GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Women In Noise? Women Here...

This seems like an attitude that's going to pretty much dismiss most art, noise or otherwise. Art as catharsis is as old as art itself. Plenty of art is borne out of the artist's pain or trauma and their desire to find some kind of closure or meaning out of it, and plenty of people have used consumed art to help them cope with the vagaries of life.

yeah, i was thinking about that. I think the woman who talked about PE like that only meant it as a means to an end and nothing more. but yeah the post you're referring to just seems ignorant and close minded. unless there's some hidden meaning that he would like to elaborate on.

Thanks. Admittedly I'm not...er...getting out much. 😂 (ie Going to Noise Shows). I made assumptions about this (and about the makeup of this forum.) I'm glad to be wrong.

to be fair noise shows are pretty hard to even know about unless you're in some circle. i would love to go to some but i'm pretty sure i'm the only noise enjoyer in my town.

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Low fidelity art

Last post by anusenvy - February 01, 2026, 08:16:53 PM

TVE/Seamus is incredible. Fantastic audio and visual artist, super interesting approach and set of influences. Who else do you know bootlegging David Tudor and P16.D4 t-shirts? I've got a feature from one of his collages tattooed on my arm. The absolute real deal.

In terms of artists operating in similar ways I would recommend anything around the UVC/Born Physical Form world.

Thank you very much for recommendation. I myself have had the pleasure of doing duo with him. That's awesome about the tattoo. Ironically I've considered getting his art as tattoo as well. I once decorated my cubicle with his art. It was a huge hit ....

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Low fidelity art

Last post by anusenvy - February 01, 2026, 08:05:03 PM

Hello all.

There is a New England artist whose work I'm very fond of. The project is TVE. This is his (Seamus) solo endeavor. He is also a part of groups like Lean and performs with Venerate the Plough and such. Met him through noise. Always appreciated having performers sound like this on same show as harsher sounding projects. TVE is all tape related... spliced/overdubbed on dirty tapes/field recordings to dirty tape/etc. At times it just sounds like dirty tape with no sound recording playing. In Lean he typically crudely builds crackle boxes and other such instruments. He also is a visual artist (all releases on his label and his own personal ones are his own art). His label is Ayurvedic Tapes. I'm linking 1 album on bandcamp, 1 album that may be of some interest to this specific forum (discogs), and his label (discogs)

https://tvewaves.bandcamp.com/album/death-sentence

https://www.discogs.com/release/8631653-TVE-Dedicated-To-Heather-Hunter

https://www.discogs.com/label/623815-Ayurvedic-Tapes

I have a very large selection of his solo, duo, and label releases that are not on his Bandcamp. I also have some of his art zines. If interested in any, feel free to DM.

Interested in learning about similar artists around the world both in visual art and sound art.

Last post by whitewinter - February 01, 2026, 07:43:28 PM

Not sure if many know Italian magazine THE STORMER. Mostly RAC related bands, but few latest issues from 2012 ( I guess #13 is latest?!) includes number of neofolk/martial/industrial groups. Most related to Skull line label. Small xerox magazines, in Finland found from ID10 distro.

Hi, I'm interested in this "The Stormer" 'zines. If you want to sell some issues, then get in touch with me. Thanks!

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Noise about the internet?

Last post by BatteredStatesofEuphoria - February 01, 2026, 07:33:22 PM

Maybe its just that the Internet is too "easy." The artists of the 80s and 90s had to do all kinds of painstaking thing with primitive techniques like tape and reel-to-reel manipulations, etc. Now you can just open an app on your smartphone and hit record. Of course its not quite that simple, but comparitively, it doesn't seem so impressive. Doesn't mean someone can't do something great with using something like Instagram/Youtube to construct tracks, but the ease of effort involved is going to inherently generate some suspicion with those who have been around for a while.

And that speaks to another aspect of it. The internet is just too NEW for us, too contemporary. This is the world we live in and have known for years. There's no mystery there.

It's kind of like how the early industrial/noise acts would use WW II/Nazi imagery and how it was so shocking for people and it drew them to it. That taboo. Part of that was because it had been 30-40 years prior. People were aware of it, but they hadn't LIVED it. It wasn't their daily reality. But then, I remember back in the early aughts hearing about some band called Columbine, and I just laughed at how inane that was. "That's supposed to be shocking? Why not call yourselves '9/11' so you can be REALLY edgy, instead?" I watched Columbine on TV. There was nothing taboo or mysterious about it. It had just happened barely a few years before. It was still very much the reality of what I knew. Calling a band that wasn't shocking or offensive, it was just dumb and above all, LAZY.

Same with Instagram noise or whatever. Its just too close to the current, mundane world (even if I'm not on it) for it to really have the kind of resonance that Merzbow or whoever taking 10 different sound sources and assembling it all with a tape deck and some cheap electronics back in the 80s is going to have.

So yeah, maybe all this says is that I and everyone else are just old farts. :) I fully realize someone younger might have a totally different view on this.

Perhaps in 50 years "Instagram/Youtube noise" will be the revered pieces that everyone covets while they make fun of whatever's current.
