looking to try to get into noise

Noise stuff to listen to that isn't Merzbow, Masonna, Whitehouse etc etc etc

Jason Crumer - Ottoman Black

Ramleh - A Return To Slavery

Oscillating Innards - Noisomeness Atmospherics

Keiji Haino and Yoshida Tatsuya - New Rap

Harry Pussy - In an Emergency You Can Shit on a Puerto Rican Whore

Nkondi - thesunstreaminginandthefragranceofit

Incapacitants - New Movements in CMPD

Emeralds & Aaron Dilloways split

Fushitsusha - Allegorical Misunderstanding

Yellow Swans - Bring The Neon War Home

Nervous Cop - Nervous Cop

Hijokaidan - Unlimited Edition

I can't be bothered to list anymore, but there is a world of excellent noise that isn't Merzbow, stop listening to Merzbow, if you've listened to some you've listened to enough, listen to something that isn't him.

how about let me decide what i will or won't do? remember that i'm new to noise and merzbow is good for a n00b

Check out Don Hassler's work with the Buchla and Synthi A. Maybe more "avant garde" than full on "noise", but it's still cool.

Hey hey angry pants! Merzbow is awesome, but there's so much more out there that is worth listening to, didn't want you getting into the endless cycle of listening to everything Merzbow has made.

I'm sorry. <3

While i agree there is plenty of good nosie beyond merzbow you can't write off albums like Pulse Demon or Music for Bondage performance.

but i do sympathize somewhat by your general annoyance. I get similarly annoyed when the only new ambient people recommend on watmm seems to revolve around stars of the lid, tim hecker and william basinski.

It's as if most new ambient fans haven't heard anything made before 1996 except Music for Airports which i find extremely strange

It's not annoyance really, I'm a huge Merzbow fanboy, but people really need to hear other people if they really want to know what's going down in Noisetown etc etc, plus im a little upset no one mentioned these two

I really enjoyed the new Hecker release, I can see why people dislike it though.

john wiese is really fucking great, i saw a live show a month ago with like 20 people there and his set was the best live experience ive ever had

if you'll indulge me in maybe stretching the terms of the thread, try Stockhausen's "Mikrophonie". that shit will scare the crap out of you. plus it's really well-made.

kontakte scared me even more! all of that older stuff makes modern noise seem really pleasurable. it's weird, it's a lot of similar sounds but for them it sounds like it was the end of the world and for more recent stuff we've gotten to enjoy the same sounds. or maybe it's the opposite and people are less hardcore now and can't enjoy it.

I'm loving Merzbow right now. The only stuff of his I've heard that I haven't cared much for is his more ambient work.

I haven't listened to many noise artists in depth, and it will take more than a lifetime to get familiar with Merzbow's whole repetoire. He is one prolific motherfucker.

Guilty Connector's alright.

i don't really like ambient at all but i find absolutely nothing of interest in what stars of the lid i've heard

it bores me to tears Awepittance what ambient would you recommend other than zoviet france and oval

i have brian eno's discography though i've hardly listened to it i don't know if i'll be able to like ambient

John Wiese's Soft Punk is a good experimental harsh noise album.

john wiese is like being in the middle of this 8 dimensional blender... way more fractured and sort of hyper-real than a lot of noise stuff (all the more recent stuff that i've heard anyway).

 

definitely recommend him to anyone who's into fol3 or fol4

it is the kind of stuff that i think appeals more to other people who make similar production-based music though... without that sort of grounding i guess it's harder to differentiate between something truly creative or just going through the motions.

the live act is really nice

thanks

Yeah I thought that album was gonna kick ass seeing as Don Hassler's work with the Buchla is really good and someone so supposedly reknowned as Hecker would perhaps do a better job. Turns out he didn't, it's a pretentious pile of shite and Hassler's DSM-IV is both better and longer. Hurrah for Hassler!

listening to Acid in the style of David Tudor right now again i would not be surprised if HEcker was just fucking with people. It's honestly difficult to get sounds out of a Buchla that are that uninteresting and abrasive

thanks to all for the recommendations i plan to look into a lot of them but i found out something interesting

i d/led merzbox and while i expected not to like it because of the lack of beats i was pleasantly surprised

i've just been skimming tracks since i'm about to go to bed but i really like what i'm hearing so far beats or not

so this opens up a new vista for me whereas i had never given noise a chance before really, may try ambient next

actually i just wanted to pre-inure myself to this "shit" since i fear i may end up in guantanamo bay one day lol

innovation in the field of noise: i recommend calling your cellphone from a landline, then putting said cellphone in a microwave. fire it up. whatever you hear until the transmission ends can be considered the divine noisework of god. in the case of athiesm you can just call it a dadaist revolution, which i believe is the mentality behind noise music anyways.

really digging this guy John Wiese, although i was going to buy sometning of his at amoeba today but nothing of his was under $25 . goddamn overpriced experimental music

i just picked up a 12" of his at a noise show tonight here in oakland, luckily ieafs & company was here to inform me on this john wiesse character. He's playing at the same venue february 7th. i'm pretty excited to see him play.

the 12" was not what i was expecting, a little bit on the minimal side. What are some of his better/best maximalist records?
