whats some sick nasty noise pop?
>>61579276
I don't think this is the thread for that.
But try Barbed Wire Kisses (by JAMC), A Place to Bury Strangers, Xinlisupreme, early Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev, Moonshake Medicine and The Raveonettes
I'm excited for /mu/'s noise songs being added to the Bandcamp page. Is there any news on that?
>>61579515
It'll be done uploaded after the 23rd, when all submissions are done. There are apparently 21 artists or so so far, and it's confirmed over 2 hours. I think the submission date should be moved closer, but that's just me.
>>61579734
Same; I can't wait. I wonder how everyone'll perform.
>>61579276
>>>/shugazi/
That'll get you some better answers than here.
>>61580076
What're you listening to /noise/?
This one's been growing on me.
>>61581247
Can I ask what you enjoy about Aftertime? I've never really gotten the appeal of that record, even though I really love Life Cycle and Third Law
>>61582139
Its hard yo say, I was really not into it for a while but I recently gave it another chance after reading some reviews for it and I guess im feeling what he's doing with the slow pulsing noise + strings combo. Im really getting into the atmosphere of it.
>>61582599
And to elaborate. Lifecycle grabbed me much faster than aftertime, and is what made me go back and try aftertime again.
> Used to make noise music all the time and love doing it
> People tell you it was good
> Those same people turn around in a few months and make fun of you and what you do
> Lose all desire to keep making music and considering ending other projects you're part of
Fucking kill me why are people so cruel
>>61582599
>>61582676
Fair enough. I guess maybe Aftertime just isn't for me, I don't think it's consistent at all.
>>61582856
If you're not a devoted listener and student of noise you've got no business making it, mate.
Too many shit Bandcamp noise projects out there as it is.
>>61582918
I am devoted to it, though; and more over I enjoy it.
I just feel stabbed in the back because everyone literally did a 180 on me seemingly out of nowhere and it feels like shit.
>>61582948
Who are these people you are referring to? The crowd in these threads?
>>61582980
Just people I know online, that sort of thing. I don't post my stuff in here.
>>61582860
If your not feeling it don't force it, I an certainly see where you're coming from on this one.
Anyone have a link for this one?
geez Xern0n was right, /noise/ is dead
here's a fresh share:
Hair Police - Obedience Cuts (2004) [320]
>noise, death industrial
https://mega.nz/#!kQUhGD7T!WB_DWgjeR8VWLNh4muz7VjklmDT_Kts8AYTxIAIWcZg
this is the hanson bandcamp version, in better quality and extended, opposed to that incomplete 192kbps rip floating around
>>61582856
>>61582948
>>61583097
man, who cares about people online? do you think aphex twin or merzbow care about people dissing them online?
you have to have an accurate assessment of yourself or as close as possible and consider that in relation to your goals or purpose of doing it. if your fairweather friends online put you down but you know you're onto something and it's thrilling to you then don't let them stop you.
>>61584750
It always dies this time of year, this is exactly how it was last Jan. No biggie, i'll take this over how last year was full of a certain noise-shit-poster.
I got off work early & im chilling at McD's with some fries. No noise yet but since you shared that, i'll try it when i get home.
>>61585465
Yeah, man. Share the best you've got; I'm already finished the Beats, Noise and Life one you linked.
if anyone feels like giving feedback.

