I've always enjoyed jamming, recording, and playing live with a band, but I've only been able to achieve maximum productivity when I'm alone. I never ruled out collaborating with others to create music, but a solo project, or "one man band," is where I feel most comfortable and get the most pleasure from creating music.
I don't think I would have become interested in PE/noise at all if I weren't inclined toward loneliness. Not to mention creating noise myself. Not everyone I interact with outside of the internet shares my interest. And even in a big city like St. Petersburg, noise gigs are a rarity, especially now. So it's unlikely that anything will change for me if there are even fewer people interested in this topic.

Quote from: FreakAnimalFinland on February 02, 2026, 11:38:02 AMFrom perspective of noise, there are some major figures who made scene of specific moment to be what it is. Lets say Gaya of Antichildleague is not only noisician, but major gig promoter of industrial-noise. She is to thank for A LOT of most significant 00's power electronics and noise things. Or Ina of Tower Transmissions, who may not be so visible for people who do not know about festival, but indeed right there on top of entire operation. Something like Artware label is obviously long gone, but just couple of weeks ago, Ulex Xane credited Donna Klemm to be the person who was the first to really buy and import Streicher tapes. Lifting the project from obscure, almost private tape trading network into being treated like releases of real label: getting distributed by dealers. These just couple obvious examples of people who really have changed noise history in very different magnitude compared to dude who just put out couple audio releases.
In this context of females playing pivotal roles behind the scenes, so to say, I want to pay tribute to Katarina Johansson. Seasoned Swedes know who she is, but probably unknown elsewhere. Katarina was very early in the Swedish industrial scene, ran the Spanking Housewives distro and contributed to the mid-80s zine Res Publika. She travelled over Europe, hung out at Club Moral, visited Gary Mundy when he still lived at his parents' house, interviewed Douglas Pearce in a London cemetary. She DJ'ed at events, did graphic design for flyers and record covers, contributed so much in different areas. In the early 2000's we did a series of events, Club Rehab, with all the big local names (IRM, Institut, Survival Unit, Ochu, Treriksröset, etc) spiced up with international acts like MK9 and Dieter Müh. Her role can not be overstated. Sadly she's not with us anymore and she is missed by many.

The comparison to film from Ivan Rex is an interesting point, as I think it again raises the question of what the "about" specifically entails in this context. There are fantastic and dark films about the Internet like Red Rooms that I thought were very effective. At the same time, however, there are also thought-provoking but not "dark" films by people like Harmony Korine, which capture other aspects of the Internet beyond just its exploitative elements.
Bringing this back to noise, I feel as though many people are restricting noise to the traditional set of themes on abuse, violence, sex, and so on---when that is not necessary. Those can all be valid themes, but noise can also be about essentially anything!
If anything, I think the back and forth on this topic comes significantly from a conservative perspective on what we want the genre to (not) be.
(This is, of course, an entirely different question from whether there are examples to point to of actual noise projects doing all of this!)

I have very mixed feelings about this topic. On the one hand, for me, Noise is an area where I can still get away from the modern internet and everything that comes with it. On the other hand, the absolute freedom of the genre always gives a chance to do something worthwhile, to find an approach to a seemingly trivial topic and turn it into something interesting.
Probably, someone can be inspired by topics such as porn/gaming addiction, humiliation in front of the camera for donations, degradation due to scrolling, etc. In my opinion, all this can work better in a humorous context, but I have not yet heard anything interesting in this vein. It's like horror movies that try to build a plot on the interaction between a maniac and a victim through social media/video chat, or even worse, on internet mysticism, which causes nothing but boredom or, at best, a smile. As an example, "Megan is Missing", from which, if you remove all the moments of communication via video chat, you can make an excellent short film. Most of the scenes on the screen that take place "on the internet" are incredibly annoying.
Now that a significant percentage of internet content can be generated in a couple of clicks, I think it's pointless to use it as a source of sound or video. It's interesting when samples are unique, although some may argue that information noise is directly related to the topic. Maybe, but I'm just not interested in it.

Plus also, the talk about the video editing or website things, mr. Housepig underlining how the best tools are the ones that get things done, is absolutely true. We often get advices what is the BEST tool, be it hardware or software. Sometimes very good, sometimes just have to say, I just do not get into this. I know theoretical benefits, but pragmatic downfall is that it will prevent album from happening at all, hah..

Interesting discussion is the label stuff and also MITB. It is almost amusing how MITB created so much almost fanatic following. I must have mentioned that in late 90's, there was really.. I think 4 local guys who took MITB related tattoo. Some took the full CAPS ON Man is the bastard text, one had FREAK ANIMAL tattooed on his neck. Which is indeed reference for the MITB lyric, not the Finn noise label. Lyrics goes like "man, the freak animal, never stopped to think what the fuck his done". At that time, MITB was almost mythical project. Those who know project more as Eric Wood at the social media -type of thing, might not see the project in same way.
I don't know how it is elsewhere, but over here, we are dominated by english language sources. Countries that are way nearer and even phenomena of severe importance, stays completely overshadowed by something pretty ridiculous. And it feels like... okay, so man dies in incident and how many years we should mourn it? I understand it in case where people feel it is close to them, but it sentimentality on the subject seems like symptom of american imperialism really. You look the obsession with epstein files and shit like that and it's like... substitute for watching reality TV, isn't it?
Yet, in this Housepig case, the positive is of course that despite there may not be utterly direct connection of noise & topic of discussion, it is there nevertheless. Man clearly has been involved in underground art that has the spirit that leads into this type of thing. Meaning sort on punk-esque activism. And putting things in a bit larger perspective.
My criticism mainly is, that when there is so little of noise information and great noise stories, it is slightly annoying if THE MOST talked subject that takes pretty much all the air you breath, does it also here. Luckily when they get over it, the rest of episode gives you great and pretty funny Namanax story, Bastard Noise/MITB, touches the logistics of DIY distro, selling at gigs, putting out CD's. Releases that had impact, plus also talking about how physical items do not mean so much anymore and why so.
Despite seemingly critical, I think this was in fact very good episode!
