Anyone here into Noise?
applecart:
There is a merzbow/empire studio colaboration, but isn't that hot in all truth. But anyway, here are some noise/avant suggestions. Most of the really good harsh noise acts have been addressed, and I'd say if you're going to rock the Merzbow thing, try anything prior to 1994 first. Form the late 70's to early 90's, Akita dealt only in analogue noise (tape loops and unprocessed distortion). In the mid 90's, ol Merz bought himself a powerbook and hasn't really looked back. It's awesome, but not AS AWESOME. Also, try Air Conditioning, they be good and way harsh. On the other hand, if you want a really wonderful drone project, try Keith Fullerton Whitman, you can barely do better. Someone mentioned D Yellow Swans and they rip it up all night long, so word to that. Someone esle mentioned Skullflower and WORD TO THAT. Also try Sunroof!, same lead dude, different incarnation, outstanding. Also...Greg Davis...Christain Marclay (avant turntables...oh shit)...Otomo Yoshihide...Alvin Lucier...The Hafler Trio... Yeah, that should get you well and started. ALSO! Listen to Staring at the Sun on WVFS in Tallahassee. I host this noise/avant show from 12AM to 2AM on Monday mornings (Sunday nights). We simulcast on wvfs.fsu.edu, so everyone can listen. And that is the word up on that front.

the first thing i thought of, personally, was my bloody valentine's loveless.
My Aim Is True:
someone mentioned John Zorn's Naked City, which I do like. Highly reccomended.
Also, look up Lou Reed's album "Metal Machine Music" which is basically the first noise album ever.
I might go see Wolf Eyes in the fall.

--- Quote from: zekterellium ---gah! i'm sorry, dude. yeah, that's a cracking album. funnily enough, i'm listening to dillinger escape plan right now, who mike patton fronted for a very brief stint. that guys gotten everywhere. has anyone heard naked city? he helped out on that, too. fucking insane.
also, i know merzbow did maldoror. merzbow also did this amazing thing with alec empire that i have, but it's all live and i do not know if it was ever a studio project. you'd think so, but i haven't been able to find it anywhere.
also, has anyone mentioned sonic youth yet?

Too bad Dillinger Escape Plan sucks now. You have to get Naked City man. It's excellent material. Anything with John Zorn is usually pretty good.
zekterellium:
ohhhhh, i already mentioned naked city somewhere else in this thread. awesome. and i wouldn't say dep sucked, but it's horses for courses.
