Harsh Noise

The genre varies quite a bit, because there are an infinite number of ways to make noise.
Lots of noise artists dabble in other styles of music as well.

>there are an infinite number of ways to make noise.
Of course. Could you recommend anything in the opposite direction of Merzbow then?

The New Blockaders are pretty cool.
Boyd Rice/NON is a lot of fun, although that's more like classic industrial than straight noise.

A lot of noise is near-random. Merzbow's music is not near-random.

The level of control he exerts over the sound varies from release to release.
Some of it is very tight, but stuff like the Merzbox is a bit more free.

>>61941265
I swear to christ at least a few seconds of this album is a toilet flushing amplified until it clips out
I cant remember which track

Noise is pretty cool when they actually make it with those crazy machines

When it's just electronic sounds, man that's alot more boring

Prurient - Black Vase

>>61941567
I'm not high enough for this yet but thanks.
>>61941644
I'll check it out.

Near-random was a poor description. I know that he composed it with care. But the sounds themselves follow no regular pattern; the droning feedback that overlays most of the tracks is exactly that - feedback.

Only edgelords listen to Noise. Don't even bother.

>>61941927
>follow no regular pattern
yes, it's a bit chaotic. but the noise still follows a pattern for at least the first few minutes of the song, on some of his tracks there is a noticeable beat or rhythm (characterized by the noise fluctuating in volume and pitch)

>>61941919
Cool thanks for the rec.

What in particular should I pay attention to?

>>61941986
Yeah I did notice that and thought it was cool. There are a few moments in the opening track where it falls into a rhythm, and the ending to the last track does the same.

>>61941980
I won't keep myself from listening to something because of a group of people.

>>61941651
in my opinion this is part of the appeal. Controlling the feedback loop is very impressive(i am talking sickness style, not cut-up ala TEF or something).

>>61941990
other, gonna start with generic.
vag - music for smoke-filled elevators
I Am A Lake Of Burning Orchids(fucking hate it, but some love it for some reason)
Kazuma Kubota - Utsuroi (disciplined as fuck cut-up noise)

also go to /noise/ next time

>>61941265
merzbow was wasted when he made this album

>>61942077
Alright. Heading there now thanks.

>>61942077
>vag
it's vág, pleb

>>61942429
fuck, i can't respect a person who doesn't respond at my questions about buying their album.

>>61942361
Yeah I read he was drunk as fuck for most of the tracks

watch this hurricane video and imagine it's merzbow live and the palm trees are people

Listening to noise while stoned paints really vivid images in my mind

It creates environments that traditional music doesn't

I prefer Whitehouse

>>61942476
what are you even saying

>>61942517
Where did you hear that?

>>61943213

he said in an interview. basically venearology was his first album on the relapse record, a US death metal record, so he thought he'd drink cheap beer like they do and try to make it sound death metal with bass pulses

>>61943166
like, I am mad cause a person who was behind vág given up on answering after only a year(year after they had released their last album). No contact with them, which is a shame, cause I really wanted their CD

is Venerology was really your first noise album and it clicked with you right away, fucking wow

check out While You Were Out and Tokyo Anal Dynamite

>>61944710

This, when I first hear slave new desert I thought it was bullshit

Check out While You Were Out immediately. It's the most accessible noise imo and really great as an entry point
