Part of a lot of the draw for both reading and working for Special Interests is the chance to review both luminaries and up-and-comers in the genres of noise, industrial and ambient music. However, an important part of this magazine is servitude to the "special interests" of the scene we write for.
Therefore, on behalf of those eager and willing to contribute to this magazine, suggest some interviews we'd like to see.
moderation EDIT jan 13: Some messages removed here, so don't wonder if discussion "bounces" little bit. Mikko
Intent is to kind of start from clean table. Not to worry who I may or may not have interviewed in my past magazine, which all came several years ago.
If someone would do new interview with Masami, I would not refuse. There was interview in Freak Animal zine, but many years ago. I feel that Merzbow gets plenty of publicity in other media, while many others don't.
I don't remember coming accross with his (new) interviews in a long time (not that I would have searched for one - any pointers?). Certainly he's referred often in the more mainstream press/literature but in a way he seems a bit of a persona non grata within the contemporary noisespehere. Perhaps should take the ball and try to chat with him in next march...
If interview gets done, I'm happy to publish it.
Don't forget to stress him about what is this thing about dozens and dozens of birds in cd covers. Soon Japanese noise is stereotypically known from birds instead of bondage.
I could possibly try to write an interview with Tesco, especially since i'm doing the Tesco reviews at the Segerhuva forum. There was one in an old issue of that Ajna-related zine, right?
Yeah, if you don't have it either Tommy or I can get you a copy of that interview. Klaus isn't the easiest guy to interview though...
When I talked about the possible value of documenting also the "uglier" side of our culture (or "scene" if you can stomach that terrible word), I was not proposing something as utterly mundane as a ripoff list. In the spirit of talking in a small group of invited people, such as this forum is right now, I merely wanted juggle some ideas. The idea that there is value in the confrontational does not have to be calling out names, or retelling details of feuds. There are other paths, of course. How about a review of the CALIFORNIA box set written by Tim Oliveira? I would read that with great interest. Not sure how skilled a critic Tim is, but given the history surrounding the release it shouldn't matter much.
I know fully well that this will not happen, naturally. And S.I. will be a better magazine in the hands of an editor who follows his own vision. But, this seemed like a good place to bounce some ideas that aren't usually discussed at all (in public).
En vacker dag får du smaka finnyxan, tjyvgubbe!
I think it's always better when/if artists can be interviewed in their own language. For example, David Hopkins' interviews with C.C.C.C., Masonna et al in the (semi-)early issues of Bananafish are actually worth reading compared to almost any of the interviews with these artists done entirely in English.
I have always wanted to read interesting interview with Peter SOTOS. I belief Mikko could do that. Besides I think that CONTAGIOUS ORGASM wasn't interviewed too many times. Maybe DOMINATOR (if members are still alive) and Darren Wyngarde guy from COSMONAUTS HAIL SATAN, EEYOW KAROOM etc. And maybe less known projects from Russia, Poland, Czech Republik, Hungary, Romania?
Yes, I think BU has gotten noticed in about every format what band of this style can be noticed? Couple webzine interviews and for example Misanthropy #2 zine. Well, it isn't that much, but in scene this small, it's like "everywhere", haha.
I think people like SOTOS could be interesting, BUT I also think that people like sotos, bennett, akita, hiroshige, mundy, moynihan, and so on are the kind of "foundations", what are covered so many times. I think I have talked about it in past, but I find it very strange, that when for example PE/industrial noise people talk about art or literature, they often can come up with just sotos, t.brown, miquel angel, stu mead, etc etc. Like hand-outs of past. Mandatory things, that one needs to check out. And in a way, I do agree, but as genre, to only look back and only "bow down" in front of old masters and old influences seems foolish. I do like for example T.Brown, but there are dozens and dozens more interesting guys on the field. I do like Sotos, but simply sticking on works of sotos, gillis, talk about the short period of time when Akita did bondage related works etc etc. seems like... why? There are endless amount of material out there. If one could offer something exceptional, some kind of new angle to interview or write article about the legends of genre, it would be nice, but do we need for example another article of John Duncan fucking corpse? I know I would buy and read it with pleasure, and I do find it little disturbing to ask myself why? Why again these guys, and why not someone else?
It often looks as some of things merely became part of genre mythology, what is like part of the sermon you go through over and over again. You can't simply talk about some recent incident. Some guy doing noise while pulling out dead cat from formaldehyde, causing extreme outrage in some noise gig in US. Was it 2 years ago? Who was it? Was it just retarded shit or was it more valid performance arts or intelligent move? I don't know. There's nobody talking about it. People just want to re-read of Nitch, Duncan, perhaps nasty old Hijokaidan shows, True Romance sick performances, or perhaps Factrix mechanical corpse robot?
I think one point of magazine could/should be to not keep on dragging exclusively on same artists and follow the blue-print of "noise interests" established in past, but give space for new views, new angles, new artists, sound and visual.
This not meaning that past should be rejected. And that old artists and aesthetic should be forgotten and move on to some totally unrelated hipster indie goof, but I'm confident there are more cults, killers, pornographers, artists, political groups, and so on, of interests, that the "big boys" (haha) introduced us. I believe there are bands, artists, sounds, which are faithful for unspoiled motivations, worth to look at. Even if they always remained in shadow of bigger ones. I believe currently active generations have special interests and sources and even finances to find them.
That's why I think for example "essentials" is interesting feature, when we can see quite large perspective of musical interest. I'm surprised that NOBODY till today have mentioned for example The New Blockaders. Has anyone mentioned Ramleh? I don't recall so. Has there been any releases of Broken Flag even? I did in my listing, which is not published. It was only example sent to other people about format how writing should be contributed. Couple people do mention the mandatory things like NON, Whitehouse, Incapacitants, Merzbow. But most of all, it is strangely wide perspective what makes it interesting. It shows that there are very influential releases & artists that interest and motivate people.
I have been reading this advance version of A.L.A.P. Broken Flag article and it is such a massive piece (I'm talking of one article bigger than issue of Special Interest as a whole). With font size 10, I think it fills 60-80 A4 pages? It simply is something that after that, no more is needed to write about BF. All things are dealt with basically. With some other artists, I have the same feeling. All that can be said, has been said.
Due editorial reasons, I will erase my public comments of potential interview candidates, but I have more interest to cover for example IRON FIST OF THE SUN, SEKTOR 304, ANENZEPHALIA, EX.ORDER/INADE, the swedish "tape noise" scene, Finnish rising new blood, Japanese rising unknown bands (Linekraft, Iconoklast, Noiseuse, Molester, Lust Vessel crew,...), coverage of Japanese lost tapes or records (Niko, Building of Gel, Colloid, Grim, Love & Sincerity, etc..) and I could believe that MAYBE, just maybe, there would be few hundred people who would prefer to read about these, instead of simply about the utmost aknowledged mythical legends what are now covered also by "music press" and "journalist" who wouldn't waste another minute to actually listen to noise what has no publicity merits & "accepted" historical merit. But anyone who actually listens to noise, knows that there are so many jewels hidden there. Stuff like mentioned elsewhere in this topic. Do we need to read more of Masonna from some specialist magazine, if we can read of DMDN? Which would be preferred, Moynihan talking about Coup De Grace or perhaps... hmm.. exposing other old projects White Hand? Victor/im? Boy Dirt Car? and so on...
I am thinking of bringing "industrial classics" section to magazine. For each issue to present 1 or 2 mandatory "classics" or the forgotten jewels. You know, something like F:A.R. first LP in indept look? Or intoduce some old release what new generations probably never get to read about. Authors to do this, can volunteer. If there is something you simply worship so passionately year after year and nobody seems to share this obsession. And nobody ever know the project you talk about. It can be aired out... hah.

