I'd start by saying everything I can say about the Star project is perceived and could be way off base - I don't know the artist and have zero insight beyond what can be gleamed from taking in his recorded output. But I do have some observations I think might be interesting to share.
Star's work is separate from the bulk of noise artists output in how it exists within the genre. Many or even most noise artists position themselves in the canon via composition, or tactile features like how loud it feels - or perhaps even by negation of the genre. Regardless of how this is achieved - I feel like most artists are trying to make the best (or worst) possible noise they can manage. That seems totally separate from what Star is working to achieve.
Star instead seems to be just happening to exist within the noise music spectrum, and that point is a bulletpoint which is much further down the list of importance to his contemporaries. Star is myth-making and world building, and the fact that this world or worlds exist within the context of noise seems at least in part incidental. Star could just as eaily be animation or installation and would feel just as Star. This point allows the work to feel distinctly authored - or existing on the artist's end of the artist / craftsman spectrum.
Instead, noise as incidental medium becomes a forum for a living, breathing thinking process - not only storytelling or docuemntary or harshestness of the DOD smashers. I can picture the process of an artist sitting and recording a VHS to tape, hitting rewind on the player, hitting record again, hitting rewind, cavemanning their way through a loop - asking themself "why am I even doing this?" as they work their way through something much more existential. Leaving a feedback dialogue too high in a mix, and saying "why would anyone want this?" Noise as process.
So maybe in some way Star isn't using noise to make his myths and build his worlds at all - but is using a critique of noise music to express his truth. Star is not attempting to transcend what noise is - but is expanding how big of a container it is and what that container can carry.
