JLIAT Variations on Merzbow. (Free MP3s)

[xdugef]

I'm pretty sure that unlike highlander using somebody else's noise to make noise does not equal "better" or even "equal" the original noise

I can't remember which records or (be bothered to) find the thread but people on Special Interests or here somewhere IDK were pointing out a while back that some early Merzbow stuff is just a sound-collage of various early electronic/musique-concrete/tape-music records

Haha.. hey anybody can be Reypoo right?

Using previous material is hardly 'new' in the arts is it... or is producing variations on previous work. i'm particularly fond of the sex pistols my way... nice irony, more their way...

Yes well it's a bit difference to "perform" a rendition of a written composition versus pressing play on the tape deck or mp3 player or what have you but yeah these days anything goes.

Agreed, but weve had disc jockeys for quite awhile*... but these mp3s are hardly that, I doubt if any of the original sounds get through un altered by the effects chain and my manipulation. Managed to plug in the MS20 mini now via its external input, still thinking about a 0-coast though- do you own one? =- if so thoughts?

*and the korg kaoss pad (etc.) seems aimed at the DJ market. (something i'm not now familiar with - though I was at college..)

Anyway - this guy takes this sort of thing to an extreme…

"I collect numbered White Albums and currently have 2,295 copies. Every album is posted @webuywhitealbums. Let me know if you have a copy in any condition."

check out the soundcloud at the bottom of the page 100 x side one of the white album.

disc jockeys don't take credit for having created the sound though.. I don't really care to stray into trying to determine at what point a disc jockey becomes a turntablist like some people I won't name would .. lol

So your point is the source could be anyone or anything because it's so mangled so why even mention Merzbow?

It's not hard to completely destroy a source sound. Much harder to take a sounds and make it sound like some else.. like I really want to figure out how to get the audio equivalent of the deep dreams images where there are dogs all over everything but hopefully not have it sounds like a casio keyboard hammering out jingle bells.

Anyway .. I had an idea for a piece involving pop music that I may still do it but it won't be on itunes because I doubt they'd let me use the actual names of said popstars in the track titles.. lol

I had meant to get the 0-coast.. may have to think about it again

Back then very useful for rolling joints on - so i'm led to believe. A clean white surface being difficult to find in certain quarters.

Yeah that's a very popular fake/altered cover.. it's more or less banned in the group because it was being posted too many times

Speaking of playing other people's material found this soundcloud account that for some reason has a number of my tracks uploaded to it.

Well he/it does name check you, so is that good? I had someone write me about a tape release of mine, which I never made.

(I use merzbow as its a kind of Noise place holder for harsh noise, HNW would IMO be Vomir… actually its also a personal thing, I heard a track years ago where he is using a synthi AKS, it was obvious he was simply just twiddling knobs without much thought or care (IMO) - I did own one once and they are difficult to get the more subtle Moog Arp sounds at first. Until the penny dropped, he wasn't trying to make nice sounds or even music.... IMO again)

Some guy on youtube has made several videos where it's just my animation, or even Cementimental live footage!, with his lame big-beat kind of music over them, but with my original audio still there at a low volume underneath
