One of my favourites!

What effect does the visual aspect of a live performance have on how the sound is perceived? I witnessed a recent performance where everything seemed about to fall off the rails at any given moment. The band gave off a ramshackle air of being rather under-rehearsed, and I wrote it off as somewhat of...

I was thinking about the guitar as sound source in noise this morning while listening to the aforementioned Brotzmann/Einheit album. I'm always wary about "guitar noise". When it's disguised or utilized to create unique sounds I'm all for it, but when it can be recognized as the source ins...

Here it is again, VHS source: https://we.tl/t-zyA0utU1Ua

If this isn't what your friends shot I'd be very surprised to learn that there was more than one active video camera at the show!

2 years later 96 solo Masonna tour: https://youtu.be/YUck8hzJ4mw That's the one I have on my VHS! Maybe not the same exact footage but the same gig. Along with the Merzbow gig from the same night. I mentioned it in one WCN video chat but I will repeat myself here, I need some nice American fellow t...

Sounds like it's an amazing listen. Which public releases from the project would you recommend? The Chaos is a System tape on No Rent, and his contribution to the Texas 3LP compilation on RRR are personal favourites. Just thought I'd mirror this for the sake of redundancy. Ah yes! Undecided if a me...

She's still paying, I think under her own name. Recently appeared at one of the Midfield events.

Green Tea - Children of the Wisteria (Satatuhatta) CD Fantastic second effort from Green Tea. Pursues a somewhat more overt new age vibe amidst the psychedelic harsh noise than the first CD I released on New Forces earlier this year. Particularly on the last track you can hear echoes of mid-2000s g...

Hello, and thanks for the kind words. I was lucky enough to stumble into the Japanese scene and discover how amazing everyone was, from which point on I tried to help however I could to spread the word. I was able to set up Zeni Geva's first show in SF (with Pain Teens, and Neurosis opening for the...

New Tomb Mold FUCKS hard. Reminiscent of "Human" era Death with some Atheist touches. Wow. Yes. Really solid and the bass playing fucking slaps. I haven't checked the new album, but the two tracks they played from it in the middle of the set on Friday really shifted the mood of the whole ...

One great season in 2008 and for the past 15 years things have been getting progressively worse. USPS international rates should be considered criminal, in all honesty.

hi there. my name is moth. I live in Georgia (the state, not the country). i am trying to get back into making sound again after a long hiatus. my "main" project is Nyctophilia, but I have several others that i will put in my signature eventually. looking forward to participating. Welcome...

https://modular-station.com/modulisme/session/91/ Recent interview with UnicaZürn where Stephen Thrower mentions how "At the Heart of It All" was recorded in one improvised take. Coil was an eight-year thrill ride, and a musical education for me. Sadly it went off the rails in 1992-93. The...

Finally finished reading Paul Bowles' Let It Come Down the other day after having misplaced it for a couple weeks (surprise: it was in a box under a bunch of tapes). Not as big of an existential gut-punch as The Sheltering Sky , but still a fine descent with copious amounts of nihilism in the face o...

I haven't kept up with every Noisextra episode over the years, but have been listening more as of late. The latest episode with Bee was quite enjoyable. Bee's own trajectory is interesting in and of itself with a strange early rise to "fame" in Japan, and ties to certain clubs in the UK un...

Try fast forwarding and rewinding the tape to the ends completely, perhaps multiple times. That could do the trick.

It may also be due to a manufacture error of the shell. The holes for the capstans may be off ever so slightly.
