Some years ago I produced this tape using edited raw data from 90s point-and-click computer games, the titles are all broken-down HTML code and artwork was plundered from the sensory overload of subculture.com

Awenydd - Untitled K7 (August 2025, Not On Label)
Initially keyed as a "weird PE" project Awenydd has continued growth into something new on every release, the idea I'm given now is that of an auteur crafting each tape with a different approach yet fitting into the same canon and aesthetic established since the start. Side A starts in komische territory before ramping up into a spiritual aggression, this is augmented by a more prominent use of vocals and percussive elements as the tape trudges forward.

Ineffable Slime - Deep And Desperate Fictions CD (2025, Virtues)
There is not anything quite like Ineffable in the contemporary landscape, a high-fidelity barrage of noise that echoes Worth's brightest moments yet proudly incorporates his esoteric influences as part of the sound instead of merely style. Again it's a high-fidelity effort, but broken through immense digital clipping and samples that are ten times louder than anything else in the mix. In lesser hands this would strike as amateur, but the artist wisely uses these idiosyncrasies to craft a hallucinatory mass.

Outdoor Horse Shrine / Euronet K7 (2026, Absurd Exposition)
OHS delivering another bout of well-tuned gnashing. Euronet is a name I've been hearing praised for a while but haven't been able to acquire any releases until now, it's common to be underwhelmed in such a case but their track here I greatly enjoyed. Harsh that complements OHS well but with distinct detours into more unrecognizable, strange sound sources. I'd hope to see a more widely-available release from this project soon, a CD would be an instant buy.

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Genocide Organ sample sour...
Last post by re:evolution - January 15, 2026, 11:03:53 PM
This is an older topic, but I recently went searching for the Genocide Organ track which sampled A Disney WWII propaganda cartoon.

After a bit of searching, I identified the track as GOVC from the :REMEMBER: set. Refer to the intro: :REMEMBER: - GOVC

This is the cartoon it was lifted from – refer to timestamp 6:40:



I also previously collated the following list for an article I wrote, so am documenting it below. Some samples have already been identified above.

Leichenlinie (1989), 1...2... Tot. This debut album contains the first of many threads which appear to engender a strong anti-American stance. Here a sample of a taunting Viet Cong soldier is used ("Hey G.I.! Fuck you!") from Apocalypse Now (1979).

Leichenlinie, Face of Horror. A lengthy monologue from Apocalypse Now involving the main protagonist Colonel Kurtz, which highlights his wartime recollections and personal philosophy.

Mind Control (1995), Hail America. A speech sample of President John F Kennedy, in which he forcefully declares the United States' position of regional dominance and the intent to oppose any acts of aggression or subversion.

Remember (1997), Slap in your Face. An audio sample reading a passage from Herman Melville's Moby Dick, where the (out of context) quote references personal spirit and dedication to a singular conquest or ideal.

The Truth Will Make You Free (1999), Harmony. A monologue is sampled from the 1984 film adaptation of George Orwell's classic novel Nineteen Eighty-Four: "This is our land: a land of peace, and of plenty; a land of harmony and hope. This is our land. These are our people: the workers, the strivers, the builders. These are our people: the builders of our world, struggling, fighting, bleeding, dying: on the streets of our cities, and on the far-flung battlefields, fighting against the mutilation of our hopes and dreams. Who are they?" This sample is then juxtaposed with a sample of Peter Sellers in Dr. Strangelove (1964). The shouted sample of "Mein Führer - I can walk!" is repeated throughout. Is black humour the intent, or perhaps the intentional baiting of critics of the group?

The Truth Will Make You Free, Turn you into Gas. Another monologue sampled from the film adaptation of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four states: "We do destroy the heretic because he resists us. As long as he resists us we will never destroy him. We will make him one of ourselves before we kill him. We will make his brain perfect, before we blow it out. Then when there is nothing left, we shall lift you clean out of history. We shall turn you into gas and pour you into the stratosphere. Nothing will remain. Not a name in a register. Not a memory."

DVD Live in Japan 2003/2007 (2009), A Peculiar Crusade. Includes a sample from a 1945 instructional film for US soldiers, Your Job in Germany, which states: "Every German is a potential source of trouble. Therefore there must be no fraternisation with any of the German people. 'Fraternisation' means making friends. The German people are not our friends". For Genocide Organ's outwardly apparently anti-American stance, this sample functions to clearly demonstrate militaristic propaganda and societal control from an Allied standpoint.

LP Live in Japan 2003/2007 (2009), Industrial Strife and Hail America. A sample is used from a Pentagon ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on September 12, 2002, where (former) Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld states: "They were dedicated to their cause of freedom. Young and old, their lives and their deaths, gave birth to a new pride and patriotism that has rekindled the flame of freedom across this land. They will be remembered. We will not forget".

-------------

Lastly, someone who I can't remember had worked out that the song 'Its Over' from Under-Kontrakt reuses a Roy Orbison lyric where the line "your baby doesn't love you anymore" is changed to "your country doesn't want you anymore".

There are many more juicy samples to be identified - so add there here if not already included.

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Noise about the internet?
Last post by k.p.g - January 15, 2026, 10:40:08 PM
It's an interesting topic to ponder on.  I haven't much time to comment deeper for now, but will say that I have seen some artists who take the experiences of being online and incorporate it to noise in a way that is tasteful to tradition.

Deep Gray is a really good example of this.  Untitled CDr that he self-released apparently is largely composed of quick-scrolling through his Tik-Tok feed and sending it into a setup.  It's a pretty neat way to take an experience that many already describe as "an assault to the senses" and then assault it either further.  How can we enjoy Tik Tok scrolling when it's run through various pedals, but not when it's raw and unexposed to those conditions?

Fricker is another artist who has really done some effective work with perverting the internet in his own way.  I won't divulge much on what I know of the artist and his viewing habits, but it seems like much of his sound source can be derived from many restless nights of being plugged into the internet and "doom scrolling" until you lose track of time.  Then, you run them into the Fricker machine and it is nothing close to its internet origins.  Even on a visual standpoint, there are a lot of clearly digital image packs being used, but they are from such an older time in the internet's history that they come off as very archaic and out of place on any other front of noise, whether it be analogue or the modern digital. 

Just two interesting points of reference that I have seen interact with the internet in a really intriguing manner.

I find these two to be pretty interesting contrasts
