Fuck You: Fucking Noise In China Now is a film made by Dominique Lohlé and Guy-Marc Hinant from Sub Rosa – 100 minutes of electronic noise music and harsh speeches – a road movie between Beijing and Shanghai. Featuring artists Torturing Nurse, Wang Changcun, Wang Fan, Li Jian Hung/Dickson Dee, the ...

Antediluvian played here the other month and it was surreal. I know that Tim/Haasiophis went to art school and it definitely shows in how they present that band in a unique and interesting way. Totally brilliant stuff in my opinion. He also does vocals in another more out there project called LARVA...

Thank you! Grabbed mine. Been waiting a long time to see them.

Though I'm late, I'd also like to chime in with the others in saying Sarah Davachi, Kali Malone and Ellen Arkbro are all fantastic. In the last year or so, I've been listening to these albums pretty consistently: Pierre Henry ‎– Maléfices (Phillips, 1962) - Father of musique concrète. Cacophonic/Fin...

I'm slowly working through Michael Haneke's filmography. And I mean slowly. Each movie I've seen of his enters pretty emotionally bleak territory, so I'm not in a rush to marathon-watch them. Last night, I sat down with The Seventh Continent . Very good, especially considering it's his film debut, t...

Exactly! And this is why I think statements like "you will die and then nothing will matter, so allegiances to specific mediums or worrying about how to release your music isn't worth your mental energy..." are useless, though they are correct. From the perspective of the universe or the ...

So it isn't worth sweating the idea of how to release music too much, only that you should be creating as much as possible but releasing only your very best work. Well, as we all die anyway and nothing matters in the end, why not release everything? Or even better: why bother to create anything at ...

I collected vinyl obsessively for about 15 years until I had to sell my entire collection to fund a move to Montreal. Also, it's hard not to become a bit soured with vinyl as a medium now due to its appropriation by the mainstream. I buy cassettes exclusively now because of limited finances, but the...

My pals from back in the day were in a great grindcore band called Poser Disposer . For fans of Nasum, Phobia, Disrupt. They toured with Dr. Know, Mass Grave, and did a few dates with Cattle Decapitation, too. Still very easy to find their records. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiDSn...

I spent my Saturday morning reading Japrocksampler: How the Post-War Japanese Blew Their Minds on Rock 'n' Roll by Julian Cope. Though I find his writing style somewhat obnoxious, Cope certainly did his research and provides a good overview of Japanese rock history before devoting chapters to more i...

Dragged Into Sunlight have been teasing a new album for a long time, but still no official release date announced. I checked out their EP from 2020, which is just one song a half hour in length. Seems like it was a bit of a throwaway release, potentially to end their contract with Prosthetic? I reme...

Not sure if anyone else is into erotica, but I've recently read Little Birds , a collection of short stories by Anaïs Nin, and The Image by Jean de Berg. Both were fantastic and very well written. I've picked up a few other books in the same vein that I'll get to reading this spring. This is me if y...

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...

The internet radio station NTS is excellent. They have a large variety of programs and hosts who program different playlists. Here's a link to all their programs with the Avant-garde/Noise tag: https://www.nts.live/explore/genre/avantgarde-noise . Click around. I'm sure you'll end up finding a coupl...

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.

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. ...

Glad this thread is here. I'm very interested in musique concrète, experimental, and avant-garde, which extends to the jazz world to a degree as well. 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...

For the past couple years, new releases get 3-5 deep listens so that I feel I know the release and have a bit of a relationship with it, and then it gets moved off the pile. It's time consuming with proper albums and really slows down my ability to keep up with the insane amount of new releases cons...

Been a tad obsessed with this one as of late. It's mixed very well and has a multitude of diverse sounds, so the headphones experience has been vital.

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 and slowly getting a new label (Disaster Sources) off the ground, which I'm also hoping to...