Another interesting UK project, SOFT OPTION KILLING. Hasn't released much (I aim to change that), keeps a very low profile and is all the more interesting as a person for it. Unlike the hordes of myspace whores crying me me me accompanied by one project blander than the next 24/7.
agreed about SOK, I remember doing some shows with him in the UK and his sets were well developed and interesting - isnt Hospital supposed to put out an LP by him?
I dont know if its suitable for SI but how about Clang Quartet, his approach and outlook is certainly different from everyone else
and while I'm at it, how about an interview with WRECK & DROOL from Israel, I've been fascinated by those guys ever since I 1st read their name, I think one of the guys lost his leg in a bombing (dont quote me on that, I could be wrong)

a nice long detailed Club Moral feature....

a nice long detailed Club Moral feature....
I was working on something like that a few years ago. My intention was to review/comment on all the items sold through Club Moral's STOCKLIST (SKL), including both Club Moral's own releases as well as soime distributed titles. But being a father of two left no time to go through with this project. I think I had in my possession around 2/3s of the complete SKL, and was actively trying to find the remaining items. Also, around the same time we were in touch with DDV regarding a possible retrospective CM release on Segerhuva, and he was completely uninterested, and quite arrogant. Maybe that made me lose some interest also. Still, I think the SKL represents a very interesting and highly creative part of the industrial history -- there are some absolute all-time classics in the list. For a magazine feature, a rundown of the SKL would make for great reading methinks.
As all (well, nearly all) of this is being made available (in a far inferior format, naturally) through Club Moral's blog, so basically it should be available to anyone who is interested in checking it out for themselves, so maybe a magazine feature would feel a bit... superfluous? But I definitely would like to see more written on the activities of DDV & AMVK, no shit.
i know....but maybe more 'stories', not just dry info....more focus on Club Moral venue/place & who passed by & stayed here in Antwerp......
does he's blog also feature the Force Mental zines?
had a good laugh with the WB spam about the White Power comp...."remove it, or i'll sew you"
another tip : Les Nouvelles Propagandes?
Force Mental is not included. Force Mental online seems just very.. very wrong. And yeah, there's another project for someone to work on...
I'm thinking in depth CM feature would be a project more suited for ALAP.
A person whose music I can't really comment on but without doubt a very interesting character and a truly free spirit is RUBBISH. I've had my disagreements with him in the past but I've learnt not only to respect but also admire him. I'd be interested in finding out more about him and to read his take on things.
Odal.

