Your bitterness is just downright foolish!

not really, it's more like a satisfying workout.

I made my 1st ever noise track today, I'll post it in a few. It's probably shit.

Wicked! Looking forward to it

I remixed his noise music.

if you want try and make a 'power electronics' noise type sound try out a virtual recreation of Merzbow's kit, mainly an EMS synth emulator and a VST wah pedal effect.

thats the only recommendation i have for copying an already existing noise sound, otherwise it's kind of meant to be the most playful genre in the sense that there aren't any rules

famous japanese noise artist Kazumoto Endo is rumored to have been a noise music fan who happened to snap a picture of Merzbow's setup before he was about to go on for a show, he then went home and pieced together the exact same setup over the course of a few months. Reverse engineering merzbow noise music and making a whole career out of it essentially

here:

If nothing else, I can farm it for samples.

it's a good start, needs more actual noise noise though.

for me it's the kind of noise that has a lot of white or pink noise sounds in it that is very enjoyable and relaxing to listen to . i listen to it like i do with ambient music. It probably has something to do with pink noise being basically a 'white out' to your auditory senses in a similar way to the hypnosis that would be induced if you couldn't see in a blizzard

for an example of what i mean

Yeah, you're right.

i hate to be a rigid bastard about a genre so freeform, you're off to a good start, throw that layer on top of another one with some noisey washes through effects

lol thats what i'm doing

For a first attempt that was pretty good man! Hopefully you do some more

Here's a big noise collaboration I did a few years back with a bunch of friends.

Unfortunately I lost my digital copy long ago somehow, so this is a copy I got from someone else, and this one doesn't have tags or anything. Oh well.

Pro-tip: get a bunch of walkie talkies for you and your friends. Broadcast your noise music through the airwaves to each other and record. Ta Da! You've made MORE NOISE!

Subject: Thank you!

Dear Acidphakist, thank you very much for the helpful music tip. Your opinion means a lot to me!

I hope you are well. Keep in touch.

PRO-TIP: put one walkie-talkie in the microwave, then record the output of its soon-to-be-widowed partner.

Like i said before, i believe that a composition must tell a story, whether its noise, jazz, classical or whatever you can think of. I used the word "emotion" in music to describe passion and feelings and not being "romantic" or something like my friend Dan C assumed. if there is no story to tell, what do you expect to feel with sound? unless of course its an empty thing one wants to do, something just to say they did something. and musical qualities have nothing to do with it, even a person who has no idea about musical theory but has a very deep connection and contact with sound generally can achieve amazing results with his imagination. i dont know about you, but a 20 minute drone or noise without a slightest change in form tells me absolutely nothing. for me personally its like driving a straight road in the desert for an hour, with no twists and turns, without any excitement. To my friend Mesh Gear Fox, even people that have the knowledge of something like to ask, it shows their curious nature. i dont believe there is something wrong with asking, after all its all very inspiring for somebody who is interested, just read this thread and what people use to make noise, inspiration is the ultimate purpose.

Huh? Did I say something about romantic music in this thread? I don't think I did... that's crazy! I can have a go though haha!

I don't like to tell stories with my music, or think of anything beyond how I want it to sound, I don't care about emotions, stories, feelings, my personal stuff when I make my stuff and that's what works for me, if it works for you the other way go for it man!

No fights, just love.

all is fine man :) there nothing to fight about. i guess everybody has their own philosophy and approach to sound
