So my one of my friends at the radio station I used to work has a noise music show on Friday afternoons, except on the schedule it's listed as a smooth jazz show :lol I just saw that there was an article in the newspaper about his show/noise music, which is here: https://www.independent.com/news/2010/jun/28/did-station-just-break/
Anyways, that inspired me to start this thread, so discuss noise music here. Merzbow of course is classic, and Continuum's second album is amazing. I also have this compilation album called Whole which has a shitload of different noise artists all contributing different tracks and parts of tracks, it's quite good. I believe it's actually free from the label, I'll see if I can find it.
edit: here it is: https://meatronic.com/release/MTR-015

Listening to the free album now...really good. Reminds of the some music I experimented with a few years ago.
-
Closest I've gotten to noise music has been with parts of Insurgentes, and that left an iffy taste in my mouth. I checked out some noise stuff and its just not for me *shrug*
-
A friend of mine tried to get me into noise by telling me it was similar to minimalist music.
As it turns out, he's a lying bastard.
-
I really like what i've heard, though i haven't heard much.
The few things i know that would probably count as noise:
*Insurgentes (spread out on several songs)
*Molotov and Haze (Molotov and Corrosive)
*Ashes Against the Grain (The Grain)
-
Bass Communion's Molotov and Haze is great too.
I got into Merzbow a couple of months ago, but I rarely listen to him anymore, maybe it's not the right season now. I want to explore further though, so I'm listening to you link, sigz.
-
I looked up some Merzbow on youtube and it's pretty good. Any recommandations in terms of album? Apparently he did like 250 of those! :omg:
-
I quite enjoy Annhiloscillator and Liquid City.
-
Here's a question I can't seem to get a consensus on, because I know people who strongly hold each of these opinions;
Pat Metheny's "Zero Tolerance For Silence" album;
Some people I know claim that he made it to get out of a contract, and that it's intentionally bad as a middle finger to his old label. Other people I know consider it a great Noise album, and believe that that was his intention with it.
Any thoughts?
-
Never heard it. According to wiki, Metheny's statement is:
That rumor was started by a journalist who was seriously not listening to the album. All it would have taken was a quick phone call [to me] to find out that that wasn't the case. Besides, I would never do something like that. It isn't the way I operate, which I think has been pretty self-evident over the years. That record speaks for itself in its own musical terms. To me, it is a 2-D view of a world in which I am usually functioning in a more 3-D way. It is entirely flat music, and that was exactly what it was intended to be.
I'll give it a listen though, it sounds interesting.

Boris' Feedbacker is a great noise album, a 40minute noise track. Pretty much all of Boris' noise tracks are solid gold.

Yeah, I was just listening to the Boris/Merzbow version of that last night.

How is that version, I never listened to it. Merzbow must really add a whole different factor to it. You should check out some of Boris' other shit, their song Untitled from Smile is another heavy hitting noise track, same with Just Abondoned My-Self off Pink.
-
I got Pink a few months ago, I really like it. I don't have the original version of Feedbacker so I can't really compare the two. The version with Merzbow is quite good though, as are all the other songs they did.
-
I heard their cover of Flower Sun Rain and thought it was awesome, but I think I dig the Smile version better. I'm going to have to pick up that album at sometime though, well that and Sun Baked Snow Cave.
-
Oh man 'Blackout' by Boris hit me like a ton of bricks today.
-
Boris are so great I don't even know how to explain it. Flood is the most peaceful album ever, while Feedbacker is one of the most crazy. And yes, Blackout is a amazing song, such a great vibe to it, i don't even know how to describe it, almost doomy.

Found this album called Mechanical Sound Orchestra under the experimental clearance section at Amoeba Records today - there's a warning that reads "Due to extreme frequency and intential clipping, the sounds on the recording could damage stereo speakers if played too loudly - Please play this as loud as possible!"
I am very excite. :caffeine:

It was actually kinda disappointing. There was some interesting rhythmic stuff going on, but it was severely lacking in the 'abrasive ear bleeding noise' department.
-
I :heart noise

I also got this on clearance for 2.99: https://www.amazon.com/Spectra-Guitar-21st-Century-v/dp/B001TJI6QQ
Some of it's like avant-garde acoustic type stuff, but some of the later tracks are really awesome ambient/noise stuff, all done with guitar.
