There's been some talk about various ways of approaching noise. There are lots of people who are into physical releases and idea of noise album or power electronics album is just about the only way they make or want to experience noise. Could not care less of "noise jams".
They want masterpiece made by actual noise artists.
That is not the only way. A lot of people into noise, they couldn't care less about some genre milestone that came out on tape 30 years ago. They prefer to play, experiment, record. Releases may happen, but it's not like they'd be making some sort of permanent album. Just throw something into public - on physical form or online.
I don't remember which topic it may have been, but there indeed are some guys, who post a lot of noise experiments into YouTube, and they are funny, also often innovative. None of stuff would really work as album you listen to, but as a video material of someone experimenting with gear or "sound source objects", they appear to reach quite massive amount of viewers. Clearly, there are more people who like to see how other guys patch modulars or how they connect pedals or how they make the noise... than there are people who want to experience physical noise album?
This topic came to mind, while watching Haudat @ Kyrens Slott, 12.5.2023 live rehearsal video. Artist posted it on YouTube on his channel, unlisted, so you maybe have to get the link for it, or maybe he shared it somewhere. Indeed, it is just what name describes. Placing phone on table or something, and filming 15 minute rehearsal session. OK'ish sound, set that could have been another rehearsal tape (not sure if it even is?). But perhaps also works solely as video handful of curious people will check out what they guy is doing. In this case, how he actually does it, isn't so well seen due angle of camera.
Anyways, thoughts about this phenomena in noise? Interested to see gear tests, rehearsals, sound experiments on video. Does it trivialize noise? Does it change the nature of harsh noise if it is not about the good release, but becomes just like you got internet filled with instrument playing videos, guitar shredders doing their thing - which is everything else than creation of good albums.
Some examples could be:

It is kind of mind-blowing to think, you'd have the noise landmarks exist in editions of 50.. and then something like last link.. 5000 views in few months. It kind of underlines how different noise approaches probably have almost entirely different audience and the makers?
