I was talking with guy who felt that episodes being behind paywall, even if one totally gets why so, it is still a bit shame considering how some crucial discussions could benefit the expression in general.
Indeed, due current schedule, I am yet about 2/3 through The Rita afterblast and it would be safe to say, it is very very relevant noise discussion, that would be perhaps ideal to be heard by as many as possible. There are a lot of different discussions about noise, but one is triggered by comments from mr. Skinner, who urged for noise go beyond texture.
It is curious how difficult question it is. Oskar asks multiple times and Sam explains his points through. As a persona who is not native in english, it may be fairly common thing to do, but sometimes even if you are fairly fluent in english, it could be also easiest to check out dictionary? What is texture? How texture is defined?
Sam mentions, if you just squint a little, Vomir and TNB, they are both texture. Perhaps, yes, but lets say you don't have to squint. You may do other things, such as: zoom out. Lets see you look Vomir very carefully, feeling says the texture is more like looking the the desert. Grain is there and zooming out reveals there is just more of that. If zooming out something else, you may notice there are other forms. Not only texture, but form. Not only forms, but perhaps "objects", bigger compositional elements. Texture is there, within everything, but there is something else. Can be figurative, but doesn't have to be. It may be merely form that could no longer be described as "texture". Like looking closely piece of granite. Lots of neat texture, color variation, tiny edges and whatever.. but looking a bit further, there is a difference is it only block of granite or if it displays some conscious form. Abstract or figurative.
I think the same with noise. Sam will tell you his views about rejecting notions of is something easy or difficult (to make) and that everything is texture... in a way yes, but one can also place himself in that particular distance as listener, or as maker, where it is possible to hear noise beyond texture. Not excluding texture, but having also other qualities that that. I can be wrong, but my assumption was that Skinner meant that, as his work, despite having absolutely tasty texture, its not minimalist expression of texture, but there is form what reveals itself without need of "zooming in".
