Difficult packaging: the good, the bad and the stupid

This type of music tends to challenge the distinction that is made in conventional musical practices between musical and non-musical sound.

Difficult packaging: the good, the bad and the stupid

Post by NoiseWiki »

Note: Post examples from your own collection

So started moving my cd collection into my fancy cd storage cabinet and of course there's a fair number of noise releases that don't want to be neatly organized.

Exhibit A is a release that was given to me by the creator at a noise festival I played at in Lansing MI. I don't remember his name and i can barely read the handwritten sharpie label on branded cdr. I think it says Buttman?

I mean this thing checks off a number of annoying self released nuisances lol. I don't know if I ever listened to it .. I'll have to give it a spin later.

Here's the flyer from the show.. I'm not a %100 sure but I think his project was called Deep Fried Radio Static

I have an obliette fecal love split that came with raw pork I still have it somewhere with the now 13 or so year old pork.
It looked ok last time I looked at it.
No leakage.

I have one release I can't recall by who that's a cassette in a clear vhs case sealed with plaster....?

The 3 inch CD packed between two mirrors and the 3 inch in an old hard drive...both by poor little music label. ?

Maybe ill dig some stuff out and post pics.

I would like to take this chance to offer my new RUBBISH - Shock 2020 c60 as a micro tape packed in a regular tape case.
Made on demand.
Also available as a regular tape.

Not a release but Ed Mason sent me some blood loaf in the mail one summer becayse he had a job at a deli and I put it on top of my air conditioner. When I checked on it months later it looked the same. Pretty sure I threw that away eventually.

I got a Phyllomedusa CD in the mail with a dead cricket taped to the back of the digipak. Then little tiny maggots (worms?) started crawling out of the damn thingxe2x80x99s corpse and I freaked out and smushed them all while still under the tape. Not sure if I still have the CD or not.

At one of my first ever noise gigs at the legendary TJs Newport, Snork Maiden gave me a copy of their CDr which was packaged floating in a plastic bag full of water like a carnival goldfish. I had to rip the CD and burn a copy to even play it but not sure if that was due to the water or not.

One of their tapes was packaged in a sports sock full of guineapig food

I'm pretty sure it was because of the water.. the CD/CDr format isn't really all that robust.

I'll slag one of my own releases then.. I packaged a 3" CDr with a small mirror and a razor blade and the oil from the razor destroyed the CDr.
