GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: YLEINEN NOISE FIILISTELY S...

Last post by FreakAnimalFinland - Today at 11:22:46 AM

Saa nähdä! Tarkoitus olisi tilata Hospital kamppeita vuoden alkupuolella. Ongelma tyypillisesti on että julkaisut painaa paljon joten toimitus yhdysvalloista ei ole halpa. Maksaa paljon ja lopulta näyttää että kotimainen kysyntäkin ehkä näistä syistä johtuen varsin maltillinen. Useampaa varsin kovaa Hospital julkaisua on vino pino hyllyssä ja ei haittaisi jos esim. 666 volt battery noise hype konkretisoituisi myynneiksi, hehe!! Eipä siinä mitään, nyt näyttää että joitain liki 10 vuotta hyllyssä keikkuneita Hospital vinyyleitä on enää viimeiset kappaleet myynnissä.

Kirjoittanut Englanniksi aiheesta, mutta täytyy sanoa että liekö jonkinlainen A.M.K. mania iskenyt kun tekee vaan mieli pistää sen matskuja soimaan! Miehen taustat kasarin alussa White Hand nimellä tehdyssä industrial noiseassa, joka jäänyt historiaan lähinnä parin laajemmin levinneen kokoelman ansiosta. Sen jälkeen mies nappasi oman nimen kirjaimista muodostuvan AMK nimen käyttöön yhtä aikaa kun hylkäsi temaattisesti kasari alun PE/industrial estetiikan. Tavallaan. Kyllähän silläkin nimellä vielä yhteistyötä tuli Nails ov Christin kanssa ja vielä ysärillä Merzbow/Haters/AMK on aika mehuisaa kamaa jonka voisi ajatella olevan jossain määrin tribuuttina S/M Sniper hommille?

Muistelisin että mr. Kaos Kontrol mehustellut AMK ja Freak Animal toki myynyt AMK levyjä ysäriltä asti aika lailla non-stoppina. Eikä vähiten Pure/RRR disciä. Silti Suomessa ei nimeä tunnu kuulevan mainittavan kovin usein. "looppia piisaa" hengessä mennään, sillä iso osa materiaalista on tuhottujen vinyylien soundista tehtyä noisea tai kokeellista ääntä. Se tietyn mittaisen toistavan äänen voisi kuvitella tulevan tylsäksi, mutta ei toki. On siellä kenttänauhoituksia ja muutakin.

Jos pitäisi name dropata pari suositusta, niin for the fans of H.Ö.H., Heppakirjat, Haudat, jne jne että tiedetään missä liikutaan. Voi perkele miten hyvä olisikin jos näistä tulisi CD reissueta!

Jos haluaa viserryksen ja kohisevan rupu noisen sijaan jotain karvenaalitunnelmaa, niin vähemmän ruttuista säröä, enemmän outoa toistavaa värikästä bizarro world vibaa:

Paljon näiden väliltä, tai ulkopuolelta, voi zekkailla miehen bandcampistä. FA distrossa ehkä pari juttua vielä saatavilla, halvat ja helpot kovat julkaisut. Pitäisi itse hieman kartoittaa mistä saisi pari puuttuvaa levyä. CDR formaattia ei tule haalittua, mutta ainakin 1 ihan oikea CD julkaisu puuttuu!

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: PLAYLIST with COMMENTS/REV...

Last post by FreakAnimalFinland - Today at 11:02:56 AM

Building of Gel 7" has unusually rhythmic elements in it compared to tapes. I recall... Self Abuse tape had same type of things while the rest are less rhythmic.
Shii Yukihiro had another project, M.D.M.  There is one tape from 1995 on Self Abuse, but before that, I used to get some advance materials from Shii and not sure if it is same, or something else. Didn't really compare the tracks, but I have assumption that there is more BoG and more M.D.M. than publicly released.

One nice project I'd hope to hear more is COLLOID. It's from Sapporo and I recall mr. Outermost was a member for a while. I think I did include all these things into SI podcast about forgotten Japanese noise? So forgotten that I don't even remember what tracks I put there...

Heydrich, I have plenty of the CD's remaining here! Label that put it out, was mostly RAC. One of the key figures of label got murdered and after that it was sort of downhill until label went on hiatus and all the stocks was sold to other Finnish dealers. It took some time to get access to the EE label's noise CD's, but now they are available!

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Grunt !

Last post by FreakAnimalFinland - Today at 10:48:35 AM

Vocals are rehearsed. There has been old materials, old live sets, where vocals were improvised, but long time they have been written before hand, and most often rehearsed and experimented (efx, pace, intensity, volume,..) just like the noise itself. Vocals tend to be "noise" itself, not only narrative element.

Couple weeks ago was communicating with couple guys via email and we talked about "Kiveen Ikuistettu" so can post it here too:
 
Spent long time in making it happen. Even if material is not actively worked on all the time, it is sort of slowly developing project of getting the artwork ready. Getting sound components suit the purpose. Making something else than merely "regular album". I have no interest to take part in "art scene" so to say, but there are visual works that belongs into Grunt albums.

There is intent to present albums as more than just something quickly passing by things. More than something virtual experience. More like documented fragment of years of actual physical work/ideas/manual labor/etc.  Of course this was what Grunt has been doing for long time. Especially these times I feel "noise" should be more than just streaming sound or images popping up in IG feed. It would have to somehow be connected to life in more profound ways. Activities in physical world too. Of course not sure if people would see release in such way, but it is kind of "activities in physical world" and in presence of people and objects, and not something virtual.

Kiveen Ikuistettu sound was performed live in front of audience, all visual material something I had to go to places, travel or search for locations. Actual photos, not manipulations. Or when doing acrylic paint prints of the photos, it was all physical manual labor involving all the imperfections and physicalities, such as unedited live shows crafted in front of audience are. Lyrics/themes/locations have elements that connect to themes. As a listener, can't say what they feel about it. I am fine if it is experienced just as a decent noise blast, but for me it is something that is present as more than just "album".

I enjoyed this, Mikko. Thanks.

May I ask a couple of simple, newbie, fanboy questions?

In shows, (and on record!), are your vocals/lyrics rehearsed? Or improvised? Or a bit of both?

What was the motivation for the book with the Kiveen Ikuistettu CD?

Con-Dom had a website once, which had a download of an "interview" he did with himself. I recall it started, "Con-Dom is the somethingorother. IS the power, IS the passion". On the site he made some thing about how having it in some kind of Microsoft format wasn't a sell out. I wish I still had that audio, it was great. He had this bit where he started to allude that older people didn't understand what he was about, then went on that "at the risk of contradicting myself", he allowed older people understood a lot more than he allowed. I loved how honest that was.

Also remember the Smell & Quim site, with its lexicon of Northern English terms and phrases and other shit. Where did that go? I had a look but was too drunk to find it.

Oh, and here's the DPI website:

Mourmansk 150 was a French power electronics project active from 1997-2014 and they surprisingly still have an interactive website online with text, sound and visuals. Great 'atmosphere' and quite fun to explore.

I went down an internet rabbit hole today on the Wayback Machine archive and found the old Death Pact International website. From there, I was able to find Con-Dom's archived website and I think maybe this is the audio interview you're referring to?

https://web.archive.org/web/20090308020848/http://tesco-distro.com/condom/interview.htm

Excellent listen, of course. I believe this was also released as a tape... maybe some of the older heads are able to shed more light on that.
