thank you for your comments and glad to see you appreciate. For the moment i just took pictures from internet but i'll also take pictures from my real life.

i don't weld stuff just for this pictures... i do a lot of things ( furnitures, old car restoration, and ornamental ), i just love dirty industrial environment.

with music, others inspiration are industrial landscapes, shinya tsukamoto's movies and other stuff.

when i have an idea i just put stuff together, trying to get it close as my mind.

hope the final quality will improve with my skill in my software.

Best regards

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: CRAWL UNIT / JOE COLLEY

Last post by k.p.g - February 05, 2026, 07:11:04 PM

I almost wanted to put this into the PLAYLIST thread, but it feels more suitable here now.  I have spent this week exploring some select Crawl Unit releases I have been meaning to get around to; Stop Listening, VS. Silence and Chime Vortex.  I think VL.One will follow next.  I find myself thinking about Colley's work, who his contemporaries are, as well as the people who have expressed obvious influence from them.  Then I think, "what separates Crawl Unit from these peers... hell, what separates Crawl Unit from the works of Joe Colley?"

I think there is a coldness to Colley's work as Crawl Unit that separates it from the rest of the pack.  You have some commonplace gear at play; MS-20, rack delays, field recordings, etc., but none of them really invoke any sort of deep emotion or make an attempt to draw your attention in overtly.  It feels as if his work is a part of the natural world itself (despite coming across industrial in sound/tone).  Like I sit in traffic with Stop Listening on, and it just blends in with the hum of car engines and factory sounds surrounding me.  There's a stillness and indifference in the work that I just can't find in other works of a similar ilk.  As I alluded to, it's even different from Joe's work under his government name, which I feel has more of an intent to grab the listener's attention.  Same with others who draw influence from this work, such as Scant or Work/Death.  While those artists are pretty drone heavy, movement occurs in a way that feels like it wants to wrap the listener in, take them on a journey.  Crawl Unit just comes across to me as having no interest in doing that.  It's just the kind of stuff that you turn on, and it subtlety infects your entire world.
It's truly fascinating stuff, and I just can't get it out of my head recently.  Hope this makes some lick of sense.

Not my method of working when i make some visual art, but i can say there's effort and focus on them.
Good job

Your images are cool, but I think the effort of creating unique handmade welded object gets wasted a bit when they're incorporated into a collage like that. I'd be much more interested in the objects themselves, I think you should try to just photograph them to show off your welding talents. Just my opinion!

very surreal collage stuff, makes me wonder how your metalwork incorporates into it. of course i can't use the websites for more than 30 seconds before it wants my information, but its still interesting. do you take pictures of some stuff around your work and then use that as the main visual? it's certainly not what i was expecting.

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Noise about the internet?

Last post by Balor/SS1535 - February 05, 2026, 05:01:20 AM

how the origination of power electronics relates to the dissemination of "shock media" like gore videos.  I think there are many potential resonances to be explored, or, more specifically, interpreted out of already existing noise music.

This has always been kind of interesting to me, as someone in my 30's, I grew up with the early internet when these shock sites like rotten and ogrish were pretty popular. The transgressive aspect is kind of lost when its always been so readily available throughout your whole life, compared to the 70s and 80s when you had to actually seek out underground porno tapes or medical journals or whatever to find this stuff. I can definitely still appreciate the pre-2000s noise that made use of this stuff when it took more effort to find, but for more modern projects it can just start to feel goofy and antiquated with how self-serious it is (with some exceptions when there's a really clear motivation or concept behind it).

I am kind of surprised there isn't more noise that takes a more humorous approach though, like Ivan Rex mentioned. Something like Smell & Quim with a focus on internet shock media. The original popularity of a lot of shock sites was for pranks anyways, sending goatse or tubgirl to someone disguised with a link shortener to get them to click on it was always fun.

These things also seem to be treated very differently now because the oversaturation of subcultural things through the Internet.  I think it was not too long ago that I saw Faces of Death receiving a "deluxe" reissue of some kind.  Obviously this is, in part, a reaction against the ephemerality of the Internet through object fetishism, but there is also this weird dimension of wanting to return to the "purer" time of when shock media actually worked.
