As someone who is somewhat “mentally deranged” I do like this music because it makes me feel shitty but in a calming way which oddly helps me kinda stay focussed on the music instead of everything else. The music often lashes out in similar way to my own psychotic intrusive thoughts and I feel at home within it. I must also add that I think what you do with this channel is fantastic man
Oddly enough same
Same
As someone with OCD, ADHD and depression… yeah, pretty much.
Anymore labels to identify yourself with?
@@ChadKingOfficialshut up
This channel is rad it feels like just chillin with your friend who’s also into weird music
Right? It's not like we have anyone irl to talk noise music with haha
For sure
I've wondered how to introduce people to noise.
The way I did it was by listening to a project named LEYA. They were weird and horror-ish. I realized that the music made me feel strange just like a horror soundtrack. Then I realized that I could enjoy noise music if I thought of it as a musical representation of horror. If you enjoy horror, then there's a chance you could enjoy noise.
i introduce then to powernoise/rhythmic noise first if they want to just dive into the genre for the first time without listening to music with noise stuff in it
and some powernoise/rhythmic artists i woul introduce them to would be tarmvred and terrorfakt
My favorite noise band is called 'Comforting' it's by the same guy who is in 'Sadness' a dsbm project my favorite Comforting album is 'I'm a failure '
I'll look into it, sadness is pretty good, so that's probably up there too
Can you please link one of the albums i cant find it i love Sadness and Left Alone
@@mezrenas9696 ua-cam.com/video/PNRkASBjNr0/v-deo.html that's from Damian's UA-cam channel
Just listened to some conforming because of this comment. Thank you
@@shizzashtick4011 yay
The most underrated of these types of channels. You and Sets and The CD deserve SO much more attention
Thanks a lot. Sets has some really good content I enjoyed her icebergs a lot. She's pretty new to the scene though (newer than me) so that's probably the only reason she's not at 100k at least
as a noise artist for almost 5 years now, this video is pretty interesting. i make what i want for fun and out of some strange hope that ill be known as a prominent noise artist, its unlikely but with how hard i try to be different from most artists and take inspiration from unlikely sources i would like for it to happen even somewhat
Speaking as a mashup artist and a part time noise maker (also a tad of a newbie when it comes to noise), this is an awesome vid for a music nerd such as myself. You have earned a subscription
This is a really great video. Your insights are fantastic and as someone who loves vaporware and am currently getting into noise music, this really painted a great perspective. Thank you!
Cant wait to see more videos from you dude, love your channel
Tim Hecker shoutout is such a W. Also, Alberich is a trip. Fully recommend his discog
For my money, Wolf Eyes are (were?) the kings of noise. I'm not really sure what subgenre they would fit in, but their discography is pretty diverse. Aaron Dilloway, from WE, has his own stuff which is great but sometimes more like "tape music". Wolf Eyes just hits the perfect balance between actual free jazz, harsh electronic and synthesizer stuff, heavy use of effects, and the sort of horrific anguish Aaron brings to it.
Thank you for yet another great video
"For people trying to get into noise music Pulse Demon is a horrible starting point, because people will hear it without having acquired the taste"
I acquired that taste the second time I heard it. First time I heard it I tried to power through it but I knew I couldn't say I liked it, second time I heard it I loved it. And that's no flex by the way I'm unlucky I'm not normal like you people
What do you like about it? I listened to it once but I couldn't get it, there was no sort of pattern to it.
@@suhailali7497honestly maybe the original commenter appreciates the experientation. At the end of the day it's certainly an experiment compared to other works of music. You could play it for several occasions. There's no one way to listen to it. It's certainly an experience, and if you prefer a pattern to the music then that's completely understandable.
I should note I'm commenting all this while not having listened to the album, but heard much similar works.
Experimentation.*
@@stinkylittlemazzystarfan I guess it's just not for me, I will stick with Power Electronics and Death Industrial. I'm still interested in Merzbow, maybe I can find some releases with more structure.
Love the use of Yume Nikki/Silent Hill BGM.
Good game.
Also, Darkest Future, Tim Hecker and Uboa are my favorites.
Ps. Wouldn't liberated from the world be considered "broken transmission" and not "vapornoise"?
for me back in my teen years i got so tired of most music i started to mix things together and making my own versions. i had no idea other people were doing things like this. i love making my own weird music to this day and have sort of perfected my own style of noise.
