The Art of Noises

Luigi Russolo, a futurist artist of the very early 20th century, was perhaps the first noise artist. His 1913 manifesto, L'Arte dei Rumori, translated as The Art of Noises, stated that the industrial revolution had given modern men a greater capacity to appreciate more complex sounds. Russolo found traditional melodic music confining and envisioned noise music as its future replacement. He designed and constructed a number of noise-generating devices called Intonarumori and assembled a noise orchestra to perform with them. A performance of his Gran Concerto Futuristico (1917) was met with strong disapproval and violence from the audience, as Russolo himself had predicted. None of his intoning devices have survived, though recently some have been reconstructed and used in performances. Although Russolo's works bear little resemblance to modern noise music, his pioneering creations cannot be overlooked as an essential stage in the evolution of this genre, and many artists are now familiar with his manifesto.

At first the art of music sought purity, limpidity and sweetness of sound. Then different sounds were amalgamated, care being taken, however, to caress the ear with gentle harmonies. Today music, as it becomes continually more complicated, strives to amalgamate the most dissonant, strange and harsh sounds. In this way we come ever closer to noise-sound.
Antonio Russolo, another Italian Futurist composer and Luigi's brother, produced a recording of two works featuring the original Intonarumori. The 1921 made phonograph with works entitled Corale and Serenata, combined conventional orchestral music set against the famous noise machines and is the only surviving sound recording.
An early Dada-related work from 1916 by Marcel Duchamp also worked with noise, but in an almost silent way. His ready-made With Hidden Noise (A Bruit Secret) was a collaborative exercise that created a noise instrument that Duchamp accomplished with Walter Arensberg. What rattles inside when With Hidden Noise is shaken remains a mystery.

Hanatarash

Hanatarashi (ハナタラシ), meaning "sniveler" or "snot-nosed" in Japanese, was a noise band created by later Boredoms frontman Yamantaka Eye and featured Zeni Geva guitarist Mitsuru Tabata
The outfit was formed in Osaka, Japan in 1984 after Eye and Tabata met as stage hands at an Einstürzende Neubauten show. After the release of the first album, 
the "I" was dropped and the name became Hanatarash.
They used a variety of unusual noise-making objects,
including power tools, drills, and heavy machinery.

Hanatarash was notorious for its dangerous live shows. Some of the band's most infamous shows included Eye cutting a dead cat in half with a machete, strapping a circular saw to his back and almost cutting his leg off, and destroying part of a venue with a backhoe bulldozer by driving it through the back wall and onto the stage.




At a 1985 show in Tokyo's Superloft, the audience was required to fill out waivers due to the possibility of harm caused by the show. The show was stopped due to Eye preparing to throw a lit molotov cocktail onto the stage. The performance cost ¥600,000 (approximately $6,000 US) in repairs.


After several years of the intense live shows, Hanatarash was forbidden from performing at most venues, and were only allowed to return to live performances in the 1990s without the trademark danger.

japanese torture comedy hour

 
Japanese Torture Comedy Hour, featuring J.Randall & Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed). The full-length's seven searing blasts, including the withering sixteen-minute epic Atmospsheres, are relentless assaults of screaming electronic madness and maddening static explosions done in the tradition of the finest Japanese noise. 

 
Voltage Monster's absence of the rigid structure present in Hull's other projects allows for an altogether more dense, more suffocating exploration of white noise as an aesthetic. One of the most punishing, harsh electronics records to surface in quite some time, Voltage Monster is nothing short of devastating.

JUNEBUG.NOISE/FREQUENCY

Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit time. It is also referred to as temporal frequency. The period is the duration of one cycle in a repeating event, 
so the period is the reciprocal of the frequency. Loosely speaking, 1 year is the period of the Earth's orbit around the Sun,and the Earth's rotation on its axis has a frequency of 1 rotation per day.
Waves, such as sound waves or light waves, can be oscillations,
and therefore they may have a frequency. The frequency of an oscillating sound wave
helps determine its pitch, while the frequency of a light wave helps determine its color.

