Scream & Writhe Forum

I’m interested to see this idea fleshed out a bit more, perhaps with some further examples of where and how you hear this. There is a lot comes to mind when the word ‘domestic’ is used around noise and related forms of experimental sound. I’d definitely look at Regional Bears as a place filled with ...

I've never saw a discossion about E.E.E. Formerly from the UK, this minimal noise project began in 1983. Elliot Einsmire (Ella's twin) passed in 1997. Ella continues the project. Does anybody know any info about this? It looks like another Ramirez' side project pros: 1) Straight wall noise from ear...

It's all interpretation I suppose but time signatures seem more like one way to describe rhythms, pulses or whatever, not some cold hard objective reality about them. Forgetting Noise for a minute, there's enough instances in whatever 'music' is considered to be across cultures, time and geography w...

I have a love/hate relationship with Prurient and Hospital Prod. but the more sketchbook-type releases that live on the very abstract edge of PE/Industrial are really something special. Great summary. Agree on some of those other titles you cited. I'd also say Point and Void captures a lot of this ...

Been getting really into Shrimp Crescent these last few days. Just youtube/mp3 rips, I don't have the cassette. It's one of the short run, short length supplemental cassette releases, the type of which was often released between big proper albums for tours and so on but surely not limited to just th...

Human QC probably doesn't pass by every record, things slip through the cracks. Entirely. It's another reason why the continued fetishisation of vinyl is funny as fuck when all that amazing sounding shit people imagine happens as soon as a groove is cut into a disc is the product of a QC standard a...

Amazing info! Keep it coming if there’s more. Going to check out each one of these artists.

Oafishly dragged my tone arm across side A of Adam Bohman's 'Bunhill Row' having not lifted it back off the groove at the end. Gigantic, ruinous scratch running across most of the side. This was New Year's Day 2012 and I still carry it around despite having replaced it years ago. Can't bring myself ...

This bit sounds great.

Couple of Macronympha interviews I'd not seen before archived via Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/19990202092 ... views.html

Didn’t know Hot Topic still existed. The last time I saw it used as a pejorative term for what young people were doing was at least 10 years ago. Longer still since a mention of nkondi.

(as opposed to CD-R's that just stop working) Yeah it's a real shame. We live in an age where we could totally fix the things that went wrong with CD-R as an invention but there is obviously no commercial incentive to continue developing it. I feel like if there weren't so many people in noise who ...

Some interesting comments about navigating format choices when hoping to put things out. I think as long as there is physical media it'll be impossible to please everyone. For every tape fanatic there is someone who wont touch them. For every cheap CD reissue there will be an expensive 2xLP reissue ...

Yeah my bad people, the ‘early’ online stuff I’m talking about is very much a/the period when things began to happen en masse. A culture defined (retrospectively) by MySpace, PayPal buttons on geocities pages, p2p sharing, forums like troniks and noiseguide as opposed to things much older or more di...

Most of what I've read in this thread brings back memories of similar things I read in the glory days of Troniks and all the other forums. Then it was forums and noise moving onto the internet that represented instantaneous access to information that young people of the time understood and older peo...

I get you. I don’t suppose there is a correct answer at all, the reflection is what’s interesting. For my money the appropriation of those genres has as much a place in and as noise as studious fascination with texture or tone. It’s also reasonable to highlight that they might be coming from a diffe...

Really liked the recent episode with Kenny Sanderson. Great to finally hear a proper UK accent on the podcast along with some proper swearing. Zero disrespect to Andy Bolus here but he's picked up that French twang. Also spot on with his comments about the UK, where they happen. Very cool to just li...

Earthbound is a true work of art. As a standalone game and an outlier in the context of other SNES jrpgs it's remarkable. I tend never to like finishing games because my favourite thing about them is just living in their world, this is especially true in Earthbound. Don't even get me started on the ...

Did you ever self release any music before now? This might be a good approach for a release or two as it'd give you something to trade or gift to artists and labels you're a fan of and build up connections that way. I think you'll see this advice repeated quite often when similar topics are discusse...

Fuck, do whatever you want, as long as the sounds are good. Well yes, this is key to it all. I didn't want to make this point given if we're here talking about the finer points, we may as well do so without too many top level qualifiers. But I agree. Even if bad imagery can really let an album down...

Pro-dubbed tape with simple, generic j-card is fine but it makes me wonder, if you're not giving the physical form the same attention as the what it contains, why bother with a physical release at all? Do we really need everything on tape so much that we're happy with generic gas station goldies -l...

I've worked in a few kitchens and I really don't enjoy any film or TV that tries to dramatise what that environment is like. It just looks so artificial to me, even when it's well observed. I think that flows through almost any industry - my wife is a massage therapist, and if we ever see a scene w...

musique concrete pierre schaeffer Well there you have it. issued on one my favourite labels, Research Laboratories , who I will one day do a long post about. Looking forward to this post if you ever get 'round to it as Research Laboratories are consistently amazing and I'll probably weigh in with s...

i first became aware of prurient in 2005 when i helped run sound for a gig in leeds and he blew most of the speakers in the first five minutes apart from one which was dragged onto the stage and was still really fucking loud and sounded better in my humble opinion. Was this the same time Emil Beaul...

I hate that I even know this, but I believe the stolen lyrics thing is about Cold Cave. Wes Eisold had a case against that guy for plagiarism which he won or got settlement over. No idea about whether or not yer man from that other band had some relationship to Prurient in the old days. It would gen...
