GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Negativity and noise/indus...
Last post by I. Rex - November 21, 2024, 06:50:17 PM
If we talk about Noise\Industrial in general, then, as a rule, everything depends on the context in which the author puts his work and on the perception of a particular person.

Harsh Noise, as mentioned above, is quite flexible in this aspect and often you can change the cover, change the track names and get a completely different impression of the same material. Often, but of course not always. There are projects, in which the author uses nature sounds, such as grass rustling, wind sounds, etc., which are distorted later to unrecognizable extent. And what supposedly should sound like something life-affirming sounds aggressive for an unprepared listener, despite the fact that the source material is field recordings of nature, and on the cover instead of corpses and blood, for example, the same nature elements or a nice photo of the author. On the contrary - some Industrial, which is quite soft sounding, can be perceived as something sinister, due to the relevant design or concept.

In Death/Black metal you are still limited to certain themes, usually related to the dark aspects of the human psyche, or reality in general. But not always performers working in such genres pursue the purpose to glorify death in any of its manifestations, for example NSBM carries a "positive" message that death, destruction, etc. are necessary to achieve the "higher purpose", whatever it is expressed in. That is, all "negative" aspects serve to achieve a "good" for a certain type of people. Grindcore is not always about bursting skulls and guts, you can find a lot of politicized bands that are "positive" in that they highlight the problems of social inequality, fight, as they believe, for someone's rights, etc. But for a person who is not in the subject, it's all just a lot of noise with crazy screams that he want to stay away from :) And in that respect, all of the above genres are, of course, inherently negative.

Curiously interview was done without any serious preparation. We had not discussed beforehand what all topic will be covered. I just explained it doesn't matter if it's 15 min or hours and we'll discuss what comes naturally and that'll be it. Whole recording was actually well over 3 hours, but I did cut big part of my own ramblings to get pace faster plus of course, focus on the actual target of interview, hah..

DEAD BODY LOVE / ATRAX MORGUE split LP - listened this couple of times and appreciate very much what was done with this! LP sounds good plus packaging does justice for original, also with insert that is basically replica of the original cover, but inside you will find two page long recollections of mr. DBL talking about his contact with Corbelli.

On some level negativity equates with keeping it real. For a given value of real. I mean. Are we not alive, in this world. Okay then.

But all that goes out the window when the vibrations invade the earhole. At which point, it's just vibrations. To which one or another series of vaguely coherent notions may (or may not) be attached.

Knock yourself out.