I don't know how shitty idea is the "public development", but basically that's what happened for some of the ideas I have had. Like starting topic such a "swedish supremacy", "new japanese industrial/noise" and such on noisefanatics, which I later started to develop further into possible article/feature in magazine. Not happened yet, but will. Same was with some of reviews in SI#1. They existed online as raw versions, which were updated to print worthy. Some users why wonder why some passages sounds as if they have read it before, but I wonder if it de-values any of the article.
Something like currently ongoing label overviews could be good as printed document. One old label per issue, or such. If people seem to get glimpse of how it will be on forum first, maybe it will be still worthy of inclusion, with additional artwork, possibly label boss comments on (each) releases, perhaps artists comments on their releases and so on. Sometimes just "public" brainstorming might help to kickstart projects and get honestly interested people involved.
As I mentioned before, I read the upcoming Broken flag article for ALAP (advantage of being contributor there as well). It's fucking massive. Each release of label is dealt with info of project, comment of publisher, comment of artist, and related stories from their perspective. Same thing about G.R.O.S.S., but with additional "consumer/journalist" reviews of material shouldn't be impossible. And in my opinion, whatever is done online now, wouldn't lower value of historical document on printed paper.
If Club Moral overview needs assistance from various contributors and too much to handle for one guy, as one would imagine proper reviews of dozens and dozens of items... I'm sure there are some solutions.

There are some stories from Harri/BOTC in Shock Tilt but they are all in Swedish. I hope when the ever delayed Shock Tilt book finally gets published the Harri interview will be translated into English.
I was toying with the idea of doing a complete Force Mental coffetable book but the sheer scope of all the artist (some pretty famous dead people also) with rights claims and on top of that a grumpy DDV just made me decided that it was somebody else headache. Still I would be an amazing book and I still go back to Force Mental for inspiration 25 years later.

...focusing on philosophical ideas/ideals, artistic approach (not nuts n bolts yawn induction), concepts, fetishes, prejudices, criticism, opinions, rants - especially rants! - and so forth.
This may seem an odd prescription given my tendency to disparage didactic evidence of the above in the work itself... but that merely serves to acknowledge a more basic tendency to lose myself in the pure sonic moment, where all of these things are rendered meaningless. But. The rest of the time, when I'm less wrapped up in the good vibrations feeding into my auditory passages - now, for instance - I really do like to supplement my auricular urges with a good, hard, brain-picking.

I agree #1 has plenty of artists being "alike". Not that they would sound the same, but they came from specific corner of scene. I won't yet reveal contents of #2, but I would say it has more variation. Going forward to direction intended. From old to new, from loud pe to guitar drone, to experimental sound. From dark to naturally "warm" and also humoristic.
#1 was put together in... was it about 2 months. It meant that I relied on the guys I know that have recent releases out, worth of support and most of all: get things done. For such a short time, I'm very happy how it came out.
I don't worry about crossover of ALAP / SI. I don't know how often ALAP is going to be published, but lets say if some artists is featured in SI#2, #3 or #4, when ALAP #2,3 or 4 comes out, it might be already years from now. Artists featured twice during couple years... I would guess would be just positive.
I really would like in-depth articles about R&D Group and Produktion. If it is in SI or ALAP doesn't matter.
Something that I feel is lacking in a lot of interviews in general is follow-up questions. Think about it.

yeah. all the short ones were made to be on "one formula" basically. Thought to include bunch of standard questions for short interviews, but seems like will be none of those for next issue.
From long ones, I wasn't personally responsible of more than... one in #1? But yes, I agree and as for my own things and some contributions for #2, follow up questions are there.
I also think that boils down to the differance of making interviews in person and over the mail. I remember interviewing In Slaughter Natives years ago. It became a rather fun conversation over a couple of hours (hell to transcribe) that went from good to drunken rambling. Some people where upset with the casual reveling tone but Jouni said it was the best interview he ever given. We would never had gotten the same result over mail.
Stories covering local scenes/whatever are often interesting, if there are any... on groups of musicians, labels and organizers in, say, Bulgaria? Turkey? South East Asia? Not the common places people know about like UK, Finland, Japan, Benelux countries, Germany. If there's anything to be found in those quarters of the world worth attention.
You've check out 3xCDR set of Polish industrial/"difficult music"/experimental of past? Guy reponsible of the release is already of this forum. I think it's all up to people who want to contribute about their domestic scene. I'd welcome scene reports, current or historical views on certain periods.

SEWER ELECTION

Just a few off the top of my head.
sewer election feature I did appears on ALAP #1. Should be soon.
Topic is cleaned a bit. Pretty hastely. If you feel your important suggestion was thrown out with "personal" mails, feel free to repost suggestions. I am toying around with making zine bigger, but if we'll see 1st year with standard 52 pages issues, and see next year potentially +30% more pages?
I'll third Jason Crumer
And how about Martin Bladh? I know he's got some interesting information on his blog, especially in his letters to Dennis Nelson, but I'd be interested to hear more about his inspirations and aspirations within his various projects.
Just got #2 in the mail -- looks great! I haven't had time to read more than a small portion of the magazine, but it will stay on top of my to-read-pile.
One small suggestion though. For the interviews, it would be great to know right away who has done the interview. I know that this is listed in the contents listing on page 3, but it would be nice to have this piece of credit somewhere clearly noted, maybe at the start or end of each interview. To me, it's a vital piece of information to know who is asking the questions.
as said, that is mentioned in page 2, where credits are given. With reviews, initials indicate the author (and initials listed in beginning of review section). I thought about giving credit for interviews in beginning or end of interview, so yeah, might start from #3.
A Club Moral related article as Tommy and others have mentioned would be fantastic. To be honest I would prefer to have the article based entirely on 2nd hand perspective of individuals who interacted outside of DDV and AMVK. More intuned with artists that shared the bill, performed at or even individuals that just witnessed the related gigs. DDV has given more than enough information on his accounts of CM gigs both on the blog as well in Force Mental, interviews, etc. I think with the CM blogspot DDV has done a fine enough job of posting contact addresses of multiple individuals who at one time were associated in one way or another so the leads can start there. The problem of course is in these individuals actually taking the time to contribute when there is minimum to no gain on their part.
I'm 'GILLHAM' on the Troniks/Chondritic Sound board.

