You know, that's a very good point and one I confess I hadn't thought of during the writing of my OP. Different visual aesthetics fit different subtypes of noise in different ways. To my mind the image you posted is a great representation of cut-up/collage type noise, which while it is a style I fi...

yes

What was your setup? How did it work?

Stuff like this could be just as good of a visualization of noise as abstract expressionism: You know, that's a very good point and one I confess I hadn't thought of during the writing of my OP.

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

I also think that in Finland it is fairly common to have mental health problems (due to genetics and a culture of school violence and other extremely unfriendly behaviour towards individuals that do not fit the standards) and this is also why some of us decide to lock ourselves in a noise cave to l...

Has anyone tried to do cutup with a sequencer?

Some of the best "visualizations" of noise, if by that we are meaning art that tries to capture it, might be the cd labels found in the Merzbox. They all match one another, while still reflecting the uniqueness of each album. You know, that's actually an interesting question, what kind of...

I think I like this answer the best.

This is interesting also, to me, because I have never been able to decide if noise is actually abstract or not. In many ways, it seems much more literal, representationally speaking, that most music. When someone says that a noise composition sounds like people banging pieces of metal together, the...

Not music, noise.

Or: Not-music=noise?

if someone ever wants to get up your ass about if noise is or is not music you can hit em with one of these https://i.imgur.com/OabS3xO.png This is interesting also, to me, because I have never been able to decide if noise is actually abstract or not.

I think also that settling on a definitive answer to this question sidesteps the changing nature of noise both in and of itself and as a historical entity. Rock and roll was once "noise," but it has since become expectation.

Noise is music when music is defined loosely. Noise is not music when noise is defined specifically.

I have been able to log in, but the "remember me" feature has been nonfunctional. (For clarity too, I use multiple forums, and the others can all keep me logged in---so I don't think it's an issue with cookies on my end, but I could be wrong.)

While I have dipped into this project in the past, I have not taken any sort of deep dive. What albums are the most important/best? I'm missing a few of the classic era albums, but out of the stuff I have, Autopsy Soundtrakks (industrial, dark ambient), Tekhnodrug (psychout industrial of sorts) and...

RE: modern cut up - I'd be inclined to agree that it's an area I lack much interest in. I find it to be one the areas of contemporary noise that most occupies a kind of flashy, rockist space where values of skill and technique are tacitly favoured in the presentation above most others.

Unless you are Vomir, there is really no excuse!

A thing to ask is at what point "cut-up" might be substituted by "editing". Confused? Should be. That's part of why this whole "cut-up" genre of harsh noise has always felt weird to me. When I hear "cut-up," I tend to think about Burroughs and all the philoso...

I wish I was...

I guess what is interesting to me about the new boxsets, at least the smaller ones, is that they sounded as though they each are representative of a swath of releases from a specific time period, which, to me, would at least give whatever is on them---filler or otherwise---some historical context/v...