When it comes to Atomizer, "Bad Houses" and the immortal banger "Kerosene" were always my favourites. Good on you for breaking the tyranny of people who prefer Songs About Fucking. :P
As for why Ramleh's Hole in the Heart is considered, loosely, a power electronics record, you have to remember that Ramleh started out as a power electronics band explicitly inspired by early Whitehouse and, when it was released in 1985, Hole in the Heart was viewed as a product of that scene and in keeping with a greater trend of noisy industrial acts exploring more ambient territory, with some (Lustmord, Nocturnal Emissions) transitioning entirely into what would become known as dark ambient while others (particularly Brighter Death Now) maintained the heaviness and screamed vocals of power electronics while incorporating more ambient elements and an overall desolate sound, which came to be known as death industrial. But in the mid-'80s, the term "death industrial" didn't exist, and Ramleh made fairly noisy, morbid music with screaming and came out of the power electronics scene, so they were thought of as either that or just industrial in a more nebulous sense. Hope that makes sense.
Incidentally, on the subject of the intersection of more ambient styles and noise, I would argue that vapornoise as a phenomenon makes way more sense than it would initially seem when you take into account how a shocking amount of Throbbing Gristle's work was explicitly riffing on or paying homage to stuff like '50s lounge music and ABBA. Their album 20 Jazz Funk Greats in particular nails the same uneasy, "post-ironic," fever-dream vibe that you get from a lot of early vaporwave, down to the feeling that some of the music has been slowed down and degraded in a way you can't put your finger on.
(I've been making noise in some form since I was in my early teens, so over a decade and a half at this point, initially inspired mainly by Nurse With Wound but recently more by power electronics and other harsher stuff. Took a long break to make something approximating "normal music" in the middle, but getting back into strictly noisy territory has been exhilarating, and it's always nice to see videos on the subject of my longstanding obsession. :3)
excellent video thank you for this
Subbed ! Good content
I HAVE READ BOOKS AND MANY ARTICLES ABOUT THIS, AND AS A GUITARIST, LISTENING TO MERZBOW FOR THE FIRST TIME WAS A LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE.THE THING IS THAT IT IS NOT MUSIC.HOWEVER IT IS LIBERATING😀
very great video!
I am fascinated by all music, in part (selfishly), because I want it to help me understand and see how far metal can be pushed, can be tinkered with, can be heard and understood. But ill devour anything.
it makes me so happy to see Nahvalr get mentioned. Dan and Tim are some of my favorite musicians of all time.
really insightful video! noise is a really fascinating genre i still cant get into fully, straight up noise is still too much for me, though i love noise incorporated into other genres
btw gnaw their tongues and black noise in general>>>>>>>>
edit: i do enjoy a lot of drone music, i feel like its a bit similar in some ways, like for example i love daughter of darkness by natural snow buildings and that can get pretty harsh sounding at points
Edit 2: listening to that "disciples..." metal album and im enjoying it a lot! Thanks!!
(Also check out murmuure s/t and catastrophic anonymous by vmo, both mostly metal though)
Edit 3 a couple of months later, i love noise music now, hybrid noisebloom is one of my favourite albums ever now
Good review of Noise Music !
great video!
What interests me about noise music is the contrasting approach towards the musical experience
Music in itself is a transcending, emotional experience, it can trigger an uplifting joyfulness, a pondering sorrow or even a aggressive energy, to name a few.
Noise music has no catchy hooks, no melody, no chorus, it's sound at it's most raw and harsh form, nothing to dance to or sing along, you just sit right there and listen to the chaos.
Ay thanks for name-dropping big black
Thank you for admiting pulse demon is not as great as people say it is
I dabble in power electronics records, but it's a MINEFIELD of a genre.
2 really good black noise bands are Entsetzlich and Sewer my profile pic is actually from Sewers album Miasma
I've watched this video a bunch and still find the comparison of Noise and Milk super funny
is your channel name a reference to Have A Nice Life?
Yes James Leyland Kirby aka The Caretaker was also part of V/Vm -- see/hear V/Vm Helps Aphex Twin CD for really noisy stuff
I subscribed. Can you please give me a list on noise music artists that have vocals in their tracks. Please include the "offensive ones as well". thanks
MASONNA the goat of vokills
Do a video on Wolf Eyes, Who, should have been included here.
You have the coolest taste in music and I LOVE your definition of music
How is that last noise black metal project spelt? I can’t find it
I'm one year late so maybe you found it but it's Nahvalr
I hated Ananga-Ranga off Venereology but after it, all of Merzbow has clicked for me. MerzBuddha is my favorite so far coming from a background of drone metal but I also loved Door Open at 8am.
Background song at 22:15?
Pretty sure I heard Resident Evil Save Room music in this video lol
music at 9:55?
One of the most underrated videos I’ve came over… ever
Fucking instantaneous
Apologies for the language.. that was a great bit if muscle response on my end though, beep, "the e" and I'm here
So glad you've opened with Luigi :) there was such an amazing bunch of futuristic musical pioneers in that era... Fascinating stuff
@@BehappyBhairava don't worry about the languge, i swear all the fucking time. I hope you enjoy it.
