Let's talk about noise.

Ok..

Well.. I have an unhealthy obsession with Eric Wood's Bastard Noise project.

Hoorah!

Throbbing Gristle are playing in April. Not that they're noise artists or anything, but I've yet to see them live. I hear they're shit, and a scratch on the 1980 phase.

Old Venetian Snares is awesome.

1980 was already too late for Gristle

He's wicked, and fucking loud live. Releases too much shite, though.

lol that clip from Japan is so funny. the locals were so confused and annoyed.

staas · Post by **staas** » Sun Mar 01, 2009 12:15 pm

for some reason,i find it really relaxing to listen to merzbow quietly

i was listening to ghoul detail awhile ago, kinda noise/ambient

if you like guitar noise the sonic youth album called "silver session for jason knuth" and there was a thurston moore noise album last year called sensitive/lethal that was ok, lee ranaldo also did a one side 12" with a sick etching on the other side http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=116609

The only artist worth mentioning these days is Prurient. Everything else pales in my opinion.

You can't beat a bit of classic Sutcliffe Jugend or Hijokaidan though.

I had the pleasure of seeing Hijokaidan and Sun City Girls back to back a few years ago. Best gig I've ever been to.

Venetian Snares is not a noise producer by the way. His breakcore tunes have elements of noise in them, and the tracks he made with DJ Speedranch are not noise either. Not that it really matters...I'm just being pedantic

Just listened to the Tauromachine album by Merzbow after not hearing it for a while.

Liberating!

having a big Merzbow binge at the moment

Antimonument
Cycle
Oersted
Electric Dress

Managed to get a hold of the Merzbox. Gotta say, I'm not really into his old analogue-instrumental stuff.

When did Merzbow first start producing, though? Alot of shit sounds old as hell on this thing.

chutnut · Post by **chutnut** » Fri Mar 20, 2009 4:17 pm

early 80s i think. i downloaded the merzbox a while ago but never got round to listening to most of it in the end

Dead Rats · Post by **Dead Rats** » Fri Mar 20, 2009 4:47 pm

This thing sells for a fucking extortionate amount, also. So glad I didn't do the mother of all fanboy things and shell out the full £500 for it way back when.

I'm a merzbow fan tbh. His latest releases are nice with the drums in it.

I'm happy I saw him once live 2 years ago @ the Dour festival in Belgium.

Merzbow.
