I remember seeing some of the posters for that Atrax Morgue show a little while ago, and the lineup for it was insane. I wished I had been around at the time in order to actually see so many of those projects together at one.Woe Is Me wrote: Sun Sep 24, 2023 7:35 pmAt the time I didn't know a ton of Atrax Morgue but from what I knew and had heard of them, I was very exited to be part of that show. It was also their US debut. My memory is more like a slide show than video, but I do remember it was very intense, excellent performance. Marco Corbelli's side project Progetto Morte played too. Also Skin Crime, Deathpile, and Bloodyminded. Fucking awesome lineup. Mark could really put a show together.SS1535 wrote: Sun Sep 24, 2023 4:55 pmThat's awesome. How was it seeing Atrax Morgue live? Was it good working with Bastard Noise?Woe Is Me wrote: Thu Sep 21, 2023 6:31 pm
I should have included a little more info maybe but it looks like you can't edit a post! I got into noise in the early 90s, really didn't know anyone in the scene but had too much noise in my head that needed to get out. Mark Solotroff listened to my demo, reviewed it in his zine, and booked me on some great Bloodlust shows with Atrax Morgue, Sshe Retina Stimulants, Orphx, Crawl Unit, and a bunch of other very cool projects. I ended up putting out a few things including a few collaborations with Bastard Noise. I then fell off the face of the earth until Lee Bartow was kind enough to add me to a show opening for Wilt/Jim Plotkin/Post Scriptvm in 2008. Ten years later I played at Eric Wood's birthday party in LA, and that's the last anyone heard of me.
Little bits of intermittent things over the years, work and life made it tough to do as much as I wished I had, but I'm still here. Nice to meet you.
I love doing stuff with BN, Eric has been a longtime friend. Anything I do in the future is partially endebted to his urging me to get off my ass. I got in touch with him after the Neanderthal 7", that blew my mind. I was already leaning towards noise and BN's stuff helped affirm that.
I met Eric once at a show he did in California, but just those 45 minutes of talking to him were enough to make a very strong impression on me. It must be great to have such a close connection with a guy like that!