"behind the curtains" I often communicate with other magazine makers to avoid too much of overlap. I believe some of these wishes listed in the wants will be seen in other noise related magazines pretty soon.
Suggestion can be mailed, don't be annoyed if they won't be commented. It's just editorial policy to not reveal who will and who won't be considered and why. And who's already coming and who's yet to be reaches etc..
Actually, yes, I think a new interview with ULEX XANE would be a good idea. Say in about a year from now, after the CD reissues have had plenty of time to get around and for people to take them in, etc. Plus, he generally always has something interesting to say anyway.
It would be interesting to see how Ulex feels about the attention he has received/will receive as a result of them. Will he finally get the recognition he deserves? Does he even really want it though? Of course plenty of 'us' have known for years how great Streicher is - it's an ultimate cult act and will surely remain so, so does it not matter eitherway? Interest in Streicher has steadily increased ever since the 'War Without End' CD release on Cold Spring in 2002 of course, but I've definitely noticed further interest over these last few years especially too, and so the reissues have come at the perfect time really.
Again, I totally and utterly commend Mikko's insight in reissuing all the Streicher and Goldenrod stuff. Rest assured, if I ran a label and/or had the money, it certainly would've been something I would've looked into doing it myself. It's just a shame I still haven't been able to afford to buy them all yet! Haha.
To say the least, I was initially very surprised by the content of Ulex's entensive myspace profile, and was surprised he was even on anything like myspace in the first place, and it sort of ruined part of the 'mystique' Ulex/Streicher had for me at first, but then the content of course created further mystery that I couldn't help but be intrigued by, and so learning more about the different sides of the man himself via his page has been quite fascinating, and I agree that a new interview should also focus on his personal ideologies & philosophies, etc.
What did everybody think of the Streicher tribute compilation tape 'THE STORMER'? I knew it was never going to be great, but I liked the idea enough to want to hear it and I quite enjoyed it. If you haven't heard it, you can check it out here :
http://heavyelectronics.wordpress.com/2009/09/08/v-a-the-stormer/
there has been talk about Streicher interview, extensive look into whole project.
But we'll see. It might take time. I know that Ulex wrote pages & pages of text for Zero Tolerance interview, which was in normal style only used as source of taking few quotes. I'm quite sure the long replies he spent time with, shouldn't be wasted. But rather used as base on longer feature. We'll see...
whas about making a Book with the manifestos, interviews, essays ect from
xane?
That is a good idea.
Sometimes too ambitious plans go crashing down. Early enthusiasm is turned into jaded boredom where nothing gets finished. Seen it happen so many times. Of course nothing against putting both things in reality, but now when Streicher is at least in theory back in action, I think book about it is too early.
I'd certainly buy a Streicher book if one is ever published, but I totally see where Mikko is coming from. In the Degenerate interview, I think Ulex said that he didn't receive one single order for the Streicher manifestos collection booklet/book/whatever he'd put together some years ago.
I own some of the original manifestos (and some Thule Society printed stuff too). There're great. I posted this same picture over at CS/Troniks before. When I get a new scanner I've promised to scan and upload them all. Eventually!

Consumer Electronics would be interesting one. Would not mind seeing Philip in other sections of SI either. Prurient is another I would like read.
I got bunch of original P.Best collages got when he was selling original arts. Not sure if its nice enough for zine. Its more about substance than visually nice creations. I have audio interview with Prurient from 2006 or something like that. Perhaps not the most accurate today, but really classic pieces nobody has heard since they were captured. Not sure if artists wants them to be published at this point, there's probably 30min piece with nothing about music, just about various sexual obsessions.

I'd like to know more about Frank of Vinyl On Demand. There's a label that is getting a ton of praise, but have also been criticised for their release decisions. I think an interview on Frank's personal taste and his label aesthetics could be very interesting reading.
Budrus interview would probably be interesting.
Yeah - add Frank/Vinyl On Demand to my list too.
I would also like to read interviews with members of some of the older bands mentioned above. Wasn't some Missing Foundation stuff reissued quite recently?!
Ha, remember the kid punk band Old Skull from the late 80s/early 90s. They were the sons of a Missing Foundation member.

Second that and while anyone is at it I would like to read an interview with Xavier from Timeless. His thoughts behind Timeless and his ever expanding mail-order.
I've only read a handful of the replies so someone else has probably already mentioned most of these. But the interview I would like to read:
Liver Mortis/ TF/PE label (any of the units or people associated with this label would be great, i.e. Pleasure Fluids)
Taint/Mania
Xenophobic Ejaculation/Snuff/BU/Filth and Violence (once again any of these would be great)

So you suggest this magazine should employ democratic rules regarding interviewobjects? I prefer to read interviews with "journalists" that are genuinely interested in the artist/whatever they delve into.
No. I think it's interesting to see what people have requested.
When I watch the list, it seems like there are plenty of these planned in future issues. Maybe not for next, but sometime. Suggestions are welcomed as recommendations & reminders, but as bogskaggmannen mentions, it's basically choise of journalists who they feel interested in and matter of magazine policy what fits in to particular issue.
Some of these people are harder to reach than others as well I'd imagine.
Umpio, perhaps? Already covered lately in one Finnish magazine, but would fit well in SI and deserves an English interview too, I think.

