"The xe2x80x98noisexe2x80x99 in this case is not just a function of hearing, actual loss of data and coherence occurs in the signal." i.e. not just a function of volume. The point is to distort the waveform randomly, over driving an amplifier is one way. Thus playing a piece of HNW at low...

i'd just like to preface this by saying that, today, i received a hardcopy of the book JLIAT so graciously sent. (and, truly, sir, thank you. very much appreciated.) it is very interesting to say the least. and goes some way to supporting this- loudness is an element, distortion is more significant....

PE bands used [...] child porn, Nazismxe2x80xa6 you've mentioned these a few times but i think if you were to scratch deeper than the surface of pe you would find that these elements are not widely represented across the board. sure, there, no question. among any number of potential provocations, p...

i read that through a couple times. i still can't figure out if we are in agreement or disagreement. or (more probably) just making noise. brief digression. i'll say- i like the elegance of the conventional definitions, across continents and cultures, because these would predate even the idea of a t...

so, harsh noise, or noise, or hnw or whatever you prefer. clipped sounds. how loud do you like em? always maxed out, at ear-destroying levels? no different from how you ingest other sorts of sonics? and further, regardless of preference, how have you generally received it? for instance at live venue...

this post is going to run backward and forward in a bit of a slipshod fashion over territory that has already been partially covered but hopefully to offer some perspective while unironically owning up to some prior slipshoddedness on my part. i think i mucked things up by rambling on about potentia...

i had to censor myself from apologizing for the emphasis on the harsh part of the hnw. that emphasis was after all the whole premise of the topic here. i do concede i tend to suffer from an affliction of call it over-generalisis so you'll have to pardon me but from where i sit pretty much all noise ...

in the case of noise any information cannot be within the noise itself. no argument, and i'm beginning to suspect there was no argument to start with. just different preferences for how the harsh nw may be framed. for instance, exclusively as a time-bound sound event that is bound to cause damage a...

Uppity about your project or just in general? About the project, that someone had the audacity to not be super-dee-duper-serious. Wish I still had the tracks, it was fairly funny. My favourite line was "The dew makes the grass look lovely." Yeah the whole noise is serious business seems t...
