Scream & Writhe Forum

I reckon this is too difficult thing to codify into a set of preferences. Too many variables as to what can make a live performance suck or seem outstanding from one given day to another. I don't think I'm especially bothered with seeing an artist throwing themselves around in an engaging reverie an...

Cosey’s playing of bass/guitar in TG remains kind of untouchable

the Cementimental one is underrated. Much like Cementimental in general. Agree on the K2 tape. Fantastic. Really any of the 'ron+minutoli+the artist's record/s' are big winners in my book. The Haters one is extremely special and in some ways is the most pertinently Haters sounding thing I've heard ...

I’ve never sat down to properly take in any of his solo work however the album ‘Endless’ pan sonic did with Alan Vega was one of my earliest, most directly head opening moments.

Messed with a number of techniques live to produce cut up sounds but nothing so effective as 4 track tape deck > delay/looper. Each track filled with different frenetic material. Rapid cuts and different vol/pan configs. So easy, so fun. Evidenced here https://youtu.be/ESXVgWc2ln0?si=vxhPtuEqbhuWReJ4

adhuman presents: MP Hopkins (Sydney, Australia) A real favourite at adhuman hq, MP Hopkins is an audio, visual and installation artist not seen here in Brighton since 2016's Colour Out of Space festival. Feedback, snippets of speech and voice, the nuances of knackered playback devices and the means...

I just listened to the Sun 0))) + Boris release ALTAR. Had drums, was an enjoyable listen. I find folks who put restrictions on what can and cannot be noise ridiculous. Yeah me too on whole but I’d probably ignore recommendations for Earth 2 when asking for records similar to Altars of Madness, des...

Shots-Private hate LP Graham Lambkin and many KYE releases comes to mind. Maybe some Darksmith releases? All very correct. The Shots LP is insane in its (brilliant) understated boringness. Like a single field recording but, I'd guess, made from a bunch of different contributions. Lambkin is kind of...

Whenever I see this thread I think of my parents fighting. The Humectant Interruption & Crank Sturgeon collab tape on Spite from 1998(?) has sounds of Joel's (Humectant) parents arguing. That and lots of radio buzz. Superb noise tape which kinda qualifies for this thread. There’s a Coits album ...

In fact I don’t believe I’ve seen/heard any kind of concerted ‘noise and live drums’ situation that wasn’t just a load of tossed off, tastelessly maximal, rockist bollocks. I remain open minded, however. With the exceptional exception of live drummer'd Hijokaidan, I'd (generally) be inclined to agr...

Seen Merzbow with Keiji Haino once where he (Akita) got behind a drum kit and started wailing over the noise. It was shit on reflection. In fact I don’t believe I’ve seen/heard any kind of concerted ‘noise and live drums’ situation that wasn’t just a load of tossed off, tastelessly maximal, rockist ...

First things first - NOT VIDEOS OF COOL NOISE THINGS. I LOVE THOSE HIJOKAIDAN VIDEOS TOO BUT THIS ISN'T WHAT THE THREAD IS ABOUT I do a lot of my listening on headphones at work which means a lot of album uploads on youtube. Increasingly it's possible to find a load of shit that one used to only be ...

Graham Lambkin | Community | Kye Not sure if you'd say this is his best but it may be the most classic capsule instance of what he gets up to? Closely recorded sounds, further away ones that sound like they're happening in a room, bits of tape, bells (too many probably, but this is a problem Lambkin...

Some picks from the last few days C.R. Odette | Yamilet | 2016 | All Gone C.R. Odette | Castle Two | 2017 | Chocolate Monk C.R. Odette | C.R. Odette | 2015 | Vitrine Jesus I really, REALLY love this project and am happy to see some bits I'd not heard quite recently uploaded to youtube. I hope this c...

Mostly here to listen because I have similar questions about the Haters BUT one of my big discoveries has been the RRRecycled cassette. Now this is from the era of Ron doing fuckeries to an artist's record and dubbing it a RRRecycled tape but there is something about this notion that totally works w...

Nice to see the Christian Mirande lp mentioned.

Same for Wino Lodge - the roll they’ve been on for the last couple of years is scary.

CIA Debutante - Down Willow. Likely to end up an album of the year in this house. Might be the best one yet? Certainly the most confident.

Max Julian Eastman's Zabriskie/Manor needs a large shout out here.

It sounds like hyperbole but truly if the data could actually be gathered I'm confident the same result would bear out.

I’d definitely fly to cork for a Leah P/USC/Dressing show. Sure I’m not the only one.

The same as one conveys any idea through noise: you don’t but say you do.

Snooper's Paradise have mountains of old vinyl. You could look for hours and find nothing. @adult human still I never got round to ripping and uploading that spoken word 7" about photocopiers i found that time There’s still time. Though I suppose it may not work as well as audio alone. Demands...
