[Atrophist]

Santeri, living in finland since 1994
Got into noise shit maybe around 2011. I'm in Circle of Shit, Junta, Lusters, The Aprils, Disco Pervitin at least. I run small tape label Rupu Tapes.

Hello everyone!

I was linked to this forum by the above member.

Location Helsinki Finland, age over 40. Atrophist is my only project, it's been active for about 5 years or so. Currently trying to find a vocalist for a second, more straightforward power electronics project.

I also organise live events in the Helsinki area, with varying levels of success. The early years were hit and miss, lately it's been going much better, if I say so myself. I like to think of each live event as a part of a series, the current ones I have going are Noise Space (eight so far) and Audible Wounds (two so far).

If you're interested in performing live or collaborating, feel free to DM me.

[hyena]

giona vinti, almost 45, northern italy.
been performing and producing stuff for the last about 20 years under various names, my oldest project still ongoing is hyena. started as a solo breakcore act, evolved into a bit more open ended industrial breakbeat meet noise and dark ambient project. i have some records out on various labels, my latest being a 12" on the super cool Cathartic Noize Experience swiss label last summer. i'm one of the founding members of the italian collective\label Rexistenz (RXSTNZ) which i left some months ago to start a micro label on my own (Black Rag Productions).
i played with a couple of bands, Scum from the Sun (industrial, i played the mpc for drums, samples and textures) and Hollow Bone (slow doomy experimental trio, i played an eurorack rig for soundscapes, textures, keys, noise and resampling drum and guitar live).
i put out some stuff with the Fekete moniker (digital folk for lack of better descriptions) and now i also use my real name. i have some records out with it too, a tape on old bycicle records (experimental stuff i dug out of a forgotten hard disk) and two digital releases on Elli Records, the first of them i'm really really fond of because it was an experiment in bringing out a new type of noise music, not droning at all but extremely dynamic, spatialized and full of movement. if you want you can check it out here:
https://ellirecords.bandcamp.com/album/orc

my setup is mainly eurorack but i also have an mpc, akai s950, guitars, amp and pedals, a trogotronic Valkyrie which i just acquired and i'm totally in love with, some effects, some diy stuff, an 8 track reel to reel (fostex r8), some cassette recorders (in particular a marantz pmd 221 i modified to be able to change pitch while recording too, so it can work also as cassette tape echo) but most of all the center of it all is an allen & heath gs3, 24 tracks 8 busses out studio mixer i got for peanuts some years ago. its a beast, takes up too much space but i cannot live without it. i also have an old trusty soundcraft spirit folio sx (now it has about 25 years of service :D ) which i use for livesets.
very nice to be here with fellow noisemakers.

I had no idea there was noise in Egypt. You have my interest...

You'd think there would be more as it's the 3rd largest city in Africa. Unfortunately, nowadays it's predominately a regressive (and fascistic) monoculture that has no room for taboo smashing / disruptive art of any kind... But there are a handful of mutants lurking around making all sorts of crazy shit, and have been for years. Hell, Halim El-Dabh was making killer abstract electronic / tape music in the 40's.

You could also say noise is a bit superfluous here, at least in Cairo, 2nd loudest City in the world. It's almost continuously at 90 dBs of insanity, 24/7.

i'd love to read more about the noise/experimental music scene in egypt (as well other places unnoticed by the western musical canon, but i'm not expecting you to know it all haha). if you were to make a thread on the subject i'd subscribe to it as fast as humanly possible.

Hi, I'm Chris Sienko. I write about stuff when my brain is behaving.

No, there's not going to be an issue 2.

Very glad this board is here, though!

[M3nTl_Re5trnt_]

Oi,

Zach Moffat. Milwaukee. I do stuff occasionally when I think they aren't watching me.
Hoping to be able to bug this very calm and unbias community about projects I'm working on soon.

Excited about a refreshing new forum to loiter on!

Cheers

Not sure I'd call it a scene per se, at least not anymore. Most of the community has immigrated to Europe (*cough*Berlin), or in the process of leaving... But I'll see what I can do.
