Hey anything can be music that's my opinionI AM VERY SMART wrote:

since I saw Merzbow and Deathpile in the thread might as well post diff noise artists, Whitehouse probably the most accessible out of these 4 tbh lmao
tbh music isn't actually all that well defined and a lot of people still debate about what is and is not considered music, and these kinds of fringe genres are why that debate is still ongoing lol. it's an interesting debate for sure. a lot of people will say something like "music is organized noise" which is a pretty good definition but it writes off a bunch of important styles of music like free jazz and musique concrete. if you think of music more as something like "the exploration of sound with expressive intent," imo that opens up the door to a lot of very interesting and crazy stuff. music is still very much a subjective experience tho.I AM VERY SMART wrote:

Ngl I consider something as music if it intends to be one and not just ear-breaking saturated sounds for nothing. I would lean more towards the "music is organized noise" definition, but I guess anything can be music nowadays, even these kinds of sounds...xch00F wrote:

a lot of the enjoyment of noise music is predicated on texture and timbre, sometimes with the added element of "how the fuck do you make a sound like this?" it's honestly pretty hard to make noise that sounds good, at a base level you still need to know how sound and sound design work. poppy put out a noise album a few years ago named "music to scream to" and if you compare it to stuff like merzbow or government alpha, especially the stuff later in their catalogs, it's pretty blatantly amateurish and not well designed/produced.this isn't on youtube so here's the bandcamp link to one of my fav noise pieces
here's some flashcore
and if we're talking shrill sounds, I'd be doing a disservice by not posting diamanda galas lmao. she's basically a banshee and I mean that in the best and most complimentary way possible. harrowing stuff
edit: o here's another good noise album
if we're talking intent then merzbow is music because his intent is musical. you could even call his music "organized noise" to a certain extent because while it sounds like noise, he knows what he's doing and he knows how to get the sounds he wants.I AM VERY SMART wrote:

but I guess anything can be music nowadays, even these kinds of sounds...this is part of why I brought up free jazz and musique concrete, back at their inceptions most people did not consider these genres "music." electronic music is pretty young in the grand scheme of art, it basically began in the 1910s but didn't start in earnest until the 1940s. free jazz, and I suppose just jazz in general lol, was considered "not music" by a bunch of folks as well. and you can go even further back than this and find instances of the mainstream and critic calling a bunch of wild stuff "not music" because of dissonance, disharmony, lack of structure, etc etc. like I'm pretty sure even some of debussy's pieces were being called "not music" lol.
i adore this one, it is so satisfying and playfulI AM VERY SMART wrote:
this too!!! i envy these textures so much how do i make thissssPlickyPluck wrote:

it's pretty straightforward in terms of composition but the goal seems to be to make something that looks cool on an oscilloscope and they're doing it with max msp so while I wouldn't call the music itself experimental, the music paired with the visuals would beAchromalia wrote:

surely this would at least qualify a little bit?

one of my fav channels on youtube, the album this is from is pretty experimental but also incredibly approachable. unfortunately it's also his only truly good album imo. if you want more experimental and left field electronic music that's rooted in techno, check out the label it's from, raster noton
also idk how i missed this urgh,, lots more to save in playlists than i thoughtxch00F wrote:
here's something experimental and goregous, 19 minute long piece by richard chartier (very good drone artist) and gwyneth wentink (very good harpist), electronics and a triple harp
i see pulse demon, i assume a beginner to merzbow's material - it's a fine album but it's his most popular of course! if you like the completely balls-to-the-wall noise i would recommend Venereology and particularly Noise Mass from what i've heard. the entire release is like 3 minutes but i'm fond of red puck by moore as well.Patatitta wrote:
merzbow for sure is something

imo, "music" is more of a label that is *applied* to sound than something inherent to it, like bird sounds just happen to be melodic and yet we call them birdsong, there's nothing weird about that to most even if it's completely on accident. it puts the onus on the creativity of the individual human which is really cool to me.I AM VERY SMART wrote:

myself, i've been hearing a lot of music, idk how to describe it, but it relies a lot on these rapidly clipping in-and-out noises. it has a sensory aspect to it that just makes my brain feel all tingly. (flashing lights warning on the first video.)