I recall ALAP was planning for SCP feature?
Don't know about that... SCP is mentioned as part of another article at the website however:
Apraxia
An interview with Patrick Barber, the man behind the label. Covers the output of this legendary label who released Blowhole, Prick Decay, Small Cruel Party and others in the early 90's.
Rather than see a Interview with anyone in special, i would like to point the fact that the interviews have become less deep, away from the ones on the first issue. I praised the first number cause a lot of the interviews were not only limited to the musical circle, but rather the interpretations of the artist itself on todays phenomena (e.g. pornography, politics, social behaviour) but now in number 3 most of the interviews are standard (not the art of analog tape int., but the artists) and limited to "Who are you?, what do you do? what do you released? what will you release?", and that is kinda bad, specially for the bunch of zines out there that limits on that. I believe SI can become a real standard for the culture journalism, and a portal to really understand the artist and not just to praise what he has done.

A full band interview with IRM.
IRM !!!
UMPIO
BUDRUUS
With a new album out which is yet another step in a new direction, a new(ish) member and the absence of any weak releases ït would be interesting to find out more about IRM. What brought them to this point, where they are now and perhaps where they are heading.
Umpio as a new and unknown project would also be intersting.
Good call on Budrus. Another project that walks its own interesting path.
Niku Dorei (noisecore feature?)
Filthy Turd
IRM, definitely, for the reasons TGE mentioned - there's enough thought behind their works to make up for several pages of in-depth interviewing.
At this point, I think is also good to remind that Special Interests is always looking for contributing writers! Mainly those who are interested to do interviews! e-mail or PM me for suggestion what you'd like to contribute and I'll let you know.
Quote from: TheGreatEcstasy on December 13, 2009, 09:54:16 PM
I second ANTIchildLEAGUE and CRUMER!
Another interesting UK project, SOFT OPTION KILLING. Hasn't released much (I aim to change that), keeps a very low profile and is all the more interesting as a person for it. Unlike the hordes of myspace whores crying me me me accompanied by one project blander than the next 24/7.
Hope to see more Soft Option Killing in the future!
As for the discussion, I there should be more of the essentials and more of the art of analogue tape noise. They're my favourite sections.
if you could somehow track down STRICT, that would be amazing. curious to know more
Hijokaidan & Incapacitants
Cowards would be my first pick. Forgotten Resonance was one of the best releases I had heard last year, let alone one of the best debut albums.
PESTDEMON
Seems like the project is reaching its end, but with an upcoming LP, I figured an interview might still not be too late?
would love to see:

To be honest i´d prefer to see less interviews in the next issues and more articles on various things. To me many interviews tend to be rather similar and basically most artists don´t have that much interesting things to say. S.I. have had some really great interviews over the issues, but quite a few lacklustre ones as well... Articles would be nice, also because i really like Mikko´s writing, even if the subject sometimes maybe not interest me personally that much, there´s often a enthusiastic (fanatical?) drive in what he writes that grabs the reader. So more from the editor, please!
That said, some few that i wouldn´t mind featured
ESPLENDOR GEOMETRICO
GOVERNMENT ALPHA
HIJOKAIDAN
HOLLOW BUSH
+ maybe last issue´s coverman, Lebedev-Frontov, from what i remember his projects LINIJA MASS, STALNOJ PACT and others were really good.
the tape noise & essentials sections are brilliant as well!

Line-up of the next issue is slowly getting together. I would believe for most of part, it will be very interesting. Some pretty known artists, but perhaps revealing new things not usually found in their interviews... Still almost 2 months to go, so we'll see.
About "articles" of some sort. I have considered skip the editorials and use the space for purpose of article(s), but we'll see. There will be more articles of various kinds in future, but changes will be small and slow paced. I think next planned change is to adjust the size of zine. Simply make it perhaps 5-8mm smaller in wideness, merely due shipping reasons. (now 21 x 14,8.. in future maybe 21 x 14cm?)
I don't know if I have commented about this, but who and what will be or won't be considered for interview, won't be discussed here, just to avoid expectations or drama, but suggestions are more than welcome. Keep them coming, even if "staff" doesn't seem to react.

There has been plan to revise those - and complete properly, and put them also available in print. I don't "trust" so much the online presence, what comes to longevity of boards. Of course, if it's up to me, SI board is going nowhere. Bills will be paid etc.

I agree about the Noisecore stuff. I would like to see Funeral Mongoloids, Tortured Hooker, Ritual Hatred, Anal Barbara, Euthanizer, Generic Shit, etc. Some of these new up and comers are blowing my mind. A piece on Noisecore in general would be a good read.