ENDGAMES IS A PERFECT START BUT HE'S MORE CHOPPED AND SCREWED...
I gotta admit, Merzbow's 1930 is my personal favorite.
People tend to forget that vaporwave (oddly) came out of the harsh noise community (I.E. eccojams).
@@Chatetrisyup.
Delicious - }≈╗
Again I won't fill out the comments but happy to see bird seed in the list there.. and the nahvalr release... Great stuff, such a soft spot for whitehouse though.. (the genocide organ rec is pretty awesome too... And Tim heckers - virgin's will always be on display wherever I live... It's just beautiful, unfortunately.. to this day, I dont like merzbow... The only track i really like is "in coming to the garden, no sound, no memory"
And the only album I like by him is "mechanisation takes command"
Anyway, shutting up now
Give waves crashing piano chords a little go.. it's Sean beards noise project probably defunct now.. but that is kinda.. peak power electronics, hope I get aid's has very raw life performances.. two microphones, an amp.. that's the set up, no pedals.. just feedback and an intimately damaged rant from a truly fitting person.. maybe more along the lines of performance art but I live the guy and the actual release of his is great... Quite obscure so maybe you'll like it..
I used to trawl through the bullart. UA-cam channel and unartigNYC.. they both have a great repository of somewhat obscure noise performances...
Final shout from me is to recommend alzhagailzeguh and swallowing bile, that boys put out a massive body of work
Two more mandatory loves =
(Koufar - purity of the cedars)
(Herukrat - I bear witness)
And ofcourse it's controversial... This is why white house is called whitehouse, after Mary whitehouse.. it used to be a giant middle finger to the censor's...
@@BehappyBhairava yeah and I aprreciate that, I think censorship is bull.
@@BehappyBhairava Ahlzagailzehguh is so fucking good.
a another good vapornoise album would be complete moron by (´･ω･`) it a good example of flipping the vapor aesthetic on it head
milk is pretty good I agree
Nah. What I think is that it’s exactly the contrary. It’s the worldwide majority who shares common values, conventions and norms within mainstream culture that is the worse of all. Their hypocrisy, or passiveness, or apathy for social injustice and inequality, or support of well known and established social and political structures -that all know promote for example unequal social conditions and many more negative and enslaving ways of thinking and living, can only prove that the place that must be questioned and undermined in a critical sense in the place of the majorities. Their silent consent sickens anyone with just a little of sensitivity to the depths and complexities of the human condition. By this, I’m not supporting those minorities that with the majorities support for example racism, just with different ways (one silently and behind the curtain, the other one overtly). I’m just saying that its a complex subject and that there’s a lot to be questioned MOSLTY in mainstream culture, and not the contrary. If political practices such as the ones executed by USA and Israel against children and civilians in Palestine for example and many many other clear examples of stupid power dynamics grounded on mechanisms of control are not enough to understand what I’m saying, then someone has a real deep problem, and it’s not me for sure.
:)
4:11 i think a better analogy would be drinking milk all your life and then someone giving you a carolina reaper to eat, Pulse Demon is something most people wouldnt willingly put themselves through for more than 5 seconds
Have you had pineapples and milk?
@@theeternalworm9437 together no, separate yeah
@@truantakuma6234 you should try it if you eat them together it makes the milk taste spoiled. It's some chemistry stuff or something. Though I guess it's not a good analogy if I have to explain it.
@@theeternalworm9437 i dont think its a good analogy because it just doesnt really fit ya know, its by mixing noise and normal music that most normal people will be introduced to noise stuff, the biggest gateways are probably more experimental electronic stuff, metal and subsequently black metal (as it was for me) etc, there are people that cant stand merzbow but would gladly listen to Daughters and Swans which have noise elements. i used the milk and pepper analogy because people are normally used to pop, bland basic and safe (milk) and noise is the complete opposite, often being very harsh and violent and unwelcoming (like the pepper)
That's true
I love the sound of power electronics but hate how it's used to promote evil ideas. One of the main reason I choose to make my own harsh noise/power electronics.
Noise music like Naked City, Bong Water , Xenakis, Berio, John Cage radio music...im old school
Google say jt productions "She dances in the Wind "
or " Zappa Beefheart"
my compositions
FREEING FROM SCALES AND CHORDS FEELS GOOD.SPECIALLY NOWADAYS BECAUSE A LOT OF MODERN MUSIC SUCKS.🤔
You’ve heard of power electronics with hateful agendas, now get ready for power electronics with revolutionary agendas. I’m working on combining protesting (for human rights and for Palestine) with power electronics.
Out of curiosity, who are the artists who you deem to be too political/right wing?
