 | im not talking about oval or fennesz or something, the glitchy stuff with melodic elements
 
 just pure, hardcore noise - merzbow
 
 dont you think its pretty easy to make? i guess even merzbow
 himself doesnt have his own complete discography

 The truth is that you can find beauty in anything, and depth
 if you inspect way too deeply..

 | Most pure noise (and like you say, by that I mean Merzbow type stuff, rather than noisy breakbeat like V.Snares or
 Melodic glitch like Oval) is bunk. Easy to make, not nice to
 listen to. I made a track named "5 Minute Noise" that I made
 in under 5 minutes, just to prove a point. It's rubbish, but
 then, so is most commercial noise.

 trash can lids and it's allcompressed and mixed at 0db and
 stupid people are pretending to hear all kinds of subtleties
 in it.

 | I'm joking but take this track and one noise track from an artist. Who can see the difference ? Ok it's not as harsh as
 Merzbow or Masonna but i think those two guys don't spend
 more time on their tracks then you did.

 | Nevertheless i think you are right, sneakattack, beauty can be found everywhere (damned i watched American Beauty
 yesterday eveing, i hope this doesn't influence me too much)
 and i like listening to Merzbow or Masonna every now and
 then. It is sometimes relaxing (but in fact i'm often tense
 during the whole album). It can also be helpful to listen to
 harsh stuff when you are angry or feel bad (depends on
 people !).

 | it's funny to think that Merzbow is a pretty "successful" artist, he got signed to lots of labels and you can find his
 releases in record stores... whereas if anyone on this board
 sends a noise track of the likes to a label, i guess there
 will be 99% chances it will be rejected...
 he was probably lucky or something.
 
 it's a bit like some contemporary artists doing very easy
 works, some action painting or monochromes... (i'm not
 saying it's so easy to make a perfect monochrome, i've heard
 it's a lot more difficult than it seems to make the surface
 really homogenous - and i guess action painting requires
 talent too, and probably making noise is easier than action
 painting or monochrome paintings but well)
 
 anyway i like Merzbow. (i don't listen to it that often,
 also because it is probably ear-damaging - my ears are
 ringing at the end of the album)
 i also like the sound of trains arriving in stations,
 especially when it's very loud.

 | Merzbow fills my headphones with thick walls of sound. I will probably come to the point I won't care but I would
 like it if more musicians were influenced by it and made
 extreme dense musical structures. It's more like a sign
 where music could go.

 | yes i like when musical structure are dense sometimes ; squarepusher has done it on steinbolt for instance and
 that's pretty awesome ; notmyname : hecker and afx don't
 really do noise as Merzbow, that's no wonder if you find
 their stuff interesting/mindblowing/fascinating cause they
 are really good, but that can't be compared with real noise
 stuff

 | What I'm saying is that structurally it is simple/repetitive or incoherent but each part is like an oversaturation of
 notes and dynamics. If someone kept the harshness and spent
 time to create a interesting structure/progression I would
 be thrilled.

 | yes it would be better if they spend more time on track structures (tout à fait d'accord avec toi, mais on pourrait
 être plus bruitiste encore et garder des constructions Ã

 | i haven't heard any Hecker yet, but i didn't like what i've heard from Smojphace (sound samples) at all... (à mon avis,
 même si je n'y connais rien ça doit être possible d'avoir
 plus de formes "variées" de noise-music, autres que comme
 Merzbow et comme Smojphace... d'ailleurs Merzbow a fait des
 trucs plus variés, Music For Bondage Performance par
 exemple, et aussi un peu A Taste Of... et Tamago)

 | notmyname: i think that afx & hecker transform and sublimate the
 noisy thing, that they make things advance
 
 Combo:
 i agree, but we could be more noisy still and keep
 structures like afx or hecker, well i think that's
 possible
 
 uzim:
 imo, even if i don't know shit about it it must be
 possible to get more "varied" forms of noise-music, other
 than like merzbow and like smojphace... by the way merzbow
 has done some more varied stuff, like Music For Bondage
 Performance and, to a lesser extent, A Taste Of.. and
 Tamago

 | i only like the stuff if you can tell they put a bit of time into it to make it "beyond" noise.. a lot of music has an
 element of harshness or a bit of ear-scathing to it.. but it
 just really depends on how much the artist wants to embrace
 the sort of callousness to express themselves
 effectively/appropriately.. i do believe there are certain
 emotions/sates of mind that are best, or at least most
 easily, expressed through means of brutal, noisy chaos, but
 usually needing some other stuff.. unless you are a
 robot or something, the use of some discernable
 melody/recognisable textures is really needed. i really like
 the comparison to monochrome painting.. you can make
 a painting that is only black and white, like noise music
 which is often either pure, unrelenting noise or silence
 after turning off the cd in a stark contrast.. but why paint
 only in those colours when the brain wants you to always go
 a bit further?, if you are open to the piece going where it
 wants to and not fitting into a certain type of music
 in any way. if you just let it do its own thing, in a realm
 between noise and music, then the few subtle musical
 elements can be so much more striking, like the inclusion of
 traces of blood-red or neon green on an otherwise bleak
 monochrome canvas.

 | i only listened to one noize release and that was like 2 years ago.
 as far as i can remember it sounded pretty wild,but i don't
 see it that much creative or anything.
 i mean every release or artist is an inventor in some
 way,but noize is to me like a cheap gettaway from production
 skills.

 | there's noise and there's noise music, that's the difference I guess, anyone can make noise but not anyone can make noise
 music

 | heh,that's true...every kind of music is not easy to make! i know that i suck in doing really minimal stuff cos i'm
 used to make complex beatz and scapes.
 
 noize music: take an simple brown / white / pink
 noize,modulate it as hell and put fx over it so it sounds
 even more sonic.
 i think the best part of noize is tweaking...heh, u can
 really get to know ur gear that way.

 | I like some of it when I'm in a particular mood... usually angry or frustrated. Or when I want to ''clear the
 basement''. But I generally think noise ''music'' is a load
 of horseshit, with brief moments of truly inspired sounds.
 But different strokes for different folks.