Right just looked through my #3 and saw that.
There's a big article about Runzelstirn & Gurgelstock in As Loud As Possible, yep, but it's more a study by a scholar. But I'd actually like to hear more words coming straight from the man himself - I'd find it interesting to see how he himself articulates his work, rather than how someone else does.
Would make perfect sense with Raionbashi/Tochnit Aleph, the guy's pretty central to a lot of stuff that's going on and to the spread of avantgarde/noise/etc.
Oh yeah, and by the seconding this:

F&V was already done. And I think NSV was done in either SI or Troubled Sleep. Can't remember, maybe I'm wrong on that one.
It was a label profile on Filth and Violence. Check the threads about the old issues they often say which artists and labels are included
many F&V artists are featured in Pure Stench blog/website. He has topic here with links.
Mikko, I remember earlier on in this topic you said there would be a Merzbow interview in the then upcoming SI, but nothing came of that. Is that interview still planned?
I guess so, but it's up to the contributors who have this material being edited...
Gonna second or third on Hal Hutchinson. Also maybe Metal Junk abusers of sorts. In depth with Silence of Vacuum - motives/tools.
Sleep Sessions from Poland. He's putting out some really quality stuff! http://sleepsessions.org/
I don't post often on these boards, but for whoever mentioned Rudolf eb.er, there's an interview with him in the first RRReport, although it's the tip of (an old) iceberg. Likewise for my work, someone suggested an Evil Moisture interview, I'd be up for that. Also Rudolf and my project GEROTSUNAMI

I want to do an interview because I have become increasingly less motivated to post my opinion in the noise threads and I feel more comfortable doing an interview.

I dont know if its suitable for SI but how about Clang Quartet, his approach and outlook is certainly different from everyone else
and while I'm at it, how about an interview with WRECK & DROOL from Israel, I've been fascinated by those guys ever since I 1st read their name, I think one of the guys lost his leg in a bombing (dont quote me on that, I could be wrong)
BEST - Ron
Ron just reminded me;
I think we can agree that the 'foundation' --as M put it-- ov industrial-into-harsh-noise-kultur is TRANSGRESSION: taboos, sexual pathology, radikal ikonoklasm, and radikal empiricism (believing nothing not seen with your own eyes). Exploration ov art and kultur kontiguous to the subjekt ov transgression should inklude mor than just artists, I want to read interviews and artikles about hacktivists, paramilitary organizations, kriminals, perverts and forms ov art so novel they hav not het even been identified as art, such as korporate-fascist psi-ops, propaganda kampaigns (piece ov SHIT VICE MAGAZINE is now demonizing the 9-11 truth movement for example) and mass-murder performance art such as the FBI's "group show" where a krowd ov citizens were shot and many killed in Colorado as a sik sort ov meta-promotional stunt in koncert with the investors ov the Batman franchise.
SI will remain most of all "experimental sound" magazine. Themes that are involved in music can be covered. There is new feature of books starting in SI #8. Meaning various artists (in this issue Sick Seed) talks about some essential book(s), what in some ways relate/influence their work or them as person. Be it fiction, non-fiction, text or image books, whatever. Future issues will have more.
However, to cover all sorts of "transgressive" issues without direct contact to sound-art is useless. There are (or has been) plenty of magazines, websites, and forums for sex, violence, conspiracy, cults, murderers, but very little for this side of experimental sound what SI covers.
Amount of coverage of literature or/and art related to noise may increase in future, but I hope it all comes from angle of experimental sound works.

I think that interview was nothing that special. Magazine was good one, though.
Yes, it wasn't exactly an exhaustive interview with Control Resistance. I could photocopy it, though, if you're stuck. The same issue had an interview w/ Genocide Organ, which I think is the only one that was ever published (and against the wishes of the band, too). I just checked, and I reckon the mag. was from 1998 or so - the final issue.
If you could photocopy all the Issue of Descent magazine, that would be great!

it was great to hear he's active as GRIM again after the surprise concert announcement in 2010, and now an excellent new album 'Psycho Sun' is out on Steinklang (Austria). highly recommended!

mp3 of track excerpts :
http://www.steinklang.at/GRIM-medley.mp3
upcoming : WHITE HOSPITAL reissue!!! i assume it'll be both their records together ('Holocaust' 12" and 'Merry Xmas' 7" for those who don't know them). this is a big deal to me as i've always loved the records but have never been lucky enough (or rich enough in the case of 'Holocaust'!) to own the originals. it's perfectly clear they needed to be reissued properly and i'm glad to see it's finally happening. hopefully with bonus material too which the label blurb indicates, but maybe it wasn't relevant to WH?
"What Steinklang presents You here is the next REVOLUTION after the brilliant revival of Japans Ritual Industrial legend VASILISK. "Psycho Sun" is the first new album of Japans Noise-Pioneers GRIM since 27 years and their sound did not loose a single quantum of power in all those years! This is PURE GRIM, like three decades before!
In the mid 80ies GRIM released three incredible milestones of Industrial Noise music, the LP "Folk Music", as well as the 7" "Amaterasu" and the more folky 12" "Message". These three releases always were and still are the "holy grail" amongst the most wanted collectors-items of this genre.
Short history: GRIM as well as VASILISK developed out of the legendary Industrial duo WHITE HOSPITAL (aka Jun Konagaya and Tomo Kuwahara). Both artists were mainly inactive over the last 25 years and now both felt the sparkle to start again doing music, but not like most other "re-starters", who are just a pale shade from their earlier times - GRIM and VASILISK are doing the same fantastic music now, than they did in their early years!
Steinklang will soon re-release all early VASILISK and WHITE HOSPITAL material + bonus on CD and LP."
i can't wait!
also, here's footage of the GRIM gig from 2010 (Shinjuku Urga Oct 18th 2010)
Pt.1 : http://youtu.be/QJm3uMaP1u8

Pt.3 : http://youtu.be/adpOCwPLnEg
there's more GRIM footage on there, possibly of the same gig and better than the above, but i've not watched it all yet.
i said this before anyway, but now he's finally resurfaced and it could actually be a possibility - JUNTARO! i'd love to know where he's been and what, if anything, he's done of interest in the last 10 years (for all we know he could've done loads of recording), and i want to know what the future holds for him and The Gerogerigegege!

