Here are the essentials Also of note: >The Rita - Thousands of Dead Gods >The Goslings - Grandeur of Hair >Adult Swim's NOISE comp. (pleb but listenable) >WOLD - Screech Owl >Coil - Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil >V/A - Extreme Music From Japan >V/A - World Record >Deathpile - G.R.
Noteworthy Merzbow: >Tauromachine >Venereology >Door Open at 8am >A Perfect Pain (with Genesis P-Orridge of TG) >OM Electrique (disc one of the Merzbox, listen to the rest if you're an absolute madman) >Electric Salad >Space Metallizer >Noisembryo (be sure to read up on the Merzcar) >Music for Bondage Performance (1 & 2) >Pinkream >Hole >Hybrid Noisebloom >1930 >Pulse Demon (duh) >Merzbient >Multiplication (with John Wiese of Sissy Spacek) >Batztoutai with Memorial Gadgets Amlux and Merzbeat suck but are easy to get into, other digital-era crap includes Dharma, SCSI Duck, Merzbird, etc... None of them are very good, but obviously form your own opinions of them, this is just the general consensus. All the Merzbowris collabs are good and listenable It's worth looking into the discographies of every artist mentioned, as well as >Aube >Puce Mary >Taint >Händer Som Vårdar >Whitehouse >Consumer Electronics >Vampire Belt (noise rock) >Esplendor Geométrico >Winterkälte >Toshimaru Nakamura >Ramleh >Kyioshi Mizutani >Eric Lunde >Hanatarash >Incapacitants
Sufjan Stevens made a noise song one time, it's a good example of noise without the nuance of an artist who's a noise artist by trade. A couple of the above artists aren't strictly noise (some err musique concrete or other subgenres), but they typically share fans. Don't post noise rock unless it's genuinely more noise than rock. Album/artist/label suggestions for the pasta are welcome.
Now that that's out of the way, no entry-level noise below this point.
And lastly, only plebs EXCLUSIVELY /merzbowworship/, but only contrarians NEVER /merzbowworship/ Happy noiseposting.
If anybody here makes their own noise, would you please post about your gear? Maybe a photo? I finally got a mixing board/contact mic, so any noise prod advice/forums you have would be greatly appreciated.
Also, I'd like to update the essentials, it could stand a revamp. Taking recs for anything important enough to be considered "essential".

just do your thing
I just listen to banned in d.c. on repeat
Cooper Sanders
I used to buy black metal records from Dom/Prurient. He's a great dude. That's about as much of a connection as I've ever had with noise music, aside from stumbling into a show every now and again.
Jaxon Turner
Thanks, user, I'm pretty excited to get into it. I like your setup, how long've you been doing it?
Landon Mitchell
basic as fuck opinion, but bantztotai with material gadgets has always been a great inspiration to me. Merzbow's dynamic tenacity is amazing. Aube's creative diversity is endless, I've been stumbled upon so many of his ideas, but the care he crafts them is warming. may be interesting. darkthrone's blast beats are amazing inspiration.
Blake Wood
I have memory issues, but I think 2 years now.
a tip I can give you is to always be aware of what you do and be aware of sound.
Mason Reed
Nothing wrong with Batztoutai, user, I fucking love that album.
Thanks, user. Really appreciate it.
Tyler Smith
it's just how far he took first found object incorporation tape manipulation and meaning detachments is absolutely dada! what mixer do you have? what's the mic? did you do it yourself? do you have distortion?
Jordan Thomas
Mackie Mix12FX Made the mic myself, it's a pretty simple piezo contact mic though. Don't have distortion yet, trying no-input/onkyo stuff before I delve deeper.
Angel Walker
Alright so I'm pretty into noise and I really want to make some. I have a mixer and like 5 patch cables, 3 amps, two basses, and a strat. What the fuck do I do and do I need anything else for my setup.
oh now you are talking!!! onkyo is beautiful and it's just the right thing for practicing control! try different things! I would be kind of scared of a mixer with effects, but I'm sure there's stunning sound possibilities in there.
the simple cheap kind of contact mic if the best kind of contact mic, try to practice making those. if you have even the simplest Skype microphone you can expand you possibilities a lot. with a pair of headphones connected as a input too, you can cause vicious feedback by contact and close proximity
also make a rumbler - fill a can with jingly stuff , close the contact mic in it. - rumbler (a reverb effect will make it sound like link wray
Hudson Wright
just make some noise, really freak out a little bit
Angel Thompson
thanks user
Charles Moore
Fantastic, thanks so much! I'll definitely make a rumbler, I'm really excited to get started.
Love the video too, thanks for all the help!
Evan Parker
something else I can recommend is doing field recordings with your phone and us that as an input. rushing water, traffic, kitchenware and even the human body have wide sound possibilities. you can also use radio static as an input, but manual control makes a lot more useful. boosting bass beats to insanity with whatever fx suits your mood on the local radio station brought me kind moments of joy. really experimentation is the direction!
Ryder Sullivan
Ooh yeah, I always planned to warp field recordings. My contact mic is waterproof, so that'll be really helpful.
Levi Wilson
anyone fans of audiotool?
