/noise/ - Noise General

Also what's the ratio of just noise fans to noise musicians here? I feel like actually making the music lends itself to different ways of thinking about the genre and listening to the music.

>>72491490
ive been to one noise live and it sounded pretty shit

like if you want noise just dont wear earplugs to a live concert and you got plenty of white noise between your ears. ive had that shit for maybe what.. over 10 years now. it never goes away once your ear gets damaged

I'm not interested in noise at all but I have to ask
What's /mu/'s opinion on Pharmakon?
Abandon was legitimately horrifying. Any other material from her worth checking out?

>>72492223
I make shitty versions of noise music by running by phone and my wireless mouse over my bass pickup while mid and bass is turned all the way up, but I'm too much of a poorfag to buy anything to make it with

Newfag of noise here. What would you recommend? I have listened to some noise albums and so far I've only enjoyed two: Frozen Niagara Falls and 三生石 (San Sheng Shi), and basically everything besides those two sounds like garbage to me.

>>72492304
Play it along with a cheap drum machine, I'm sure it could sound decent. Or run a DAW on your computer.

>>72492671
>and basically everything besides those two sounds like garbage to me
Why did you think so? What other albums did you listen to? An answer to that would clarify a lot.

>>72492711
Thanks, will listen.

>>72492671
I'm still pretty new to noise as well but maybe check out 1930 by Merzbow, it's the first noise album I liked and made me want to get more into it. I like Ottoman Black suggested by anon above a lot as well.

>>72492299
>horrifying
is this good or bad, I can't tell.
In any case, I don't really care for her work besides abandon, although I haven't tried her new album from this year.

>>72492730
My problem with the other albums is that they don't sound like Noise Music, they sound like just noise with no musical effort (if anything with there was some cheap percussion). I listened to Instruments Disorder, some Merzbow albums (Pulse Demon, Merzbeat and another two, can't remember the names at the moment), While You Were Out, Life in a Peaceful New World and Bird Seed, maybe a few more.

>>72492803
Have you checked out that Adult Swim noise compilation? You might like that one. Some surprising names in there for a "noise" comp, like Arca.

>>72492742
I think I haven't listened to that one though I listened to some Merzbow already, maybe that one will click, thanks.

>>72492827
Haven't listened to it, quite odd to see Arca there (though I don't like him too much).

>>72492671
>>72492742
I guess I'll list off some other recs too:
Jason Crumer - Sheer Hellish Miasma
Yellow Swans - Going Places
^ I'd consider these two drone noise. Noise but not very harsh. Entrancing.

I Am A Lake of Burning Orchids - Innocence
This is kinda like harsh noise with sections of techno/ambient. Pretty interesting and atmospheric with a sense of direction not commonly found in noise I've heard.

Guilty Connector - Different Water
Good, harsh, and short.

I'd also recommend checking out the rest of Prurient's discography if you liked Frozen Niagara Falls, I've liked a lot of shit by him that I've heard, especially Pleasure Ground and The History of Aids.

>>72493007
>Jason Crumer - Sheer Hellish Miasma
Kevin Drumm* sorry I'm intoxicated and retarded.

>>72493007
Thanks for that. Not too much into harsh stuff, but I lose nothing with trying. Noise drone sounds interesting.

>>72492869
Yeah, I think it's meant more as an introduction to "noisier" music.

noise

Can noise rock go in /noise/? Tokyo Anal Dynamite can, why not Pink, or Vein? And if NWW can be in /noise/, why not Sunn O)))?

>>72494876
>Can noise rock go in /noise/?
If it's more noise than rock I guess.
>if NWW can be in /noise/, why not Sunn O)))?
NWW has noise works, Sunn O))) doesn't.

Any cool blogs/websites that talk about noise/noise-related music?

Can be about featuring albums obviously, but it could also be about making this sort of music,or listening to it/the scene(s)/history, etc.

nice to see /noise/ is back again. been out of the loop lately... so, what are some good new noise releases from this year?

>>72496496
People keep sandbagging Aodron and no one's talking about it, but honestly it's a pretty cool Merzbow record. There's a nice sounding Moog synth in there that gives it a nice heft and timbre that's usually lacking from a lot of harsh noise.

>>72496404
http://diemilitarmusik.clan.su/

I need some help finding good noise music. Right now I find that the majority of noise I've listened to suffers from long, monotonous songs that lack creativity and progression. And since this genre lacks melody and rhythm to a certain extent, it needs to make up for it with dynamic progressions of a musical idea. Which I believe Pulse Demon and Venerology did very well. But most importantly I want noise like untitled #1 from An anthology of noise and electronic music vol, 1. Which is melancholy, minimal, and atmospheric.

>>72498377
Cremation lily, jason crumer, aaron dilloway

>>72496404
Fucked by Noise has some good DL links

>>72498883
Yeah, I actually discovered them just now, and then made that post.