I dont know if its suitable for SI but how about Clang Quartet, his approach and outlook is certainly different from everyone else
and while I'm at it, how about an interview with WRECK & DROOL from Israel, I've been fascinated by those guys ever since I 1st read their name, I think one of the guys lost his leg in a bombing (dont quote me on that, I could be wrong)
BEST - Ron
mass-murder performance art such as the FBI's "group show" where a krowd ov citizens were shot and many killed in Colorado as a sik sort ov meta-promotional stunt in koncert with the investors ov the Batman franchise.
So you think the theater shooting was a promotional stunt literally?
I wonder how much incentive someone would need to kill themselves...
I was also wondering if the guy watched the movie first. If not I wonder if he thought about before he killed himself. I for one am not into those movies but I saw it a few months ago and it was horrible.
It would cool to see SI interview Incapacitants.
SI interview The Rita and BT.HN.
CLANG QUARTET
+DOG+ and Love Earth Music label
AHLZAGAILZEHGUH
I would really love to see an in-depth interview with Scott Reber aka Work/Death.
•Orquere
•One Dark Eye
•MSNP anything
•Litüus
•Hheva
•Elisha Morningstar/Joy De Vivre
•Caustic Qualm
•Tattered Syntax
•Lust Vessel anything
•Am Not
•Will Over Matter
•Ochu
•Dajjal
•Arv & Miljö
...phew
*Altar of Flies
He has been featured before, but considering how much this project has developed over the last couple of years, an interview would be interesting to say the least.
*Arv & Miljö
One of the more interesting projects from Sweden. Every new release differs from the previous ones yet the whole feel of the project is still coherent. And I am yet to read an interview with Matthias.
I'd personally love to see a Jeph Jerman full interview (I don't doubt it's already been suggested) and a G*Park interview as he seems to be most elusive but an extremely fascinating artist who is pushing sonic boundaries.
Also, CM Von Hausswolff. Recently found my way into his work and find him to be most impressive/intelligent

It's already done! See SI #2. Of course issue is long sold out, but I may re-post interview on blog someday soon..

100% support!

Scott is brilliant!
Alexander Lebedev-Frontov
That I'd agree, but I recall he didn't give english interviews? Language barrier? Any russians able to assist getting him interviewed?
Quote from: FreakAnimalFinland on June 16, 2015, 07:16:25 PM

IMO it'd make perfect sense to ask M.M./Zhelezobeton (who distributes old Ultra and new ALF titles) regarding this matter. Pretty sure he could at least forward the question to Mr. Lebedev-Frontov. And in case the latter agrees to the interview, it'd make even more sense to interview Nick Sudnick (Vetrophonia, ZGA etc.) as well.
Please interview CULVER...
I would really like to read Interviews with:
- Zyklon SS
- RxAxPxEx
- Cadaver Gutter
- STAB Electronics
- Hiisi Productions
- Obsessive Fundamental Realism
Maybe some of them are possible in Future Issues.
What about K2?
Is there any Contagious Orgasm interview??
Gordon Ashworth
HAL HUTCHINSON
Also Guilty Connector, I really rate Guilty Connector.

HAL HUTCHINSON
At first I'd like to recommend the interview in "Night Science V"- zine.
But I'd also like to read more interviews - I would be very much interested in some questions concerning ZYKLON SS.

HAL HUTCHINSON
There was an interview w/ him in a reasonably recent Special Interests - within the context of a larger piece about location recordings, if I remember rightly.
Nicola Vinciguerra
Chris Goudreau
Andy Ortman
Didn't search if it was already mentioned before, but I'd like to read a long interview with Martin/SHIFT/Unrest Productions.
Are there any in other zines?
I've seen several mentions before, but a Will Over Matter interview definitely would be very welcome and interesting!
sam mc Kinsley-the Rita etch,
more book reviews and posts. film as well-as correlating to core interest of the mag.
did enjoy the power electronics film article in esoteric.
THE RITA, CREMATION LILY, PHARMAKON, PUCE MARY
Quote from: W.W. on December 13, 2016, 05:53:28 PM

There's an interview in Noise Receptor, either 2 or 3, I think 3.

granted but it was a subjective article which seemed also to place films within the dynamics of pe as opposed to the aesthetics.
the lists by individuals were likewise generally eclectic and shift split pe and industrial. what made the article interesting to me was the focus on day to day cruelty rather than serial killer mythology.
equally the cruelty is not always lethal in itself, just a slow grind.
one could see salo as grand guignol or even as atypical itallo exploitation of the time given it's relatively unique status.
if, in my drunken state, I remember kid as the director of the isle and bad guy, then they can be included and their ommission just local unawareness-as were several of the quoted films for me.

