New to this artist i have just recieved Pulse demon from the post. I was struck by the immense screeching nature of the music. Is there melody behind the wall of noise? I'm gonna listen to it later but can't be arsed at the moment plus my mum will go crazy. I've heard pulse demon is thier best followed by 1930 is this true? |

theres allways melody, its just the people used to think that melody must be hearable as a set of nice sounds in specific order. which is weird. what autechre did with halfer trio was also a melody, harsh one, but still a melody. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i wouldn't say there's any melody in his music..well the big majority of it. he's ace to see live though so go see him when you get a chance :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yeah but ae's melodies are stunning. just wondered if merzbows were. |
||||||||
|

i have 1930 and i listen to it when i wanna express protest to something. Merzbow has made so much of stuff that there is no sence to listen to some particular album - take the first one you see and listen. I like his Game Boy produced track (on Nanoloop 1.0 compilation) a lot. I need more stuff like this to play it LOUD. |
||||||||

you just need to reconsider theory of melody in overall look. what makes harmony, whats a "noise" therm and stuff like that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
first track! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, you're right, but it still doesn't sound melodic :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a nightmare |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
have you been on a performance of Merzbow? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, and it was fantastic..i've seen other noise artists play live before, but masami was much better..he's actually composing it live..great guy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's a bit more dynamic than merzbow...but still,to each its own. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool. but a lot of noise artists improvise when playing live. If not all of them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, definitely, but they usually do it quite simple..laptop and a good piece of software and they're ready to go..merzbow was playing from two laptops and was sort of composing it with the way he was moving his mouse..he has a great sense for putting together layers so it turns out real intense.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
factory music... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you aren't joking, are you. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
joking about what part? :) i was dead serious! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okay. i had a slight feeling of irony or sarcasm somewhere between the lines. :) anyway, if merzbow performs nearby i will go. some noise musicians make their sounds not from laptops - they use simple things like hi-hats which they knock with thair fingers, while another hand controls effects so that hihat sounds like something extratterrestrial.. some pour sand, little stones near the mic, rub bells, kid toys like small xylophone, use their own breath. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
hmm i like the idea of a game boy song...know where i can find other such songs? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i only have satanstornade (merzbow+russ haswell), its great but do not have any melodies. i have also 2 cds by powerbooks for peace (feat one guy from team doyobi) its pretty hardcore & not as "quiet" as merzbow, not very good also |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is from release. all songs made on gameboy in nanoloop program. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, i've seen those kinds of shows before and loved them, but for white noise they usually use laptops only. there was a funny guy opening for merzbow when i saw him few months ago and he was using rhythm machine and keyboard programmed with dirty heavy guitar sounds..it was fun but not really impressive music wise. i'd love to see matmos live one day..they're surely one of the best live improvisation artists..they tend to use weird stuff and apperantly it always turns out great.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there is smth strange about matmos. i have 4 albums and don't like them more than "6/10". but they are said to be very cool live. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
fuck sake just listening now, and i thought graf was abstract... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehehe :) Gantz Graf is rather abstract, too. Less, of course, but... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really difficult to listen to, makes gantz graf, pen expers and cap iv sound like Pop music. However the more abstract the music is does not always make it better for me although i like it to be damn abstract. Merzbow seems good from what i've listened but not in the same league as ae's abstract shit. |
||||||||
|

|
Merzbow doesn't give me anyting on record, but it was ok to see him live. Ear-cleaning |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try the Merzbox a 50 cd album of mr.Merzbow more than 60h of clean and very difrent noises. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
d'ya have it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont believe anyone have the merzbox. its just a publicity trick! i wont believe 'till i've seen it with my own eyes! someone better send me a merzbox, so i can start believe ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i looove masonna !!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if anyone has it, please tell me. i'll have 50 cdrs when i'll be visiting your country. not a small job of copying 50 cds, maybe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Any less than 50 CDs would not have done justice to the scope and ingenuity of MERZBOW's musical manifesto |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
500$ man |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wanna get the 37cd`s of merzbox???? mail me at rzezniq@o2.pl |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeaah, i kinda know that it exists. but we cant REALLY believe it can we? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I could never really manage too enjoy noise music. But I can see the appeal. I said the same about Autechre, so it could grow on me. I can't understand what actual skill goes behind it, but I supposed that's not really relevant anyway. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have only this one... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I only really like Promotion Man because it's Merzpop. |
