NOISE RELATED RANDOM TALK TOPIC

[HateSermon]

Flutter was one of my first noise gigs that I attended. I don't quite remember how the show went but I do remember the band handing out twinkies to the crowd and watching them eat them was part of the "performance". I have yet to meet the guys but I do think they're still around, just maybe not coming to shows anymore or whatever. Kind of local legends amongst the older noise / underground guys here.

Which early noise artists started recording and releasing noise without being directly influenced by commonly cited musique concrète, electroacoustic or free improvisation works? Writings on the history of noise often credit such works for originating noise but it seems that many artists were recording things close to noise independent of the usual influences. Tools like portable recorders and effects units becoming more widely available must have enabled lots of people to experiment with noisy sounds without knowing about the precursors to noise; the possibilities are obvious when the tools are in front of you.

I recieved Sexorama boxset today. Bought it as Statutory Tape but i think it's the RRRecords one, writes 'Re-released on RRRecords' and i cant see Statutory Tape written anywhere, or STATAP catalog number, though the text on the spine is not entirely visible due to black tape used to hold the broken box together.

Can anyone confirm if label and catalog number are mentioned on the ST version and where ? Or how can tell the difference ? I m fine with any of these, just to know what i have.

I can't really answer the question, but as a slight aside, I am currently enjoying CD1 of the Oliveros 11CD box. This CD is '61-'65 timeframe. It has quiet, spacious parts, ...and also some Noise, with a capital N.

Anyone here familiar with the Inchindown oil tanks in Scotland? The world's longest reverb was recorded here [112 seconds]. Pretty amazing. My coworker mentioned it yesterday and he's planning on visiting it this fall.
About half way through this video has an example of the reverb:

That sounds great.

Pauline Oliveros' music is entrancing.

Didn't quite figure out where else to post this, and I think it is not worth it's own topic since it is interesting to maybe a very few people in general, but as it is very much my special interest, I wrote about my personal approach to butoh and making sound to it. The English version follows the Japanese one.

Yesterday at Tower Transmissions, project called "Pffft...!" was best surprise! Total industrial noise with massive sound. I had no idea what to expect and it was easily among the best and had zero expectations.

GO new gig tape was purchased and also Kommando had released special packaged tape, 2025 album that is only available at the gigs. Gig was very good!

This year sound is louder than before and pretty high expectations for today.