>>61587070
Merzbow's "Tauromachine".
If you haven't heard it, you should. :^)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIc_Rm9Xb8w
>>61587100
it has the fucking title on it, I'm fucking stupid, thank you
>>61579372
It's /noise/, not /hnw/ or /harshnoise/ or /ultrainaccessible"music"forbasementdwellers/
>>61587701
Noise rock and noise pop have never been discussed in /noise/.
These threads are for noise, industrial, musique concrète/general electroacoustic music etc.
>>61587701
noise pop is not /noise/, that's like saying shoegaze is /noise/
>>61586684
lemme see what I can scrounge up
>>61586802
it comes and goes from my experience, there's a never solid consistency until the late fall/winter months.
I like how dancy/minimal/technoindustrial the first track on this record sounds.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDl8Eq4dsz8
More like this? I'm already into Christian Cosmos and Vatican Shadow, by the way.
>>61587701
I just made the thread assuming it'd harbor general noise discussion, like harsh noise and regular noise and things like that. :^)
On a sidenote: Anyone know any bands like Whitehouse? Powertools, lots of screaming and the like.
>>61588203
Cocaine Death is pretty PE.
Can bands like Xinilsupreme and The Goslings be discussed in /noise/?
>>61588444
The Goslings is pure shit, trips guy.
>>61588444
As long as it's noise, I don't see why it shouldn't be.
>>61588136
>>61588136
Damn this is good
>>61588136
Prurient - through the window
Evening /noise/, what's happening? I'm not listening to any noise rn (Listening to an Electric Eels comp) but I'm about to throw on a new Vomir tape I picked up once that's done.
>>61591496
Just finished watching kill the messenger so now im listening to vatican shadow cause its thematically relevent
>>61591496
have this on and it's alright I guess. I feel I'm too tired to enjoy it atm.
>>61593071
fucking forgot the image
>>61593071
Sometimes I find that sleep deprivation really helps my enjoyment of noise. It has to be the right kind though.
are there any good noise facebook groups?
>>61593169
I agree normally but with albums I havent heard before, it tends to not work out. Stuff like NATO-Uniformen & Sigh In Depressive Blue though, that's good shit when tired.
>>61579785
Judging by the other recent compilation, there should be a mix of the usual posters, as well as some newcomers, and the obligatory rhythmic noise track
>>61579515
noise comps dude here. i've been uploading it to noisecomps.bandcamp.com, but I'm having set to private until it gets released
>>61579734
i'm considering moving the date up, if not, if it goes 4 or more hours, I'm most likely splitting it up into 2 or 3 parts.
>>61579785
it's sounding pretty tight so far. good variety of stuff on here
>>61594997
>>61579734
forgot to say this also, there are actually 25 confirmed artists on there right now, but I still have to upload 5 more tracks (i think) tonight so that's 30 artists now.
About to have some company over but in the mean time I'm just having a little death industrial me-time with Proiekt Hat
>>61594997
>>61595072
How are you going about ordering the tracks? Good to see so many people submitting to this thing.
>>61597278
Damn it I love Deep Jew. lo fi noise like this is the best.
>>61597325
whats your favorite release?
ive only started to listen
>>61597348
They've only got a few releases, I usually just put them all on one after another.
Ugliest Man Dog Blood would probs be my fav, it's their longest release.
bump that shit
I'll be spending June in Japan, visiting Tokio, Osaka and Kyoto and some smaller cities. I'd like to go and see some music as well, are there venues that have noise acts or is noise not popular enough to have regular gigs?
>>61586723
The opening track is quite repetitive, though does have a really nice progression to it. Bit too dancy and upbeat for my tastes in noise, though keep it up
>>61598800
ty, what do you mean by opening track?
>>61600128
of your distrofia ep
>>61600128
sidequestion, other anon. Why putting afx and merc is such a bad idea? They are from very different musical worlds, but they both don't give a fuck about their audience, cause they do what they want to do.
>>61600191
oh i see. it's the first track i ever made but i guess they're all a little repetitive. maybe try wasabi if yr into harsher noise.
>>61600250
it wasn't really meant to be an objective statement, i just got beef with merzbow. in short, yr right.
>>61579266
Is there any noise with as much emotion as I am a lake of burning orchids?
>>61600294
are you for real
the fuck are you even doing making noise if you don't understand the significance of fucking merzbow
>>61600306
i wish people finally realized that i am a lake of burning orchids and that guy's other project are trash
listen to navicon torture technologies and damien dubrovnik and leave that subpar bandcamp shit behind
