Quote from: Hakaristi on December 23, 2025, 06:52:02 AMQuote from: Cranial Blast on December 23, 2025, 05:34:22 AMI finally picked up this film called Family Portraits (A Trilogy Of America) on DVD. It's like 3 short flicks rolled into one whole film about dysfunctional family life and darker themes in regards to that and probably falls somewhere between drama/horror combo. It came out in the early 2000 era, which generally not a big fan of films from this time, but had seen some of the graphic violent effects and looked more real and practical, so immediately grabbed my attention, also should mention it's three shorts span from 1997 to 2003, so not sure if this was intended by the director or if it's more of a collective of sorts, but looking forward to checking this one out!
Was a big fan of the Cutting Moments short while knee-deep in collecting "extreme cinema". Not sure how it holds up nowadays though, budget possibly diminishes its impact. Should pull the DVD and give it another look at some point.
It's one of those weird ones that's been floating on my list for years and just hadn't gotten around to it until now. I was a lot more into films years ago and not until more recently just started rewatching things again and picking up some other odd ones along the way that I've been wanting to see. I picked up this weird sci fi/horror flick called Xtro, a really bizarre one!

Enjoyed the footage of the live Grunt performance the other day, for once, a noise show translated nicely on my phone (the audio generally doesn't give it justice unless you have decent headphones in)

Excellent! Still so tired of previous night all-day travel from Germany to Finland, that I did see beginning and end, but slept over part of the middle... have to re-listen today.
TNB question is funny. I would suspect there are enough people to be sure Rupenus exists. I did see him one time at backstage of London venue, at one of the... ehm.. final shows. Lets see what kind of information will be including in the book that should be out early 2026!
It is curious question about surprising collaboration of The Haters and Con-Dom. If one thinks about it in terms of "sub-genre", perhaps. Like one doing broken glass and car crashed, other power electronics.. but when one actually thinks about it, both projects are heavily conceptual. This is what Dando appreciates and I believe he has mentioned it back in the day. Despite projects may have different aesthetics and different sound and people file them under different genres, I would say it is absolutely possible to file both under conceptual noise. What GX says about "finding your own fetish and dealing with it" (or something in that line) as principle of noise certainly applies with Con-Dom. Call it fetish or not, there was the conceptual foundation and proceeding tp deal with it for decades. Even if one being preoccupied by decay and entropy and one with control and domination, I think its not like two opposites. Perhaps as history displays, even peers & collaborators. That would be element I would hope would be resurrected from the 80/90's. Not being preoccupied with subgenre or some sort of surface level "themes", but going notch deeper into artistic motivations and creative urges.

I dont record, but the last 2 months i work at a construction site. Demolition -by hand!- and rebuilding. The sounds ? True industrial symphony. Materials ? Whatever you want, the size you want it, or we can cut it to your wish, heh. - We are just 2 people there -believe it or not- ! Made me asking myself should i start record ?
Anyway, if anyone was stopping by, asking can i take some debris / scrap / leftovers ... Please do !
Good time to make a first attempt at sourcing some great sounds that could be fun to play around with at any rate.
Often I'll throw all kinds of damaged shite from jobs in the back of my pick up and people on the job will look at me like what do you want with that rubbish?! One part of my garage is taken up completely by total junk metal shit. I go to a landfill often and dump loads of shit and lots of noise there too with the bulldozer going off beep beep and smash smash! I wanted to duct tape Sony handheld tape recorder to the hood of dump truck and just gather the experience better.
