just a question.. it's probably been asked before, but I
couldn't find anything... what makes a good noise track and
what makes a bad one? links/samples would also be helphful,
although this is only for my own curiousity...

i would recommend you some Wäldschengarden for your first
real noise experience. its hard to put in words, i think my
relationship with noise is more a mood thing then anything
else. it creates some vibes, inspiring thoughts and stuff
like that. also theres senseless noise like merzbow,
speedranch and jansky, but sometimes i dig that too.

oh, I've listened to noise, and I don't really like it, I'm
just wondering what makes something good and what makes it
bad...

its really about finding something you like, something you
can make sense of. basicly, get people to name a lot of
noise artists and try them out.

hmm... well, I do feel harsh stuff from time to time (some
jazzkammer occasionally), but maybe I'm just a very melodic
person...

thats definately an option too, im not too much into noise
either, i like the 'more' melodic stuff.

this is not an easy question. sometimes i wonder this, too.
I don't know where to find some noise theory if there is
any, but if there are experimental music PhDs like Alla
Zagaykevych, Massimo Magrini and others, there maybe has to
be some theoretical basis, or how did they pass their exams
without it.
[I heard several noise artists whose sound seemed to suck
(let's not reveal their names) - their music was simple
noise with not much changes in it. While good noise tracks
have some structure, and utilise not only white noise but
some drum-like pulses, maybe rhythm sometimes. Noise tracks
try to operate with mood of listeners, as for me -
surprising them, frightening, lying to them (you get
absolutely not what you expected), teasing and making angry.
They put a listener into a sonic field, where his/her body
comes into contact with intense air oscillations.]

you stated clearly what made a good or bad noise track to
you! pure white noise = bad, different noise with possible
beats = good.

you wanted to know what makes good noise good and vice versa

You can't be harbouring a set of parameters to what makes
good music/noise, just listen to some artists and find out.
What were you expecting people to answer to this question?
I'm curious.

I want to know what makes a good noise track and what makes
a bad one. I don't want track recommendation as much
as I want examples.

so elaborate on that frequency and dynamics thing...

torture garden: well, it all sounds bad to me, so of course
I'm curious as to what people enjoy about it and also to
fully understand what they enjoy, I need to understand what
they don't enjoy. I've tried noise, and it wasn't to my
liking, and I'm not trying to get into it...

Drunken Mastah be sure to check this megahit by Kotra.
(possibly you heard it already) If (you heard it and don't
like noise) {noise is not for you indeed}. Else {we'll see}
instructions: play it LOUD :)

ps. not trying to get you into it - just wanna
PRopulse this excellent track worldwide.

Interesting noise makes interesting noise. I can't really
say what makes it interesting though. I like noise that sort
of reminds me of a sound without actually being that sound.
Like a fizz or hiss that's sort of like rain or a buzz
that's either a fly or a person being electrocuted. Then
there's stuff like Hijokaiden that's just so gross that you
have to respect it. More often I just like noise that's
really just a bunch of logical noises setting an obvious
mood, Gothy stuff like Asmorod or Rasthof Dachau. I don't
really like Merzbow because often it's too random for me.
Promotion Man is the toppermost of the poppermost though.

I like patterns emerging within noise, I'm thinking about
some Merzbow tracks like 1930 & Suzumebachi No Kinbu. I'm no
noise veteran, but I would think that the only way to get
anything from it would be to keep on going back to it.

good noise people on the mego label:

hecker (pv trecks is great)
pita (get off is great, although that's on another label,
hapna)
farmers manual (some is noisey, some is just different)

the collaboration between yasunao tone and hecker
(palimpset) is crazy

noise is all about freqs and dynamics for me.

like, masonna for example...he is one of the best noise
artists i came accross because of the heavy dynamics and
frequencies which i want to hear in noise music.

k2, merzbow, gomikawa, guiltiy connector are kind of
boring!

why...just because they emitt all the wrong freqs.

so if he's got the right frequency, it's better?

..sounds like tinnitus retraining therapy...

anyway, thanks.

I've been checking samples, and though I still don't hear
anything I like, I now think I know the difference...

i dunno... i don't really agree with the idea of noise as
something non-musical at all... people often want to set it
in opposition to music when in fact it's just one aspect of
it which has manifested itself in many forms throughout
history (imo, obviously).
there are explicit melodies in a lot of noise that i enjoy,
and really i'm not so sure where one would define the
parameters between melody and non-melody so... i'm inclined
to say that there are also many beautiful not-so-explicit
melodies in a lot of noise that i enjoy.... the way various
tones are coupled, not only in terms of their relationship
to one another, but also to the surrounding sound space (how
does a sound reverberate? is it in the foreground, in the
background, etc.) is stuff that is pretty important to me. i
like noise that appeals to my sensations in more subtle
ways... it's all fine and dandy to have your head blown off
by Merzbow in Masonna... but these days, i'm much more
interested by someone like Dion Workman, or Joe Colley,
where there choices may not even be audible and yet still
very palpable. even when it's full-on noise, i find the
smaller changes at the eye of things to be generally of more
interest. noise at its best really does evoke something more
than just random sonic detritus... for me, it seems more
like larger forms, that are hopefully simultaneously
interesting for the microscopic details (ie: texture) and
the macroscopic (big, general) aspects (ie: dynamics, the
way sounds will collide with one another, the general
harmonies created through the addition of all tones and
overtones, etc, etc).

for me there is very little that seperates noise from most
ambient music, and most of my favourites reflect that
leaning, i think.
