Anal Sadist - American Refuse (Tribe Tapes)
Harsh noise from a name unknown to me previously.  I guess there was some Hates/California scene association.  Very good stuff!  Fits right into the Tribe Tapes lineup of things, despite being so harsh.  Beneath the piercing highs and industrial crushing is a hypnotic power to it.  Despite being a compilation, there is an apparent flow that was put into the tracklisting, and it plays out well for a one sitting listening experience.  I am not seeing too much love for it online, so I would recommend on this post that you check it out if you have not yet done so.

Illusion of Safety - RVE (Tribe Tapes, reissue)
Now this is a name I know but have not explored too deeply into.  This lineup of Illusion of Safety features Jim O'Rourke on it, whose noisier output I have been finding myself enjoying more of in recent years.  Similar to Anal Sadist, there is a hypnotic power to this one.  Simple looping and sampling trudges on and on until another part seamlessly blends in.  It gets harsh, it gets quiet, it gets weird.  Despite sounding like it has a diverse array of sounds, they are all spaced out to make the final product remain minimal in presentation.  Good move, I think this works in the album's favor.  And the way it ends especially... ugh... magical!!!!

Niille, jotka harkitsevat tuloa, niin tiedoksi että keikkapaikalla on mahdollista yöpyä - omat makuupussit ja -alustat mukaan, sekä tarpeen tullen lämmintä vaatekerrosta.

For those considering attending, please note that it is possible to stay overnight at the venue – bring your own sleeping bags and mattresses, as well as some warm clothing if necessary.

Jakso vasta kuuntelussa, mutta nyt ennenkuin unohtaa mainita että "Project Eden" ei varsinaisesti liity Eden Project kokeiluun eikä varsinkaan Project Eden nimiseen myöhemmin ilmestyneeseen peliin tai tv sarjaan ja mitä niitä nyt on.

Grunt biisi oli Europe After Storm kassulle nauhoitettu jo 1998 ja sitten livenä Strom.ec collaboraatio versio 1999, jotka on julkaistu Europa After Storm CD versiolla. Pitää katsoa olisiko kappaleen lyriikka vielä helposti löydettävissä, mutta näin vuosikymmenten jälkeen ulkomuistista, se käsitteli kasetin teeman mukaisesti ihmisen pyrkimystä luoda jollain järjestelmällä paratiisiin verrattavissa olevat yhteiskunnalliset puitteet, mutta tunnetusti ihmisen suhde paratiisiin nykyistä termistöä käyttäen vähintään problemaattinen. Tuo paratiisin ja maanpäällisen taivaan ajatus on itselleni aihe johon palaa levy levyltä, bändistä/projektista riippumatta, hieman eri konteksteissa.

Jotkut voi muistella aikaa, kun kuviteltiin että euroopassa ei tule olemaan sotaa ja sitten ysärillä olikin taas melkoista myllytystä ja kansikuvassa näytillä oleva Jugoslavian hajoamissodat oli kassua nauhoittaessa vielä ihan täydessä touhussa. Sen jälkeen taas oli melko paljon optimismia ettei Euroopassa nähdä enää sotia, mutta kasetin nimibiisi lupaili että tulevan rauhan kauden jälkeen luvassa vanhaa tuttua. Ei sinänsä sidottu silloin tapahtuvaan konfliktiin vaikka grafiikkaa ja inspiraatiota otettu suoraan siinä hetkessä meneillään olevista tapahtumista.

Mitä tulee kassun puolien volume eroon, se johtuu soundin erilaisesta "tiiviydestä". Strom.ec  sellaista tietokoneen sisällä tehtyä sähköistä tuotantoa joka visuaalisesti piikki tasoltaan yhtä kovalla kuin Grunt. Grunt taas treenis-live, kassu 4-raituri jne täpöllä narulle henkistä kamaa jossa piikki taso samoissa, mutta turboahdettu tiiviimmäksi. Sen ajan hienosäätö hieman haasteellisempaa ja "näillä mennään" hengessä kumpikin hoiti omat masterinsa..

GENERAL SOUND DISCUSSION / Re: Entertaining the audience
Last post by FreakAnimalFinland - August 27, 2025, 10:54:37 AM
That is a good question. It is also related into question is artists is listening to other peoples noise. It has been examined many times, that certain artists, when they were at the very top of their creative peak, it appears that they were immersed into it. When they sort of left the noise, and started to only focus on their own material, sometimes it starts to become sucky. The perspective what is good, what is being done. Level of creativity, where couple oscillations of MS-20 or shaker with distortion ain't going to cut it.

Question could be, why anyone would play through my tape, if I didn't care even listen to it twice and it has no ideas or strength. To press XXX amount of item, I do consider what is needs to be to justify making an album. Audience certainly plays role there, even if it would be kind of theoretical and imaginary audience. I do avoid product designed to specific audience. That seems a bit lame. It is different to be able to imagine audience that perhaps doesn't currently exist, but will, when there is something they will discover they liked. (To feed audience more of what they consume is different motivation.)

Quote from: FreakAnimalFinland on August 25, 2025, 09:58:26 AM"This is for me the inspiring element in live noise. You can stubbornly create what you intended to, without any consideration of audience or the other artists. Just doing your thing as planned. Yet, reality is, that the audience and the other artists are there, and possibly they set up specific mood that may be good to be recognized. If you are able to harness this situation, feel what is the energy and vibe, and change your plan accordingly, that is talent in my eyes."

Recently there was also talk about that other side of things. Couple people talking about recent release that indeed seemed to be all about self indulgent, personal catharsis,.. display of artists private struggles and emotions.



I know all things said above may indicate I stand for acknowledging the audience. Yes indeed, but, question would be still what really is the role of audience? I doubt there is point for creative art that you approach it like pure entertainment. One may not need to aim for audience to love it or offer them something you think they want to hear. Hit songs only -type of thing.
With a release or live, I would suppose there must be consideration of audience of some sort, even if it wasn't done for entertainment purposes per se.

I think the best question here is: in what ways can an artist take their audience into consideration in order to make better noise?

Interesting thread.

But what does "entertaining" really mean? I am "entertained" sitting in a bathtub or a chair while a Noise CD blasts away. I've never been to a Vomir show, but I know that I would be "entertained" with him standing there, with his bag. I might bring my own bag.

I suppose the setting could help - a nice room with nice wallpaper / lighting!? Or does that matter? I'm not sure. I think I'd be entertained by Crass on the street in 1977. Do we need the bells and whistles in Noise? (Punk?)
