GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: The Summer Of Merzbox:

Last post by Balor/SS1535 - Today at 02:22:02 AM

Disc 23: Merzbow truly evolves in a spiral.  Back again to collage-work, but also someplace new.  Rather than pure and simple Dada-juxtaposition, the samples and the compositions that Akita creates out of them are much more atmospheric.  While Merzbow has never been short on "themes" in his noise, this is really the outstanding era in which the form of his noise really coincides with some of the ideas he is expressing through it.  Dark, dissonant, but not fully harsh.  (Yes, I know that there is a larger, holistic project that is meaningfully reflected across literally all releases...)

That sounds great.

I can't really answer the question, but as a slight aside, I am currently enjoying CD1 of the Oliveros 11CD box. This CD is '61-'65 timeframe. It has quiet, spacious parts, ...and also some Noise, with a capital N.

Pauline Oliveros' music is entrancing.

Anyone here familiar with the Inchindown oil tanks in Scotland? The world's longest reverb was recorded here [112 seconds]. Pretty amazing. My coworker mentioned it yesterday and he's planning on visiting it this fall.
About half way through this video has an example of the reverb:

Mallard Theory - Duck Textures/Duck Dreams (Duck's Domain)
A violent and drug-crazed duck rampages through Side A.  This is not a high-flying, dynamic rage but a far more tempered and psychedelic one.  Sound sources have that "oozing" sound to them and rarely move much.  NOT wall noise by any means.  Imagine that mixer you used for feedback finally had enough of your shit and started melting right before your eyes.  You are scared but cannot help but marvel at the abhorrent site before you.
Side B is fitting with the title of "Duck Dreams."  I imagine the little mallard snoozing, having dreams of floating in the most serene pond on a perfect summer day.  But wait - there is something coming upon the horizon as this dream wraps up; a storm!  Yes, nothing can be too dreamy with the work of Mallard Theory for too long.  The urge to rip some of the gnarliest harsh noise is just too strong within him.  LOVE IT.

Must quickly note that I love the artwork that came with this one.  Henry's style of screen printing is totally alien to him; a lone duck playing in this fantastic yard.

Sheer Anxiety - Live Performance (Philadelphia, PA)
I am sure there is a live performances thread that was started around here once but I am not really in the mood to venture for it at this time.  I also do not want to start a new one, in fear that the old one might get resurrected as a result.  Still... I want to talk about how great this live set was last night!  While all other performers on the show did a great job, Sheer Anxiety was a standout for me.  The duo consists of Andrea Pensado on electronics and voice and another man whose name I did not catch on percussion.  Could have easily fallen under "sound art/academic noise" territory fairly quick but it managed to stay in the chaotic realm the entire time.  Surprised by how well the snare drum blended into the harsh so well.  No level of pretention present, just a couple of old school experimentalists making a mighty racket in sync.  Will have to see if they have any releases out.

Legless - Untitled (self-released)
Hung out with the man a couple weeks back and had a pleasant evening of jams and grindcore discussion.  At the end of the night, he hands me this tape.  No markings, no track titles, just a tape wrapped in some porno mag; classic, scummy noise.  Finally got to put the tape in this morning, and it stops right away!  Sort of panicked for a minute but ended up getting it to play now.  It's some grimy as hell gutter noise, not that anyone familiar with Legless should expect anything else.  It's cool to see that Danny is back at it in such an adamant way, as this tape is a solid listen.  Plenty of disgusting murk and scrap metal abuse to nod off to!

GENERAL VISUAL ART / LITERATURE DISCUSSION / Re: What are you reading

Last post by cantle - July 16, 2025, 02:13:32 PM

Neo-Nazi Terrorism and Countercultural Fascism: The Origins and Afterlife of James Mason's Siege by antifascist warrior Spencer Sunshine.

Apparently been nearly a decade in the making and is indeed exhaustively researched as the author had full access to Mason's meticulous archive of letters, clippings, etc. Features chapters on Boyd Rice, Adam Parfrey (subtitled "A Neo Nazi's Best Friend"!), Nikolas Schreck, Michael Moynihan and others of the so-called "Abraxas Clique". Obviously heavily biased but still a good read on the history of fringe US politics with a surprising amount of coverage of 90s industrial culture. Essentially blames Feral House and the underground for promoting and keeping this terrorist handbook relevant. Thought there'd be more on those wacky Atomwaffen kids though, seeing as they resurrected Mason in his later years.

Just read this myself. I think he fails to make a strong enough link from the 80/90s counterculture to the Atomwaffen crowd. Given how well the 60/70s Neo Nazi scene is documented, the opposite is true for post 2010, which (imo) weakens his argument.

Now where can I buy a copy of Siege to see what all the fuss is about...?

I wish I had your problems guys. I am in the opposite camp - if I am in the middle of creating a song (for example, recorded audio and am halfway through writing lyrics) then THIS is the only thing I can think of. THIS is a distraction from everything else in life. There is no way I can focus on a movie or a book if I know I have music to finish.