>>61600349
it's not about significance. i hate his guts
still, there are noise musicians ages ahead than merzbow, you know.
>>61579276
Maybe HEALTH, especially the new DEATH MAGIC album.
>>61600388
other anon. well duh of course there are many noisicians ahead of him, but he's in japanoise since like forever
Stopped lurking /noise/ for some reason, and now you've all been making music together?
fuck me, I wish I'd known this, I love making noise
>>61600444
that doesn't mean one has to like him in order to appreciate or make noise.
although, as i said, mine is more of an irrational beef. i don't mind his works.
>>61600388
>i hate his guts
in what way has he wronged you?
>there are noise musicians ages ahead than merzbow
whoever the noise musicians you are referring to are(and while i'd agree that more consistent noise artists do exist i can't think of more than like 4 or 5 others whose bodies of work are as rewarding as his when explored in depth and on one's own instead of just listening to the most "popular" releases), it is highly likely that they would not even end up making noise if it wasn't for merzbow
his influence is massive and undeniable in every regard, from the sounds to the presentation and context in which the sounds are put to the way in which the noise underground itself came to operate and continues to operate today
his discography doesn't begin with pulse demon and venereology, you know?
>>61600486
jesus god.
you fucking win, i'll listen to his whole discography, ok?
now stop giving me shit for a comment i didn't even remember making, i already admitted to being wrong like three times.
>>61600567
well this is a disadvantage of being a tripfriend. Nobody would pay attention to random anon.
>>61600567
>i'll listen to his whole discography, ok?
i recommend it
fucking soundcloud noise, i swear
total uninformed dilettantism
>>61600587
well you just helped me broaden my horizons. i don't consider that a disadvantage.
>>61600608
>not liking merzbow automatically makes someone uninformed about noise
i've never denied being a dilettante though.
>>61600631
>i've never denied being a dilettante though
fair enough
seriously though, check out rainbow electronics, antimonument and great american nude/crash for hi fi
I am trying to find this album. It was released in 9th of January 2011 by Duve Tapes. Anybody knows anything about it?
flea market finds for 20€
win
>>61601156
How do they sell this at the flea market?
>>61601156
holy fuck, what sorta flea market is that?
>>61600670
i definitely will
>>61601346
it's this local vegan cafe that lets people host shows and happenings with a diy angle. they have a flea market once a month where anyone can have a booth free of charge and a dude today was just selling a load of noise for 1-3€ apiece
I'll be a very happy boy on this depressing night if somebody could post a bit about Climax Denial's work.
I've been listening to him a lot lately and I'm in the mood to hear somebody else's opinions about his sound and aesthetic.
Hope yall's nights is better than mine.
>>61601428
>it's this local vegan cafe that lets people host shows and happenings with a diy angle. they have a flea market once a month where anyone can have a booth free of charge
sounds like a cool place
did you talk to the guy much? judging by that selection, it seems like he'd probably be pretty interesting to talk to about noise
and what country is this? just asking since most of what you got came out on finnish labels
>>61601551
yeah it's awesome and in finland! dig me some eric lunde and couldn't ignore the industrial recollections reissues. the peeps here are terse also i'm shy but he was happy to persuade me into buying the killer bug album and the one with lasse marhaug on it based on my picks. finally found me some m.b. and that grunt/prurient split i need a better rip of
Does free improv count?
>>61601156
>Koskimo House Post
oh you bastard
>>61597267
In the order I receive them
>>61601780
fucking finland, i envy any noisehead who lives there
aside from sweden and maybe norway there's no healthier and more productive noise scene anywhere else in europe
and the killer bug comp is fantastic, nice of the guy to convince you to get it
didn't hear that marhaug-related CD but that guy is rarely involved with anything less than solid so i doubt you wasted your money on that either
>>61601783
well, duh, of course it does. Give what you have, mister.
About a city-noise-comp. I am asking in advance so don't expect anything.
Can I make cassette tape with the compilation? Not to sell, of course, but just to have it, you know.
>>61601523
climax denial is pretty direct and straightforward with his themes, i don't know how much room for discussion there is there
love the dude's work though, this tape in particular is, i think, a 21st century north american PE classic
extremely sordid vibes

