NOISE RELATED RANDOM TALK TOPIC

[Tribe Tapes]

In sense, that people into local live noise scene - I would estimate a lot of people come and go. In terms of physical international art, it is often amusing to see how many of the same guys are there since the 80's! Like DS book may display, local scenes disappear when couple key figures no longer than and the crucial venues no longer there, but some timeless elements of noise remain.

I've always stressed the importance of creating a physical document and seeking international networking over merely playing / attending local shows. It is simply more permanent, more rewarding than putting time and energy into a local scene that can falter within a few years.

I concur with that sentiment 100%. Power Electronics/Noise/Industrial has always been and in my opinion, been more so about documenting with some kind of physical product and also making, like you say those connections and networking with others in the world. Local scenes do seem to come and go with time and this appears to be evidently true in America especially. I think by having some sort of documentation out there, then there is a chance for the material to possibly be rediscovered again at a later period in time. It can be revisited and less easily forgotten.
