Re: Introduce yourself

Dan, 40, Edmonton, Alberta. I've been listening to noise since gestation. As a fully grown human person, I came to noise through the cutup/audio experiments of William Burroughs and Brion Gysin. I made some half-hearted attempts to make my own sounds around 2007-8 but only really began experimentin...

Re: THE DREADED GEAR THREAD

I do the majority of my writing with two synthesizers and guitar pedals in tandem with using non-musical instruments to write. Right now, I'm slowly working on a tape in which glass is my primary instrument. Been recording myself smashing, tapping, scraping and blowing on it in different acoustic sp...

Tremendous release, and I was equally thrilled in realizing Lipstick was a Brainbombs cover. Quite inventive and original.

Re: Film Discussion / Now Watching

Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/pancrace/ I rewatched Science Crazed the other day, which is an amazing piece of Canuxploitation. It is the outsider artist's take on the b-movie slasher genre until it starts devolving into hypnotic repetitions of the most peculiar scenes. 10/10, would recommend. ...

Also into musical oddities and general weirdos such as Jandek, Kenneth Higney, The Space Lady, Gary Wilson, et al. Looking forward to checking out yo...

Re: Introduce yourself

Aaron here. I recently moved to Montreal from the Canadian prairies. Been into noise since 2008 going to shows and performing live under various names, though now going forward under the moniker Catholic Stare.
