Hey guys, shall we all make unlistenable, sloppy noise albums called 'Chinese Democracy' then put them on bit torrent?

Yeah so this was posted about a minute ago but I adore the idea and so I'm doing it. I encourage all of you to do it too!

I mean I guess it doesn't have to be noise but noise is more fun.

Johnny C · « **Reply #1 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 14:02 »

I think doing an album might mean a couple of people will do this.

Instead I say we collaborate on a record under an assumed name.

Spinless · « **Reply #2 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 14:09 »

I'd love to be involved on this, and because my notebook is finally going to be fixed/replaced, it could happen.

Guys, what happens if people *like* it? Do we fail? Do we succeed? Succeed at failing? Fail at failing?
I don't know which would be more embarrassing.

Kai · « **Reply #3 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 14:17 »

I hadn't thought about it, but it would probably be easier if everyone collaborated on one album

Sucess is defined only if Axl Rose releases it as his own

muteKi · « **Reply #4 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 14:23 »

I've already started work on a track.
Two, actually.

Hat · « **Reply #5 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 14:31 »

Is it possible to make a noise record without knowing anything about music?

Because I am in if that is the case.

Joseph · « **Reply #6 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 14:51 »

So, how are we going to collaborate on this? I could scream over Skype at someone who was recording it or something.

Kai · « **Reply #7 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 14:52 »

Not knowing anything about music will probably help you make noise music

Also I am thinking it would probably be easier if everyone did a track but I will totally try and figure out skype and record you screaming at me

Hat · « **Reply #8 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 15:24 »

How does one go about making noise music? I have a friend who lives in a recording studio and makes noise music for kicks in his spare time but I feel that would be cheating somehow.

CamusCanDo · « **Reply #9 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 15:27 »

I have a harmonica and Jam Sessions on Nintendo DS.

All right. I've now got THREE submissions of sorts.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/gdld7k

New "song" specifically for this project

http://www.sendspace.com/file/rbspsr

A small sampling type of thing. Feel free to use as you see fit

http://www.sendspace.com/file/iod1xg

Another small thing that is a little longer that I have had around for a long time

What I used for this was a MIDI sequencer, Anvil Studio; a software MIDI synth, MIDIG; and Audacity, an audio editor.

Ok so what is a good program I can download from Oink for recording television static, and making sine waves?

Audacity has probably everything you need to create noise and a simple sine wave or two.

Code: [Select]

Posted under the assumed name "Unfortunates," which I use for any noise recording I do.

It's titled after a confirmed track on the G'n'R record.

muteKi · « **Reply #16 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 20:05 »

That's far too awesome for this project. We need something shittier.

carrotosaurus · « **Reply #17 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 20:09 »

I already have a full length noise album. I will post a link when it's uploaded (tomorrow)

Hat · « **Reply #18 on:** 02 Oct 2007, 22:21 »

Guys, Audacity is so much fun

So far I have about ten seconds that sounds like a laser getting depressed and killing itself.

Hat · « **Reply #19 on:** 03 Oct 2007, 01:36 »

Apologies for the double post, but I finished my track. I'm really proud of it, not because its any good (It's terrible), but because I managed to turn the opening piano riff for "Good Day Sunshine" into a drone riff.

I'm taking all the strings off my guitar and plugging it into my amp, see what I can record. That'll be my contribution.

SusurrusIgnoramus · « **Reply #21 on:** 03 Oct 2007, 07:47 »

what kind of software would you use to do something like this? can i get it for free? lol

rb_lestr · « **Reply #22 on:** 03 Oct 2007, 08:10 »

I was totally in on this,
but my amp is fucked from noise experiments in the past :[

As the name sourceforge suggests, it's freeware.

Hey, I can fuck about with AudioMulch! Awsome.

muteKi · « **Reply #25 on:** 03 Oct 2007, 15:12 »

Oh, I made some more changes, incorporating a couple of the things I previously posted into this one:

This is an interesting comment. I am in as soon as I get my guitar back.

Edible · « **Reply #28 on:** 07 Oct 2007, 22:29 »

Mmm This looks like something worth contibuting too, but i also have near nill knowlage of making music, but considering what has been said, grabbing audacity now and i may have something decent in a few days...

carrotosaurus · « **Reply #29 on:** 08 Oct 2007, 10:44 »

Just insert some tones, set the frequencies, then cut it up and add some more crap.

Ocarina654 · « **Reply #30 on:** 08 Oct 2007, 19:35 »

Jumping on the bandwagon here, will have something in the next few days.

ImRonBurgundy? · « **Reply #31 on:** 08 Oct 2007, 19:53 »

I wanna play too! I'll work on it tonight, after I finish all my "real" work.

I call it "Noxious".
Thoughts, feelings?

What are we going to do for cover art?

muteKi · « **Reply #33 on:** 10 Oct 2007, 21:35 »

Crappy vector art version (read: done in PowerPoint) of this:

?

Ocarina654 · « **Reply #34 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 00:36 »

So these took very little time. Before I continued and started doing the fancy stuff (which would take more time, obviously), what does everyone think about this idea? Should the cover art be more Chinese-ish, like with Mao on it or something? Or perhaps more subtle than that, and use a stronger shade of red?
Maybe it should be more Democracy themed? Dunno what we could do there.
Perhaps it should be more random and less-produced (which, unless done in paint, would probably take more production than just doing it regular style) with an emphisis on noisyness?
We should discuss before I waste time.

Here are preliminaries:

Above is a JPEG of what I've got so far.

This is a GIF with 4 colors. I thought using low color amounts would make it not only more distinct, but fits with the idea of low-quality and noise.

OR, if someone else has a better idea, we should use it. I'm just doing this because I have the time...

Johnny C · « **Reply #35 on:** 11 Oct 2007, 00:46 »

I'll whip something up over the weekend, I think.