Yeah dude Bad Guy and The Isle are Duk. His films are amazing.
More interviews with labels are always good.
The interview with the guy running Autarkeia was one of the best.
Lust Vessel (though I suppose it would have happened already if that crew had any interest in explaining themselves)
Everything As Dung... sickening aesthetic
Matther Bower... it boggles the mind that he remains a strictly cult figure whereas the likes of Bennett or Mundy can just shit out whatever and it attracts (relatively)wide attention
George Proctor
Darren Wyngarde
Matteo Castro
Lee Bartow
And I recently found online scans of Degenerate magazine and thought that the Prurient interview in #2 was very exhaustive. It would be nice to see a new interview with him conducted by someone deeply involved in the noise world as opposed to the more mainstream(and less imaginative when it comes to asking interesting questions) publications he's been mostly been getting interviewed by in recent years.
Pat / Self Abuse / Skin Crime / etc

I approached him about one in New Forces and he said there is one almost completed so we didn't bother. Not sure when it will be out though.

Russian scene-flagellation orgasms, for example.
I'd like to see one with Steve Bagman about his Bagman or Stark projects. I really like both and would like to see something with him in. Sorry if he has been in any earlier issues I may have missed.
This is the list of artists featured:
http://www.special-interests.net/forum/index.php?topic=2370.0
No Bagman or Stark yet.
SI#11 is basically almost done. Waits just the few ads and will be wrapped together in first weeks of September! Since the almost re-launch type of thing, SI will not be shying away from covering something that is covered already. It's getting close to decade, so even if there are NEW and uncovered artists, we may catch up with some of the early issues artists to see what changed since then...
Suggestions for interviews still very welcomed even if print issues have been embarressingly late...
Interview suggestion: Peter Edwards (Interracial Sex).
The only one I know of is in New Forces #8, and it completely changed my understanding of the project. So did, also, the press release he wrote for "Boy" on the New Forces label. His work is idiosyncratic and complex—at times contradictory—for covering well worn subject matter in Power Electronics. He is a unique voice.
One point of curiosity is how I've noticed when "lyrics" are included for a release, they seem to not match the recorded songs. While his recorded voice is extremely hard to understand, I still cannot rectify the written word with what I'm hearing on tape.

I too have always wondered what the fuck is up with his lyrics. Every time I read them I think to myself: Oh yeah, this is just supposed to be some sort of text and/or maybe poetry that accompanies the recordings more so than actually being the lyrics for the tracks. But then other times, they occasionally do match up, and in pieces, and in very non linear fashion, and it always fucks my brain up.
Boy is still his best recording that I have heard, by far. I was told that the
Aprefrica LP that was supposed to come out on a certain label that pretty much fell off would drop on a different label sometime in the near future, but who knows.
Anyways, yeah, throw Peter in the next issue!
Beau Lippincott who did Warcom.
Barbie Blutig/Institution D.O.L.
Maybe a bit obvious, but after these few brilliant re-issues i´d say Mo*Te please!
And very nice to see a return of the zine by the way, even if i personaly only like about a third of each issue, i do like that third quite a bit.

This would be cool.
I've always wanted to know more about En Lewellyn from Crepuscule/Carrion too. Had some interesting releases on Slaughter prod and Tegal Music. An interview with him explaining some of the story behind the Closing Wounds release would be great.

I found some printed final interview (SLSK download) of Beau Lippincott where he explained his position towards the end of Warcom and I got it as he seemed very thorough and explained everything in depth.
There is interview in old DEGENERATE magazine, isn't it? There should be links to PDF's of magazines on this forum.

Yes I think so. That Warcom stuff (project not label) is rare.
An in depth interview with UMPIO
Some of these suggestions has been considered for long time.
Most often these days it's thing that typing interviews seems to be huge task for most artists, hah... Issue #12 is under work and I also welcome contributors. If you feel some part of noise scene is utterly ignored, and you got ideas, I'm all ears and possibly ready to give space as well as some sort of box of stuff in compensation for contributors!
It would be cool to get an interview with Gnawed. He's been involved in a lot of good projects and has a lot of quality output himself. It would be interesting to see just how far his reach extends into (and through?) the scene.

Second this one, but maybe an article about noise from Russia / noise scene in Russia would be a great read. Stories, live show reviews, label overview. Zhelezobeton, Ufa Muzak (still active? great aesthetics), Monochrome Vision, Operator Produkzion or even defunct labels like Abgurd and Sickcore.
Maybe interview with Kryptogen Rundfunk or YAO 91404 D?
An interview with Satoshi Katayama of Nord would be great (as would be one with Hiroshi Oikawa, but since he hasn't been active since the '80s, I guess he's not contactable).
What about an interview with N. https://www.discogs.com/artist/175035-N (https://www.discogs.com/artist/175035-N) ? A great PE/death industrial solo project from Italy
Does any interview with Filthy Turd exist ? - Printed or in internet. - I would like to read one.
Also, seeing Discogs there arent recordings after 2015-2016, by none of his projects. Is he still around ? Maybe by other name ?

yes, he has new stuff under new name. Really good too. I don't know if he wants it to be revealed to be his works, as man really likes to be veiled in mystery. I hope someone would do CD release of his "vocal poetry" stuff as it is soooo demented!

MILAT, SCRUBBER or RATLICKER from Australia !!
OMM Productions
J Light - Agonal Lust, Meatpacker etc
Azoikum
Femeheim
I second OMM. Very curious about that label...
Also, an interview with Pasi would be nice. Maybe a recap or retrospective on BU... I mean Cunt Animal marks 30 years of the project so it would be interesting to hear his perspective on how the sound has changed, artwork, future plans, etc. Or, if not from his mouth, maybe a timeline or review from Mikko.
I think an interview with Room Ov Pleasure would be great and much needed to.

OMM is featured in SI#16, not as label, but as collage-art maker.
