Women In Noise? Women Here??

[anusenvy]

Sorry .. it's not ok to be aroused or talk about it.


Anyways, I was just suddenly reminded of Masturbatory Dysfunction and how she had no pictures of herself performing or otherwise with her face showing but otherwise she posted very erotic photos. Through conversation I learned this was on purpose. Always fascinated me for some reason.

I recent Joensuu show, I talked with couple ladies asking am I seeing wrong, but isn't audience like.. half women? Maybe not mathematically exactly, but close enough to give this impression. It wasn't about girlfriends showing up kind of thing (which is cool too), but everybody actually watching ALL the shows, that consisted pretty much harsh noise.
Evening included one female artist, Nikama. She doesn't have any physical releases. Gigs have been hit & miss, but this particular gig was great!

Week before there was in Helsinki not only Nikama, but female noise artists THE GLORIA. There are plenty of women in the audience.

So, this message replying "women in noise?" - Even if there always is women at shows, at these recent gigs, it seemed as if there was even more than before. Plus every gig having female artists too.

Thanks. Admittedly I'm not...er...getting out much. 😂 (ie Going to Noise Shows). I made assumptions about this (and about the makeup of this forum.) I'm glad to be wrong.

I inherently mistrust any one who considers either the creation or the consumption of art to be therapeutic.

This seems like an attitude that's going to pretty much dismiss most art, noise or otherwise. Art as catharsis is as old as art itself. Plenty of art is borne out of the artist's pain or trauma and their desire to find some kind of closure or meaning out of it, and plenty of people have used consumed art to help them cope with the vagaries of life.

Now if that's the ONLY thing someone gets out or art, if they're using it as a crutch, then I can understand seeing that with disdain. But art as a way to deal with pain is as authentic and valid as anything else.

yeah, i was thinking about that. I think the woman who talked about PE like that only meant it as a means to an end and nothing more. but yeah the post you're referring to just seems ignorant and close minded. unless there's some hidden meaning that he would like to elaborate on.

to be fair noise shows are pretty hard to even know about unless you're in some circle. i would love to go to some but i'm pretty sure i'm the only noise enjoyer in my town.
