Re: Releases of note, 2024
However I admire the foot it has in a TNB school of properly non-musical, non-entertainment sound. Seconded, the Mogao tape is really good. A friend and I were listening to it recently and he compared it to Spring of Life in how it’s put together, if not in its sound. It was a great call. Do you me...

Re: Releases of note, 2024
Very much enjoyed the recent Tahma and Mogao releases on Satatuhatta. Only listened on headphones through bandcamp so far but they've left an impression. Looking forward to getting the Tahma on tape and may or may not go back and hunt down Mogao's on physical pending another listen. Tahma's stuff ap...

Re: Hospital/NWN Fest in Osaka
Gonna be in Japan at the time of the fest but...not going. Ridiculous eh? Not looking forward to attempting to do record shopping with the rest of you fiends in town. I have at least two or three record stores in Osaka that are off the usual beaten path for you. My man. You've def given me one in t...

Re: Releases of note (so far) for 2023
I haven't heard (or even heard OF) most of the stuff people have listed. What webzines/blogs should I be reading? I already read Untitled zine, Noise Receptor (print version), and Noise Widow... Happy to be corrected on this but I don't think it's a matter of following certain blogs or zines. Not t...

Reliably informed there’s a lot more good shit in the works for next year. A solo Constance release just came out on monk which rules.

Re: Releases of note (so far) for 2023
Always difficult to do this justice. But according to my notes I enjoyed these particularly...there's some stuff here I wouldn't have thought actually came out this year. No doubt a bunch of stuff in the 'to listen' pile from this year that would have been on the list were I to get to it in time. Ma...

Re: Now Playing
Smegma - Son of Geek (Pigface Records) My one bandmate gave me this one with the glowing endorsement of “this tape fuckin’ sucks, you can keep it.” This is the second time this has happened, and the second time that the tape has actually turned out to be great. These PNW freaks play their little br...

Re: Star - Elephant in the Snow (2CD) - Hospital Productions
The liner notes tell the listener that this release is meant to be thought of as a complete and separate work from the rest of the artist's catalog, one that "anyone can understand" seemingly without prior exposure to the project's output. Even as a totally vehement supporter and advocate...

Re: Mysterious/Anonymous Projects
Totally enamored might be a stretch, but long term big fan of Zone Nord and The New Blockaders. Hints here and there as to who they are, but I don't think they've ever been completely outed? Haven't dug much myself, not sure I want to know too much. The secrecy has definitely served both projects. ...

Re: Mysterious/Anonymous Projects
Weird, I don't tend to think of Darksmith in those terms but maybe that's because I've seen him live and sometimes see photos of him etc. I think in general though you're not going to find a tonne of info about people doing low key noise and/or abstract music unless they put it out there themselves....

Re: THE RITA
The Rita is compelling because it does two things at once. It draws from art world treatment of subject - in this case sound - and inserts that methodology into a distinct underground subculture known as harsh noise. His obsession with crushing walls and lines or whatever is absolutely equivalent to...

Re: THE RITA
Yes good point, the work can still be underwhelming and not remarkable. But I’ve definitely never gone in for ideas that recordings or techniques should be complex or ‘real’ or anything like that. I’ve got plenty of time for high concept, low enjoyment music where nearly all of the aesthetic take aw...

Re: THE RITA
That documentary revealed some kind of flawed ideas at the heart of his approach imo. The suggestion is that he uses recordings relevant to these obsessions he has and then processes those sounds through pedals. I like this idea as a way of tying in noise making with a given thematic approach, but w...

Re: Noise in the Mainstream
Berberian Sound Studio features a number of improv and sound art guys on and off camera. Main character is partially based on Adam Bohman and the Bohman Bros themselves even make a brief cameo. No shit?? I saw the film when it came out, and loved it, but had no idea what Bohman looked like back the...

Re: Noise in the Mainstream
Anyone seen Peter Strickland's Flux Gourmet from 2022? Debatable whether this is mainstream I guess, but it does star Gwendoline Christie and Asa Butterfield and is available through fucking Amazon Prime and Apple TV - that marks it as overground in my book. The sound art tools featured throughout ...

Re: Synth Sounds: Old and New
what you get is a LOT of "lowest note taped down and filter sweep" kinds of songs. Very little composition attitude or stretching the capabilities of a synth beyond the initial dopamine reaction of sub-bass drones. Hobbyist constraints. This is it here. “I want to make music that sounds l...

Re: Synth Sounds: Old and New
Why is it that synth sounds used in a lot of the 80s/90s stuff seem so much better than those used in newer music? Naive and barebones recording approaches imo. Shit mics, shit tape decks, zero idea of what they were up to. Just Doing It. The whole greater than the parts. They probably had way more...

Re: Seeing & Hearing
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...
