Re: Hospital/NWN Fest in Osaka / Machine Parts in Tokyo

If anyone having trouble getting the site to work on their end has access to a VPN, I recommend giving it a shot.

IDK if they fixed it, but I was just able to secure a reservation using a VPN service.

Re: Hospital/NWN Fest in Osaka / Machine Parts in Tokyo

Okay. It's at least somewhat of a relief to know it's not purely on my end after I tried on a couple of different devices and browsers with the same result. I wonder if it's some kind of regional connectivity issue (making up terms here. I'm not tech-savvy). Same error (on the 2 day link) To clarify...

Re: Modular Noise

Honestly, trying to get something close to a super fuzz. I feel like it's the low end that I'm trying to hunt down. I see. I've never tried it or heard demos, but Synthrotek supposedly make a SuperFuzz "clone" in Euro format. How true it is to the classic SuperFuzz, I can't say: https://s...

Re: Modular Noise

I've also had mixed results just using level shifter modules with send and return jacks to conveniently integrate line level pedals into the signal chain, though I confess I have mostly used ye olde death metal for this, and haven't experimented with other options a lot, namely fuzzes. What kind off...

Re: Modular Noise

Any good fuzz eurorack module recommendations? I've never used any purpose-built fuzz or distortion modules, though the Schlappi 100 Grit was mentioned on the last podcast episode. One interesting thing with modular is that you can patch all kinds of signals around to get interesting results. One t...

Re: Modular Noise

Can anybody point me some video or audio of artists using Qu-Bit Nebulae in the harsh noise context? I am curious to see the potential of this module for noise. All audio and videos that i found just showed Nebulae making beautiful drone sounds or techno rhythmics stuff (what i don't like). Really ...

I honestly expect to stay in my hotel much of the time in Osaka. I don't travel very much. This is going to be the first time I've even left North America.

Re: Modular Noise

Re: Accessibility... By that I just meant, perhaps more accurately, that there is better "market visibility" for Euro, and easy integration with modern semi-modulars makes it the first choice for many over something slightly more obscure like Frac. Euro is the path of least resistance for ...

Re: Modular Noise

I haven't heard people calling it modern, but modular hardware is certainly very "now". That is to say, very trendy. But I think this has more to do with it (eurorack specifically) becoming more accessible to average people with day jobs than anything. I suspect it seems particularly inter...

Re: Listening (to) space: Mono vs stereo

As long as a modern recording is intentionally recorded and duplicated in mono, I am fine taking it for what it is. I can only judge something based on hearing it for myself. I do typically work in and "prefer" stereo sound, though. Even without headphones, the stereo image is perceptible ...

Also fair. As a casual fan of The Rita, I have to admit that I'm only particularly intetested in his sounds and, to a lesser extent, his process. His aesthetic interests, themes, etc. are all but irrelevant to me, though I can appreciate that stuff for its added context. But I can see how there bein...

Re: THE RITA

I suspect it's less about the resultant sounds than it is the sources themselves, and the fact that they are a significant part of the experience/process for Sam. All good meals return as shit in the end! So, consider that it's more about the act of interaction with the sources. The act of consuming...

Re: Noise in the Mainstream

Masonna on 120 Minutes. Happened years before I even heard of him. Pretty much cemented the idea for me that noise has no obligation to justify itself as anything but another democratized form of music/craft. Noise had arrived to the masses well before I found it. I like it much better that way. Tir...

Re: noise guitarists

It might be a bit of a stretch to call him a "noise" guitarist, but some of Hans Reichel's guitar work is remarkably strange and at times hauntingly beautiful.

I've always thought "Mr. and Mrs. Alcohol" would make a great name for a noise/improv duo!

Unrelated apart from the "school-sanctioned, post-graduation celebration at the park run amok" vibes, but I find it very inspiring, along with those many, many Necromist street collab videos:
