Probably a question nobody can answer, but... How many releases are with, or use, Stimbox?
No idea, but as much as I appreciate the vitality and energy of early original Stella/Roemer Macronympha, Stimbox was certainly at that time also on top of harsh noise, and his input to Macronympha could be worth to investigate further. When looking what is there with Tim, it all kills:
Intensive Care (CD, Album) Self Abuse Records SAD-07 1998
Macronympha / Grunt - Eye For An Eye (LP, Ltd) Freak Animal Records FREAK-LP-007 1998
Macronympha - Membranes And Black Holes album art
(this one would be good to reissue with louder sound. It is 2002 CD, so transfers from original tape master were not absolutely best, and the volume level of CD also quite low. I probably still have the original audio tapes and original full color art too)Melting Softly Into Time (LP, Album, Ltd) Hospital Productions, Self Abuse Records HOS-111, SAR LP 04 2005
Priapus (CDr, Album) Harshnoise HN-012 2005
Bulk Density (2xCDr) Harshnoise HN-028 2006
and more...
It may be a bit cuntish' comment to say, but in later incarnations of Macronympha, there seems to be more abusive approach. As if guys, who certainly could do noise on their own, needs some type of mascot to be able to sell couple of one hour noise chunks. There are good items in newer Macronympha. But vast majority of it seems as if the status plays too big role? I don't think Tim has much to gain from Macronympa. Just noiseheads collaborating that seems to benefit both as a unit. In some of new releases, I wonder what artist(s) and label(s) and listener(s) get out of yet another release. You know, over 30 new titles in 2018. When back in the day, most of Macronympha would have been unique pieces, people hunting down and listening decades later filled with inspiration. Now, situation seems vastly different. I would wonder how many would have multiple favorite Macronympha titles in post 2016 works?
