Noise/industrial documentaries

[SS1535]

There’s also this:

Romua, Ruiskeita ja Rutinaa / Noise of Finland

Noise of Finland is a documentary about finnish noise and power electronics scene.
Loud distorted noise made with scrap metal and effect pedals are combined with extreme views and shocking visuals. The barriers of human limits and impossibility of commercial success are surpassed with limitless self expression. Movie includes the artists of the genre like Grunt, Bizarre Uproar, Manic/Depression, Sick Seed and Strom.EC

Fairly rudimentary and very short documentary film, but still interesting, imo. AfaIk it’s only available as bonus material for the DVD of the same director’s black metal documentary, Endless Flame of Gehenna.

I'm pretty sure that is the only way to get it as well. I spent a good amount of time looking for it online a while ago, but no luck.

This BBC thing about the history of COUM transmissions was a lot better than I thought it would be. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0012950 Really cool to see and hear so much from the early actors in the whole TG/Industrial story.

Out of curiosity, how long/interesting is the Bizarre Uproar interview in it?

It's been a while since I watched it so I can't comment on the content, but the whole documentary is only about 20 minutes in length.

[Out of curiosity, how long/interesting is the Bizarre Uproar interview in it?

Well, the whole thing is about 20 minutes, so …. It goes back and forth between the featured artists, by topic. It’s been ages since I saw it, but my overall impression was ”definitely interesting and worth watching, but still nothing mind-blowing”. This is regarding the whole film overall.

If memory serves, Markkula spends a lot of his own segments discussing his … erm, predilections, you probably know what I mean. In my opinion it’s definitely worth the asking price here, f.e:

Too bad. There really is an opening for a full-on film about the history of Finnish noise (maybe in the vein of Aspa's essay in Fight Your Own War). But that is a pretty cheap DVD, and the fact that there are English subtitles makes it awfully tempting - though I doubt it is on an American-format disc.

No one has asked him? My gut says he probably would not, since the DVD is still up for sale.

No, but I have seen/heard of a few of these. Tokyo Noise used to be on Youtube, it was really interesting--though I recall it being more focused on topics other than noise music. I have been meaning to watch Beyond Ultra Violence since I heard about it.
