GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Inspired to create noise b...

Last post by Minus1 - Today at 12:49:59 AM

Anyway, I don't know if this is relevant to this thread or not, but for me, Noise is the final link in a long chain:

Pop music - not so poppy music - stranger pop music - jazz - stoner doom - classical - modern composition - experimental - Noise.

There were many intersections in the Venn diagram along the way.

I always wanted more! There was always something beyond what I was hearing that was pulling me towards it. What was the next step?

So, my main interests by decade might have been:

60s - Beatles.
70s - ELO.
80s - Sonic Youth.
90s - John Coltrane.
00s - John Cage.
10s - Merzbow.
20s - Vomir - maybe? Knurl?

You get the point. (Yes, I'm fucking old.)

But I think, at 14 I became a Noisehead without really knowing it: A train trestle - longass freight trains occasionally - one day in 1976 I got the courage to go under the trestle where it begins - a bank - sit 3ft below - the train sounded the horn from far away - the anticipation was unbearable - when it finally arrived it was beyond breathtaking / frightening / loud - for a few minutes! What a thrill! I did this many, many times. To this day it's one of the great thrills of my life. (Insert your joke about my life right here.) 😂

"You're The Only Woman" by Ambrosia and "Reminiscing" by Little River Band are one of my inspirations in creating noise.

I get it! (I think?) 😂

(Although, I hate to admit this, but I like me some schmaltz, and Reminiscing is fucking good! Ok?)

Edit: I went to an LRB concert in 1982. 😂

Is it true that the cherry point used spice girls tapes (or Britney spears) as sound source?
I don't remember where or when i heard this, but now I'm curious

Last post by Balor/SS1535 - February 09, 2026, 06:27:47 PM

Another thing that comes to mind while thinking of this topic was from this one man black metal band documentary series I had a saw awhile back and Xasthur was one of the bands featured. He had talked about listening to a variety of different types of music artists and he had said something like black metal doesn't inspire black metal or to create black metal and I always found that interesting and somewhat relatable in the sense that one can be inspired to create one form of music, by being inspired by one completely different.

I think this is an important point, and Malefic is certainly right.  So much of the Bandcamp/Reddit/online-only noise is boring because they clearly listen solely to their "inspirations," whatever they might be, which results only in a shallower, more redundant copy.  If you want your noise to contribute something new to the genre, then you have to add something new to your noise at the level of inspiration/composition.

(And I don't necessarily mean totally new either, just something that interrupts the repetition of the same.)

I think there's a pretty decent amount of projects that use bands or more "composed" music as a part of their sound.  Whether it's the plunderphonic stylings of John Oswald, The Rita utilizing old Blasphemy tapes for noise wall, or just artists today like Max Julian Eastman slowing down some old lounge muzak on his Satatuhatta release; this is a practice that has existed long before and long after Dead Body Love utilizing grindcore in his material.
