But sound for sound's sake is not sound for art's sake, though? I think one of the difficulties of noise music is that we very rarely actually hear the noise itself. I guess, then, that the soundcheck is probably more truly focused on the sounds themselves than the set itself! Hmmm yes. But the poi...

Re: Music and Noise
I guess I mean that "art for art's sake" (i.e. sound for sound's sake as being inherently musical) is a definite historical perspective on artistic/musical production, but I imagine that there could be cases of producing a sound for its own sake that do not result in the creation of music...

Any sound produced for its own sake, rather than as a byproduct of some other activity, is music.

Re: old world problems
I had the same problem a few weeks ago. I picked up some blank 30 second tapes and couldn’t figure out why they weren’t working. I even took apart my little recorder to find out if that was the problem. The tabs never even came to mind because why would blank tapes be missing the tabs? Where did yo...

Will these secret bands be doing any touring once they are stateside?

Re: Introduce yourself
Thanks for the warm welcome. Are you in a project, I don’t book very often but that might change. But likewise, if you play out in Los Angeles, lemme know. *Aside* anyone who books in San Diego, I’d love to play. I’ve approached Stay Strange in the past but haven’t heard back from them recently.

Re: Introduce yourself
Hi, I'm Ryan aka Insufficient Despair. I'm based in Torrance, California. I don't have any formal releases yet. Been enjoying the ride going to and playing shows, sometimes booking one here or there. You're not too far from me, all things considered. Post if you come do a show down here in San Diego!
Re: Neofolk
I've been spending time with Current 93's The Light is Leaving Us All over the past week or so and I feel like I've finally unlocked it. I think I'd previously always gone to it while deep in a C93 hole where it couldn't stand up to the formidable albums of the 90s, but it's revealed itself to be a...

I guess it makes sense. Siikala's art is like a more misanthropic version of early Harmony Korine.

SS1535, aside from the importance of his art he's been such a positive force in my life and in the lives of others I know.

Re: Cut Up
Has anyone tried to do cutup with a sequencer? I've done some with sp303 and the Korg sq-1. Great results with sq-1 ramdom pattern midi -> sampler. The SQ-1 is what I have, and the random pattern seems to work very well for this sort of thing. Putting it into a sampler is a very good idea!

Re: Noise Visualizations
So with regard to textual noise, I'm in agreement here. That is noise cast as the disruption of an ordered system, as you say. I don't think there's much of an underground for appreciators of nonsense text strings in the same way there is for auditory noise. To me at least lefjljfklwjfwkjhfwkhdojfd...

Re: Noise Visualizations
I'm also very interested in the idea of textual noise. Do you have any resources or thoughts in general on that subject? In my noise-inspired writing I've really been wanting to try and capture the... nature of noise and not so much simple sonic/textural onomatopoeia (e.g. crunches, roars, scrapes ...

Re: Noise Visualizations
The other obvious person here, I think, is Antonin Artaud, who did a bunch of bizarre sound poetry. I have a bunch of audio files of it, so if you (or anyone else) wants them, let me know! Would love to hear these! They are probably online somewhere, but I can send you the files. PM me an email!