anyone here got their hands on the sensitivity training DVDr?
>>61602493
noise comp dude here, that's cool
speaking of killer bug, is anyone here gonna be heading to amplified humans later this year?
just when you think there's no way the lineup can get any better they add wiese to it, fucking nuts
Anyone going to see the first and last live show of Maurizio Bianchi? I'm thinking of traveling for this.
>>61603920
i would love to see that
isn't bianchi a born-again christian recluse these days or something? i wonder how they managed to convince him to do a gig
>>61604893
Why are noise folks always so weird
>>61605668
Music can be a very important form of expression and exploration, and noise as something particularly harsh and exploring blunt and taboo subjects has the potential for attracting a certain kind of people. I think I remember David Keenan saying in a lecture that noise music went where other people were too afraid to go. Not saying that's necessarily his case, and I don't know that artist, but just that single post makes me think of David Tibet, who went from an Atheist preoccupied with the idea of religion and death to a Christian in a decade, and his journey is palpable in his music.
>>61606212
my god, i need to relisten Sleep Has His House now, thanks anon.

>>61608540
hello, i remember you.
sample from porn while flies fly all over and some broken oscilator oscilates. In this context it sounds like the lady doesn't enjoy her cereal at all. Maybe she eats it too fast. And now she's chocking the food. Very erotic work so far, but i think it needs some more explicit change at 2:00, some change of pace. Like 2:42 but way earlier. I like how ironically the SHRHSH reproduces the sounds of the sample on some point. Sadly, I think it is way too long, and a bit aimless in the middle. It ends without a conclusion.
>>61609007
Thanks. It's an older sketch and a different take will be on the debut EP.
What kind of headphones do you use to edit your noise? I can never find anything that doesn't overemphasize the bass.
>>61609731
Sennheiser's HD series are good for the purpose.
Bump.

>>61600486
if you go by more essential and interesting, I would at least mention The New Blockaders who also influenced Merzbow a lot
Merzbow pioneered so much about the artform that it's basically an ideological minefield to say that you like noise without liking at least a few of his albums.
Like I'm not crazy about a lot to of his work but Aqua Necromancer, Zophorous, and Rainbow Electronics are amazing to me, and his catalogue is so varied that basically everybody is going to have different releases that they cherish.
I would go so far as to say that if you claim to not like ANYTHING Merzbow has done, you're just being contrarian for the sake of it.
I'm sure its been discussed before, but does anyone know of any noise that utilizes field recordings of natural habitats?
>>61579266
shut up and help finds nicks guitar for $5000
>>61615622
Not noise, but if you haven't heard of it, there's Dominick Fernow's Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement.
As for noise, White Hand's Prologue/Epilogue has a bit of it. Very creepy dark soundscapes with dogs, closing gates, crickets, muffled voices, howling, saws, bowls dropping, and wind.
>>61615622
Jacob Kirkegaard's '4 Rooms' is kind of close. More drone-y. Check it out.
>>61615622
Also, I don't think you can get non-ambient noise out of nature recordings. Nature's kind of known for its quietness, and noise music was literally inspired by the harshness of modern society's machinery. Did you have something more specific to work with?
>>61616278
You could. In particular you could create a nice percussive noise collage with discernible field recordings throughout or coming in an out at intervals. I'd work something up myself if I had some personally recorded samples to work with.
>>61616278
Possibly something in the HNW realms? I know The Rita has used field recordings of sharks, so I was thinking maybe someone could have done something similar with maybe insects or waterfalls or what have you.
I'm working on something with frogs and cicadas, though I feel it would better be described as ambient noise.
>>61616014
>Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement.
This sounds very up my alley.
>>61616343
Well, now I've inspired myself to make yet another noise another project. Maybe I'll actually finish this one!
So this morning I'm listening to Alienated and Radicalized by Brethren, and the rhetoric of his songs reminds me a lot of fire-and-brimstone type Christian sermons, is there any other music with this sort of tone?
Racist/anti-semitic or not, I don't care, I just like to hear people yell about extreme ideologies they truly believe with every fiber of their being.
It's not the viewpoint that matters to me, it's the conviction, you know?
>>61615622
>>61616278
There's a pretty great bandcamp project out there (not mine) that deals with ecology theme, and from what I can tell uses field recordings as source material for HNW stuff.
https://ecoterror.bandcamp.com
Anyone still not submitted their track for the compilation? I'm just about done and ready to upload to sc.
>>61618917
I was under he impression that a number of people were planning on submitting it on the 21st
>>61618958
hmm righto. I know the cut off date is the 23rd
>>61619055
Maybe the 23rd then, that's what I thought the cutoff date was but I haven't been following this that closely. either way I think at least a couple people said they were planning on submitting tracks on the cutoff date.
>>61618917
>>61618958
>>61619055
>>61619205
noise comp dude here, as of right now, the cutoff is still the 23rd

>>61616014
>White Hand's Prologue/Epilogue
Got a link? Only found their first tape on slsk.
Currently obsessed with 80s noise projects, and never heard of White Hands till today.
Anyone want to take a listen to this new track I just finished?
https://soundcloud.com/minimalimpactnoise/tiles-vs-strangler-fig-burpengary-is-a-suburb
>>61616982
It's nice seeing your own music posted by other people. Thanks guys. Yeah the recent release is based on field recordings I made in Tasmania, mainly of birds singing in the morning. It's not completely unrecognisable but I might think that because I know the source material.
>>61622293
Nice mix of sounds you got. This comp is gonna be really cool
>>61616982
I am still mad about non-existing tapes. Also bumperu
I've found myself only listening to noise in the past few months, I need to convince myself to listen to anything but. This shit is addictive, all the different textures and frequencies. That being said, it does help distinguish the good and bad in other music.
>>61622324
I didn't notice any birds and when I listened, I'll have another go tomorrow and see if I can hear any
Anything similar to Kazumoto Endo? Not only Japanoise but also Western
>>61624521
There's a reason why it's called Japanoise, you know
>>61624559
Because it's from Japan, not because it's a different standard of noise music.
>>61624521
sickness
jaakko vanhala
maaaa

