GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Lure of the new gear?

Last post by Into_The_Void - November 29, 2025, 10:04:13 AM

Has anyone else reached gear fatigue? I haven't brought anything new in years.

I, but I am also less inspired lately, and I have way less time to do music. But yeah, overall I think I don't really need more stuff than what I already own.

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: NOISE RELATED RANDOM TALK ...

Last post by post-morten - November 28, 2025, 11:56:04 PM

Well, wasn't it always part of industrial tactics to put on masks - literally but also in terms of dealing with sensitive or provocative topics through embracing them - did anyone ever believe Whitehouse to be rapists, child molesters etc.? I never thought the AIW guy was African and also never thought it relevant. I think Xiu Xiu is lazily going for low hanging fruits here and that the discussion is grossly simplified because of it. Why is it so hard for people to deal with ambiguity these days?

You need to make a distinction here. Sure, creeping under the skin of serial killers, sexual predators, cult leaders, dictators and the like, to understand how they are wired, has been a current within the industrial scene since day one. But subscribing to a colonial mindset is altogether a different thing, that has been uncool for 50+ years. For me, that is what AIW is up to... exploiting the peoples of the African continent for his own benefit. Is there a hidden agenda behind all this faux ethno shtick? Is he perhaps examining the atrocities committed by the French colonial powers? I for one doubt it. Now I know I'll get a bunch of flak from all the tough guys here, but so be it.

GENERAL VISUAL ART / LITERATURE DISCUSSION / Re: Kalervo Palsa - Finnish tr...

Last post by DBL - November 28, 2025, 03:32:36 PM

I tried watching the film when I was just getting to know Palsa's works, and back then I understood nothing of it and didn't watch it through. I did re-watch it in full later on, and while I appreciate it exists, I'd guess it offers very little to anyone who isn't fairly familiar with Palsa best known comics and paintings and the "highlights" of his life beforehand. It's very fragmentary indeed.

There's a new Sarjakupla podcast episode about Memoirs Of A Pensioner, the English translation of Palsa's Eläkeläinen Muistelee comic. The podcast itself is in Finnish though. https://soundcloud.com/sarjakupla/76-memoirs-of-a-pensioner
Seems soundcloud has gotten a lot shittier since I last used it, one can't skip ahead on the track without logging in and it took a few tries to get the podcast to play at all.

NEW RELEASES ANNOUNCEMENTS / Re: Absolute Key: New releases

Last post by AJK - November 28, 2025, 01:29:45 PM

Here we go again, with a twist. Into Endless Chaos just released a collaboration album between Absolute Key & Brånd. This album took three years to complete, and now it's here: my loops, samples and noise mixed with Brånd's indie rock / black metal hybrid. Very weird mix, I would say. Check out the songs and if it scratches you in a right way, make an order. I will have copies for Finnish customers.