Didn't realize they were a well-known blog, though. I thought Blogspot itself was kind of obsolete, but I guess it beats having a Tumblr page.

I have a synthy EP coming out on Haujobb's label, Basic Unit Productions. (They toured with Skinny Puppy in the past/released a track with Jean Luc from Front 242. Fuck you if you don't know the Hauobbses.)

>>72499617 Here

I'm disabled, make noise, and personally think it's bullshit that a blonde, traditionally attractive white chick is being hailed as a Noise genius for writing a concept record about surviving major surgery. I'm missing a leg and have all sorts of medical problems, but fuck that cause I'm not a pretty white hipster from New York.

>>72492777
Really don't waste your time on her new album, even if it's under 30 minutes. I can't even call it remotely noisy.
Abandon was nice though.

>>72499641

This is great >>72492711
also check out Crumer's latest Stare at the Devil

>>72503796
usually follow some of the more profilic groups on facebook, or look into your local scene. A good way is to look through bandcamp then follow through with facebook. Seems to be the easiest way, at least for me.

>>72501383
...not really, considering the album was about just one major surgery. It's first world angst and it's embarrassing.


>>72501809
She promotes herself and her own pseudointellectualism.

>>72506715
>It's first world angst
Assuming you're not posting from a shithole post-Soviet country, this is the same for you, isn't it?

No offense man, but you do just sound kind of bitter and envious.

>She promotes herself and her own pseudointellectualism.
What artist doesn't promote themselves, and just because someone doesn't think the way you do doesn't mean they're "pseudointellectual". Looking through a few interviews, it seems she's more just inspired by ideas, which a lot of artists are, and for good reason, rather than "promoting pseudointellectualism".
Pseudointellectualism is stuff like Hunter Hunt-Hendrix's "thesis" on "transcendental black metal", that sort of thing. She isn't that at all.

shameless posting my noise band

https://christianlovers.bandcamp.com/

we got a split coming out with Misery Ritual this week :^)

I'm a new to noise. I got turned on to it through old-school industrial and grindcore. So far I have listened to Birdseed, Mummy and Daddy (once. That one fucked me up), Frozen Niagara Falls, some Gnaw Their Tongues records and random noise songs on Youtube. I can't say I'm a ''fan'' of most of it yet, but recommend me some good entry level noise.

>>72499641
are you mad that she has a leg up you?

>>72499126
they aren't really that well-known, I just know about them because I got Tokyo Anal Dynamite and Hybrid Noisebloom from there before I heard about SoulSeek

>>72505466
Also, what do people do at noise shows? Who attends?

>>72495622

some of O'Malley (of SUNN O))) ) has side projects that are noise/drone, like KTL or Æthenor.

Adding the pasta:


Here are the essentials
Also of note:
>The Rita - Thousands of Dead Gods
>The Goslings - Grandeur of Hair
>Adult Swim's NOISE comp. (pleb but listenable)
>WOLD - Screech Owl
>Coil - Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil
>V/A - Extreme Music From Japan
>V/A - World Record
>Deathpile - G.R.

Noteworthy Merzbow:
>Tauromachine
>Venereology
>Door Open at 8am
>A Perfect Pain (with Genesis P-Orridge of TG)
>OM Electrique (disc one of the Merzbox, listen to the rest if you're an absolute madman)
>Electric Salad
>Space Metallizer
>Noisembryo (be sure to read up on the Merzcar)
>Music for Bondage Performance (1 & 2)
>Pinkream
>Hole
>Hybrid Noisebloom
>1930
>Pulse Demon (duh)
>Merzbient
>Multiplication (with John Wiese of Sissy Spacek)
>Batztoutai with Memorial Gadgets
Amlux and Merzbeat suck but are easy to get into, other digital-era crap includes Dharma, SCSI Duck, Merzbird, etc... None of them are very good, but obviously form your own opinions of them, this is just the general consensus.
All the Merzbowris collabs are good and listenable
It's worth looking into the discographies of every artist mentioned, as well as
>Aube
>Puce Mary
>Händer Som Vårdar
>Whitehouse
>Consumer Electronics
>Vampire Belt (noise rock)
>Esplendor Geométrico
>Winterkälte
>Toshimaru Nakamura
>Ramleh
>Hanatarash
>Incapacitants

Sufjan Stevens made a noise song one time, it's a good example of noise without the nuance of an artist who's a noise artist by trade.
A couple of the above artists aren't strictly noise (some err musique concrete or other subgenres), but they typically share fans.
Don't post noise rock unless it's genuinely more noise than rock.
Album/artist/label suggestions for the pasta are welcome.

Now that that's out of the way, no entry-level noise below this point.

And lastly, only plebs EXCLUSIVELY /merzbowworship/, but only contrarians NEVER /merzbowworship/
Happy noiseposting.

Im kind of new to noise. i was wondering if there was any stuff you knew that was really playful sounding? I think kazumoto endo maybe encapsulates what im looking for.