Dark Ambient Noise

Dark ambient is a subgenre of ambient music that features foreboding, ominous, or discordant overtones. Although it had its roots in the 1970s, Dark ambient emerged in the 1980s and 1990s[citation needed] with the introduction of newer, smaller, and more affordable Effects units, synthesizer and sampling technology. 

 
 Dark ambient is an unusually diverse genre, related to industrial music, noise, ethereal wave, and black metal, yet generally free from derivatives and connections to other genres or styles.
 
http://www.ambientmusicblog.com/

 History
Dark ambient evolved partially based on several of Brian Eno's early collaborations that had a distinctly dark or discordant edge, notably "An Index of Metals" (from Evening Star (1975)), a collaboration with Robert Fripp that incorporated harsh guitar feedback, the ambient pieces on the second half of David Bowie's Low (1977) and "Heroes", Fourth World, Vol. 1: Possible Musics (1980), a collaboration with Jon Hassell, and particularly the fourth installment of his ambient series, On Land (1982),which had many deeply spatial elements, often utilising field recordings to foreboding effect. An important early precursor of the genre was Tangerine Dream's early double-album Zeit, which was unlike most of their subsequent albums in abandoning any notion of rhythm or definable melody in favour of a "darkly" sinuous, occasionally disturbing sonics.

 
Ambient industrial projects like Coil, Lilith, Lustmord, Zoviet France, and Nocturnal Emissions evolved out of industrial music during the 1980s, and were some of the earliest artists to create consistently "dark" ambient music.

These artists make use of industrial principles such as noise and shock tactics, but wield these elements with more subtlety. Additionally, ambient industrial often has strong occultist tendencies, with a particular leaning toward Chaos Magick, often giving the music a ritualistic flavor.


(In fact, a sub-genre dubbed "Ritual Ambient" has evolved in recent years, exemplified by work of such groups as Herbst9 and Desiderii Marginis, amongst others.) Ambient industrial is one of several directions that post-industrial music took on after the breakup of Throbbing Gristle in 1981. The last material that TG recorded in the studio, In the Shadow of the Sun and Journey Through a Body, was ambient, and pointed in the direction that several of TG's offshoots (notably Coil and CTI) would take.


 
 Generally the music tends to evoke a feeling of solitude, melancholy, confinement, and isolation. However, while the theme in the music tends to be "dark" in nature, some artists create more organic soundscapes. Examples of such productions are those of Oöphoi, Alio Die, Mathias Grassow, Tau Ceti, and Klaus Wiese. The Symphonies of the Planets series, a collection of works by NASA and Brain/Mind Research in which planetary electromagnetic waves are captured by the Voyager unmanned space probes and converted into audible sound, can also be considered an organic manifestation of dark ambient.


 

Man is the Bastard

                   Bastard Noise

I actually had the chance to meet them in person.
I did a bastard noise grim reaper tattoo on one of them
when i was working in MASSACHUSETTS a few years back.
A fellow experimental noize artist and good friend 
 J.Randall introduced me to them. 
"Oh how i miss those days."









The Bastard Noise was founded in 1991 by Henry Barnes, W. T. Nelson and Eric Wood, initially as a side project of powerviolence band Man Is The Bastard.

