Macronympha - Relentless Agony (Tribe Tapes, reissue)
I find this disc to be an interesting and oh-so needed reissue because it sits as a perfect precursor to what become a far more masterful period of Macro.  The editing would become far tighter and the pacing would be relentless and breakneck.  It is where the consistently named "favorites" of their works fall under.  Works prior to this period had a much "looser" sound and really came across as the duo trying to find out exactly how to make the noise they wanted.

So I am basically saying that Relentless Agony is a perfect middle point between the two styles.  The editing is strong, but not as frantic as something like Grind or Intensive Care.  There is still room for loops to breathe for at least a minute or two before changing up.  There is still some exploration to be had, namely with what I assume is Roemer shredding on the guitar.  Guitar noise is really a tough sell for some, but I think it happens to soar as a bright point here in the mix.

Great reissue overall; an essential get for anyone's Macronympha section of the record shelf/

Solo piano.
Recorded on a portable tape recorder and manipulated with various softwares.
Not noise of course, but maybe someone could enjoy it.

This sounds very nice, has a very subtle but haunting quality about it.

Disc 18: Have we made it?  I think we made it.  Heavy industrial noise, and I like it!  I can't help but feel that we are missing out as listeners by not having some rough approximation of the original Pornoise packaging, though.

Max Julian Eastman - Recycled (RRR)
The newest entry in the ever-so lovely Recycled series is one that couldn't be more fitting.  Max is already quite the remix artist with his own sound sources, so it makes sense for him to join this series.  If you are familiar with his work, then you know what is in store; tons of tape soup and other delectable sound collage for the ears to feast on!

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Quitting Noise
Last post by Atrophist - July 09, 2025, 05:44:39 PM
I've gone through many different life periods, some good, some not so good, lived in 5 different countries, tried things and yeah I admit, quit them when I discovered they weren't for me. I "discovered" noise in my early 20's, but I was already approaching middle age when I really got into it. Like I mentioned in Olli's (EoD) documentary, this one is starting to feel like a life sentence. No complaints.

There's also Gotape in Slovenia:

Might not be the cheapest, but if you want quality, Edisco is superior to any other manufacturer.

Quote from: Theodore on June 27, 2025, 12:16:26 PMGood point, i wonder too. Maybe collecting is a male habit ?

I know several women who collect things (magazines, dolls, porcelain pieces, fashion items, etc etc.), and let's not forget that collecting music is becoming less common nowadays for both men and women. Since extreme genres are still predominantly male-dominated, most sales will naturally go to men.

On the other hand, I assume attendance numbers at shows are likely to be much more balanced.

Female here.

Been doing noise (mostly live)since 94, both in groups and solo. i have sporadically put out tapes, but have put out stuff fairly consistently since 2010.

i took long breaks due to playing in grindcore/black metal/death metal bands between 1994 and 2010.

my label MSDO has a lot of women artists. Farrah Faucet, Winter Rose, Side Wound, Chana Levannah, LURED, DTH DRV, NoAthlete, etc.

i'm a huge fan of Alessandra Zerbatini, Prayer Rope, Moonbeam Terror,AntiChildLeague,and Torschlusspanik amongst others.

  i would say my label would be mostly known here due to the releases i have done for Black Leather Jesus and Caligula 031. expect records from Wertham/Psywarfare and The Rita by the end of the year.
