let's talk specific flavors of noise.

 

Can somebody recommend similar noise albums to the late 90s era of power electronics noise similar to Merzbow's Pulse Demon or pretty much anything from Pain Jerk's catalog from the same time? John Wiese and Painjerk did a collaboration album a few years ago that basically just sounds like a really cleaned up fleshed out Painjerk album.

With all the noise out there it's difficult to sift through it all to find more stuff with this specific sound. Sharp bursts of white-noise through wah peddles, lots of distorted loops, high pitched synth twiddling on top and just in your face assault the entire time. I find this type of noise music very therapeutic, it relaxes me.

Jason Crumer does some interesting things on Ottoman Black:

thanks! these two really do it for me, something about the extreme noise mixed with little looping noisy segments is what I was looking for, perfect! I know merzbow is overplayed as fuck and he's released way too much material (Some of it piss poor) i think there was something really special going on with his mid to late 90s output. It sounded a lot like these two examples with a little more nuance and textural stuff, probably because of the EMS synth he uses

Glad you like them ;)

 

Somewhat in the same vein you have

RIght now i'm listening to some Howard Stelzer at work. Not PE or harsh noise, but more experimental, loops, etc... def. worth checking out as his bandcamp page has tons of stuff up: http://howardstelzer.com/

I've been listening to a buttload of Aube lately. The dude has made a buttload: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Aube

 

Dude started out as harsh, turned more industrial-y/drone-y/ambient-y later

 

 

Every album he did is made from one single sound source. Like water, metal, oscillators, fire, torn paper, blood stream, ice, heart beat, etc...

 

 

He's also very rhythmic, something gh0sty was looking for

brain wave-electroencephalogram:

 

 

 

metal chain:

 

 

 

bells:

 

 

 

magnetic resonance spectroscopy:

 

 

 

metal:

 

 

 

water:

Seems I already maxed out the vids I can put in a single post. The dude did made a buttload tho.

Aube's great. One of my favorite releases of his is an album comprised of manipulated feedback, Variable Ambit. It starts off completely earsplitting and piercing but branches off into moments of real beauty. Pretty unique album, haven't heard anything quite like it.

 

I played a noise set last month opening for some metal bands. It was cool getting feedback from people who weren't already into noise music. They'd reference Ministry, or NIN, or the more atmospheric sections of some metal band they were into when trying to relate what I was doing with the music they're familiar with.

 

Here's the set for anyone interested:

just did my first set using the concept of physically modeled feedback noise. I didn't use any post processing distortion for any of these, just purely synths being ran through a bit of outboard reverb.

let me know if you guys think i should do more of this, originally i was aiming to make it sound more musical sort of like a virtual computer generated Metal machine music but it ended up being like this instead

more spam, but still free spam. I went back into some of my live recordings from this year and thought you guys might enjoy this one. It's 2 rack sized doepfer modular + frostwave CV sequencer + eventide eclipse. I'm using the sequencer to send ghetto voltage values to the foot pedal input of the eventide (as well as the modular) for those quick fx changes that briefly appear.

not really straight noise but it gets into some very hardcore glitched out modular territory in the 2nd half.

Sweet.

 

Not listened to it yet but I've now d/loaded both to make an LP length playlist.

All Jaakko Vanhala (Grunt) releases are now available for free on Bandcamp. Highly recommend his two self-titled albums. He's also released an interesting new project clusterfuck of a project called Secret Apex where concrete meet field recordings and maximal Niblock/Schmickler style drones.

Can I spam a noise release of my own in here? Is that ok? I have a noise project called Cuntag; I've probably recorded about 20 albums under the alias but this is the first one to go online. It's an album from 2010 that I wrote about how my last girlfriend cheated on me with Rob Swire from Pendulum.

er, enjoy?

 

Track 3 was made on a real, actual EMS Synthi AKS, if I remember correctly (I was probably drunk, but it sounds like it was cut from one of those sessions).

 

There's also another one called 'Porn and Noise' which is somewhat of a cult classic, in that all 10 or so people who bothered to listen to it actually loved it. It's literally porn audio with noise soundtracks. I might upload that soon.

" By noise, I mean power electronics, harsh noise, industrial (the more experimental non-EBM variety) "

 

:cerious:

Dood titles for your thread. 9 pages later....

Sorry, I understand, chemical farrago, you may be nit picky and angry I am loose as goose and picky.

Whatever. But, same goes for music. Music = mood. Chemical influences mood. Bear with me....

 

Noise, without...yeah...noise. Wait, is it? Vogel you bastard.

I didn't understand any of that, but Geoff Barrow is pretty cool, and those videos would probably serve better in that thread you started about favorite songs.