Project personnel and past contributors

Project Members are Aimee Artz-vocals/electronics (Progeria), Joel Connell-drums (Man is the Bastard, P.H.C., Pillsbury Hardcore, Controlling Hand, Lux Nova Umbra Est), Danny Walker-drums (Intronaut, Murder Construct, Uphill Battle, Phobia, Jesu, Bad Acid Trip) and Eric Wood-bass & vocals (Pillsbury Hardcore, Peace Corpse, Man Is The Bastard, Pissed Happy Children, Amber Asylum, Antennacle, Giant Robot, Neanderthal, Cyclops, Power Trip, Crypt Orchid, Crossed Out).
There are a number of notable contributors, & collaborators. Among them are Masami Akita, Henry Unique sound and instrumentation
Although The Bastard Noise utilizes many instruments, the project has come to be known and recognized by the idiosyncratic sound of their purpose-crafted gear unique to the project. Electro-acoustic devices such as "the Coil", controllers such as joysticks repurposed from broken arcade games and a vast array of high and low voltage analog audio generators were invented, engineered and hand-built by Henry Barnes (who builds as Amps for Christ and Guitars For Christ) and W. T. Nelson (who builds for Trogotronic) specifically for The Bastard Noise lending to the projects' distinctive sound. Recently the project has come full circle to the roots of where it began with a return to a powerviolence/progressive repertoire and traditional instrumentation such as amplified bass guitar, keys and drums. As of September 2010 W.T. Nelson is no longer in the group.

Selected discography

The Bastard Noise project has documented its work inside the recording studio, on stage and even in the kitchen with well over 100 recordings issued. Many of these were self-released, the rest were issued by select underground (and occasionally above-ground) worldwide labels such as Alien8, Deep Six, Gravity, Ground Fault Recordings, Hear More!, Helicopter Records, Housepig, Kitty Play, MSBR Records, Relapse, Thumbprint Press, Triage and Vermiform.

JUNEBUGNOIZE/PROJECT:BOSS DD-7


BOSS DD7

LIKE TAKING CANDY FROM A BABY!!
NEW NOIZE ON SOUNDCLOUD.
http://soundcloud.com/junebugs
The Boss range from Roland has an amazing history in the compact effects pedals market. The first Boss pedal was the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, which appeared back in 1976, and since then Boss pedals have become a standard for many musicians. The first digital delay pedal from the Japanese company was the DD-2, which was launched in 1983 (I bought one of these at the time), and since then regular improvements to the digital delay range have occurred, resulting today in the release of their latest compact digital delay pedal — the Boss DD-7.
The new DD-7 improves on its predecessors and adds more features and capabilities. These include the addition of a Modulation Delay mode, Analog Delay mode, external tap-tempo pedal control, external expression control and longer delay and hold times.
The construction of the DD-7 follows the standard Boss compact pedal layout that has already proved to be a robust design for over 30 years. I have owned many Boss pedals over this time and have never had one break or fail. I don’t believe this is because I have been lucky, but more that they have great performance and reliability and are very durable. The DD-7 features five standard quarter-inch jack sockets for Inputs A (mono) and B, Outputs A (mono) and B and a Tempo/Exp input for external tap-tempo input or for control from an external expression pedal. There are four rotary controls on the top of the pedal for E Level, Fback, D Time and Mode. The Mode control selects between the following eight modes: 3200ms, 800ms, 200ms, 50ms, Hold, Modulate, Analog and Reverse. The functions of these controls vary according to how the inputs and outputs are patched (see below). With the standard configurations in mono (input A to output A), or stereo (inputs A and B to outputs A and B), the DD-7 performs as follows.

JUNEBUGNOIZE/SOUNDS OF FLIGHT

Montavillian Echo

Catalinbread Manx Loaghtan Fuzz

This is a new pedal design from Catalinbread designed to replicate the sound of a vintage Ramshead Big Muff Pedal except with greatly expanded tonal possibilities. You can really dial in an amazing variety of tones on this pedal.It also stacks extremely well and cleans up with yer main volume control.

http://www.tonefactor.com/effects-by-type/fuzz/catalinbread-manx-loaghtan-fuzz.html

Well I figure I should at least give my thoughts on this beast: I really like this fuzz, definitely a keeper for the time being! The EQ has a ton of range though I usually keep bass and treble around noon, usually I roll back the bass a bit or it gets a little too boomy. The gain range is great, on lower gain modes, chords sound nice and full without losing definition. At higher gain settings this thing rips, very thick fuzz, but a lot tighter than my Fuzz War or ECT. I will note it doesn't quite have the low end punch the ECT and FW have but it compliments their tones very well.
