well, it's splendid stuff, but i was thinking something a
bit more cacophonic preferably. btw, the last excepter
release was super fantastic!

this is intriguing. i also like hearing cacophony in
music...

well, i'd say the ultimate in cacophonic music would have to
be any atonal or noise music...

Hijokaiden- Tapes (my fav'rit)
Winterkalte- Drum 'n Noise (self explanatory, no? Yes?)
Sutcliffe Jugend- When Pornography is No Longer
Enough/Victimm as Beauty (murder-centric themes)
Prurient- Troubled Sleep
Roger Nichols and the Small Circle of Friends- Don't Take
Your Time (the aural equivalent of Satan, listen at your own
risk, the brown note is said to be hidden amongst the chaos)

very good :) although i like the cacophony on tracks 7 and
12 even better!

ophecks, you should definitely do something with your music
knowledge! always get tons of awesome recommendations from
you, no matter how obscure thing i ask for :)

chambre, will look for that as well!

cheers!

Cold Bleak Heat - It's Magnificent, But It Isn't War, maybe

It's free jazz, it's new and it's good.

Peter Brotzmann is a form of free jazz and I'd say Machine
Gun is as cacophonic as anything listed here. Free jazz 4
the win!

That was a failure of a sentence. Peter Brotzmann is not a
form of free jazz, he's a man.

it's pan sonic, isn't it? saw them live earlier this
year..like them a lot, any anything vainio is involved with
is usually great. don't find it all that cacophonic tho..

i didn't know Excepter at all but i just checked two sound
samples and this sounds, like, good. thanks!

...the most cacophonic stuff i know that comes to my mind
include Boredoms ("Pop Tatari" is great), Ruins (but that's
too cacophonic to my taste), Captain Beefheart
(obviously)... Mr Bungle too... but you already know them
all. ' _' (and i only really like Boredoms and Mr Bungle
from these.)

If your experience of free jazz is Peter Brotzmann then
you're bound to think it's cacophonic. These cd's are more
restrained:
Bill Dixon - Vade Mecum
Phil Minton & Roger Turner - Dada Da
Assif Tsahar, Mat Maneri & Jim Black - Jam

True, I didn't mean to imply free jazz was just noise. Even
NOISE music doesn't have to be cacaphonic.

it's possible to have noise music that isn't cacophonic, but
most of it surely is. i can't think of any non-cacophonic
noise music - can you think of an example?

cacophony is dissonance, especially loud dissonance... what
did you mean?

dissonance. but when i say noise, im thinking white
noise..eh, just not my idea of cacophonic i suppose :)
something without a form in a way..dunno..im wrong i guess.

oh, well, pure white noise isn't too cacophonic, you're
right about that... :) i thought ophecks was referring to
noise music, which is what i was talking about.

Nothing specific comes to mind, but I know there are a few
Coil and Hafler Trio tracks that would do good. I'll look
later to recommend.

Depends on how you define noise music, really, and even
cacaphony. I don't limit it to just ''Merzbow'' dissonance
and madness. I consider artists like Asmorod, November
Novelet, Dagda Mor to have really utilized noise in their
music, that's good enough for me. A different, more
structured use of noise but I wouldn't call it ambient AND I
don't want to bother labelling it specifically. I'm not a
fan of concrete genres... this is noise, this isn't...
that's pointless, I hate arguments like that. I just use
genres or labels or whatever to point the general direction.
If someone was listening to Merzbow and wanted some stuff
like it, you wouldn't have to give them something exactly
like Merzbow to please them. Not everything I listed up
there uses ''dissonance'' (although it's there).

what are you talking about? the word cacophony is not open
for interpretation. it has a definition. "noise music" is
a loose term and i didn't argue with you about it - i agree,
there's all sorts of styles and degrees.

Dissonance, dischordance, whatever, it doesn't really matter
what the strict definition of it is. I wasn't arguing what
cacophony is, disregard the arbitrary ''definition'' quip,
all I meant to get at is that there's a wide variety of
music out there that fits this bill, and that I disagree
that ''most noise music is cacophonic'' (OMG I've been
misspelling it so long). But again it depends on how you
define ''noise music'', I guess. I don't think it goes hand
in hand with cacophony at all.

well, then i should clarify that when i said noise music, i
was referring to the genre noise music (the post-industrial
stuff), which includes artists like merzbow, masonna, kk
null, etc. i'm well aware that there is music that is noisy
or contains elements of noise, but i also wouldn't refer to
that music as "noise music".

Cool. I know that's what you're referring to and that's the
first thing I think of when I think ''noise music''
actually, but I don't bother recognizing it as an official
thing or anything, so when someone says they want noise
music, I don't think ''give them Masonna''. Same thing with
cacophony, I know there's a dictionary definition, but it
means different things to different people. Whether or not
it really is cacophony or not. Know what I mean?

''i must think the other cacophony then :)''

1996: derek bailey, pat metheny, gregg bendian, paul vertico
- the sign of 4

This is almost total cacophony spanning 3 CDs. My friend is
a Methany freak and he gave me this box, makes you think.

You may also want Nurse With Wound - Thunder Perfect Mind,
first track, though this one is quite organised

klangflatemusikk.. still don't know what to translate it
as.

Threnody for the victims of hiroshima by Krzysztov Penderecki... sample if you
scroll down. I could find some more if this is what you
mean... the threnody track is mainly the example...
stockhausen and reich have done this type of music too, but
I can't ever remember names of tracks and whatever...