>>61624559
japanoise isn't an actual genre, it's just an obsolete catch-all term for noise produced in japan
the term is never even used by people who actually are into noise, just by outsiders who don't understand what it means
kk null has got nothing in common with hanatarash despite both of them being "japanoise"
>>61623694

Same here, can't wait for a higher quality rip of third law
>>61626271
>noise
>higher quality
the fucking irony
>>61626749
leave
>>61626749
noise(at least some if it aye, not making any guarantees for grimy poorly-recorded home-dubbed grey wolves tapes from the late 80s) benefits more than most other genres from proper high-quality ripping due to the highly dynamic and texturally rich nature of it
just the difference between a 192k rip and a 320k one can be massive in some cases
another good example are those home-dubbed hospital prod. tapes and their digital reissue equivalents
having those tapes or the rips of those tapes for years and then hearing the proper cleaned-up digital reissues of them is like hearing the material for the very first time
>>61626874
>having those tapes or the rips of those tapes for years and then hearing the proper cleaned-up digital reissues of them is like hearing the material for the very first time
Oh yes, it's fucking frustrating after all this time still listening to shit rips, like for example, Alberich's Psychology of Love
There's a digital rip available but everyone's copy is the shitty surface noise vinyl version.
>>61626984
yeah, that whole batch of LPs had a lot of people complaining about getting badly pressed copies
I understand the desire for high quality rips, but I really love the high nitrate tape rips.
Tape just seems to emphasise the sort of frequencies that I love in noise, when I hear these digital remasters I still kind of wish they had that lo-fi tape hiss muck.
>>61627304
>nitrate
Bitrate, lol
>>61627304
oh don't get me wrong, i love the murkiness of rough home-dubbed tapes and the way that just the method of duplication can sometimes have a really strong effect on the nature of the material and the ways in which it connects with the listener, i've come to realize that with some releases i actually prefer them to proper hi-fi reissues or remasters
not to mention the whole personal aspect of it

Why is Sissy Spacek so based, bros?
>>61630940
wiese? I value him more than Dominic in terms of orginality desu
>>61630940
I don't like noisecore, so whatever.
What are their albums which have longer pieces of musique concrete? I remember reading about this here a few threads ago.
>>61631811
which do you like more on an enjoyment basis?
>>61632899
really hard to say. It works more like passing interest. There are days when I think that wiese is best thing ever only to find myself loving dom(tho i really prefer his earlier works) at the other day.
>>61633027
I get you man.
what is the most popular form of noise? ive only really ever listened to wall noise, never could stand anything too spastic
>>61633083
power electronics? I don't really have any data on that though. it'd really depend on how you defined "noise"
>>61633083
that form where guy with bunch of pedals does anal reconstruction. But seriously, I don' think there is any way to really group noise. Sure, you can group guys who do cut-up, guys who play with records, guys who play with scrap metal, guys who yell into microphones, guys who screech their brains away, guys who do PE, guys who do digital noise ala Venta, guys who...
good shit
>>61600388

i'm most likely not. but where is it that you live?

check out the rest of GC's discog, you won't be disappointed
Today, I'm going to listen to Swastika Kommando's 1983.
>>61639249
I got through that a little while back, it's a pretty monumental release
For some reason, if an album is like 80 minutes I'll think "God that is too long, I don't feel like that right now" but I never have any feelings like that when it comes to super long releases like 1983 or NATO-Uniformen.
Can somebody give me some beginners noise recommendations or a chart? I really enjoy While You Were Out by Kazumoto Endo and some of The Gerogerigegege (especially Hell Driver). I'm also a big fan of Boredoms, but I don't think they count.
>>61640495
there isn't really a good chart
macronympha - philadelphia pennsylvania
merzbow - Batztoutai with Memorial Gadgets
hanatarash - 2 (I think this is the one I liked the best, it's been a while since I last listened to hanatarash but you seem to like the more spastic side of noise and they do that well)
