excellent...im sure people here would have tons of questoins for him, in case you'd need questions :) im really interested in what kind of music he normally listens to, and what kind of music (appart from noise) he likes :) |

okay I hope I will remember these questions, as they were good... but otherwise I'll bump that festival's thread later on, when we're getting closer (the thread's already created - the festival's in october)... btw it's called somethink like "Merzbow in Sweden!!!" or with more !'s or something. :) |

Very cool quote I found in an e-mail [footer] (addressed to me): "There is no difference between noise and music in my work. I have no idea what you term ‘music' and ‘noise', it's different depending on each person. If noise means uncomfortable sound, then pop music is noise to me." - Masami Akita aka Merzbow |

noise doesn't mean uncomfortable sound though... |

Actually, you're wrong. from dictionary.com: noise 1. 1. Sound or a sound that is loud, unpleasant, unexpected, or undesired. 2. Sound or a sound of any kind: The only noise was the wind in the pines. There are other meanings aswell, but merzbow even said "If noise means uncomfortable sound..." :) |

i see :) yeah i put it wrong...noise isn't unpleasant sound to me - how's this? :) |
||||||||

well what merzbow meant was that what people think is "unpleasant sound" is differs between people... I mean merzbow likes (the genre) noise, but doesn't like popmusic (which he think sounds unpleasant)... |

ok! Now the report for Friday: Ash 13:30-14:30 (smallest scene) I'm not into them (only know some of their singles), but a friend's girlfriend is so me and her went to look at/listen to them. It was pretty good, and with a big crowd; so we stood way in the back. Soulfly 15:00-16:15 (biggest scene) I only saw part of their show, and I'm not really into them, but they were good. 3 doors down (second largest scene @ 18:30-19:30) I only saw the begining of their show cause I didn't want to miss Four Tet + I wanted to go back to the camp and have some more alcohol before the concert... From what I remember, they were ok. Four Tet (smallest scene @ 19:30-20:30) One of the highlights of the festival. It wasn't very melodic (according to other people who saw him) but that was a good thing I think (cause I would have heard few of the melodies before anyway). Although I'd only heard little of his music before I enjoy the set very much. I was kinda drunk (like during most concerts) and did the IDM-sign with my hands (that looks more like 'ODM', if you know what I mean) and the V-sign and waved four fingers in the air (cause it's four tet). Four Tet was very shy, he kept looking down on his laptops and never looked at the crowd. When the set was finished he almost ran out of the stage. This is the concert where I was the closest to the stage. Sahara Hotnights biggest scene @ 22:45-23:45 I didn't care much about this show. It was good, but I am not into the group really. And peaches was playing at the same time, and now that I think of it I'd rather have seen her. A friend of mine told me not to miss SH, and it was a good show, but I think I'd enjoyed peaches more. (will continiue next post) |

HIM biggest scene @ 01:00-02:15 I don't know why I went to see them. It was pretty good but I almost fell asleep a couple of times (I was tired + drunk). I did see their entire show... mono smallest scene @ 01:30-02:30 ... but I wish I hadn't missed so much of monos show! What I saw was really good, but I only caught like 10 minutes of it, sadly =/ as I wrote earlier, that's my biggest regret (forgetting about mono, falling asleep at HIM I didn't really care about). |

ok Final day (saturday:) Morrisey biggest scene @ 21:30-22:45 I didn't pay too much attention, cause I am not into his music (though it sounded good) and I was kinda down. Many journalists claimed his show was among the best (if not the best). The thing is the whole day had started shitty with me feeling really down ; it was raining and I was a hungover (of course) and I was tired. And then I met up with a classmate of mine (Xmasmonkey), but I was still feeling down... Broder Daniel biggest scene @ 00:00-01:15 ... Til I went to Broder Daniels set. Then she (Xmasmonkey) left and I met some old people who had been to the same school as I back in highschool. I had a nice talk with them, until the show started. Then things got crazy, cause we were in the front where a lot of people jumped and stood really close to eachother. But I managed to find a (young, but very nice) girl on the concert, and thus the day was saved. Anyway the show got quite bad reviews, but I thought it was ok (although not a highlight - the show itself - on the festival). Gus Gus (DJ Set) the dance-tent @ 03:30-05:30 I went to their show at around 04:40 or something. I was quite tired at the time, but they played quite good music (though for some reason they didn't beatmix everything - so they had short breaks quite ofthen, which was a bit awkward, since it was a DJ set). They did play some nice music, and looked very tough and "icelandish", but I only stayed til like 05:10 or so. Then I went back to our camp and had some breakfast and watched the sun rise while listening to chillout-music on our little portable musicmachine. Gus Gus was the last act on the festival... I will continiue with the stories (lots of stuff happened on the camp and in the festival area that's not really related to the concerts) when I get the photos my friend's gf took. |
