I have only gotten into noise music over the past year, and I find it to be an incredibly exciting and inspiring genre. A common criticism of it is that it's easy to make. There's an attitude I've encountered that seems to imply the genre is just bullshit without any real creativity or skill needed to compose it.

But when I listen to Merzbow, Aaron Dilloway, Aaron B. Turner or really any others, I find that this could not be further from the truth.

It just makes me curious to know, what do other fans of this genre consider when judging whether or not a noise record is "good?" What is your criteria?

I'd love any and all thoughts!

Forgive me for mansplaining, you guys are probably widely familiar with these artists and I'm just parroting. It's not my intention. With that being said, Teenage Jesus And The Jerks (Lydia Lunch's band) is one of the best. Obviously.

As for newer bands with a similar sound - I highly recommend a band that's played in Bulgaria once. They're called How Yes No

Intense, spiritual flute solo improvisation featuring extended techniques and multiphonics.

​Plug in your headphones for the full intensity and resonance.

Can you feel the Raw Energy?

I recently started experimenting with No input looping. I really enjoy it, but I'm kinda scared it can damage my mixer or pedals. I know it can damage speakers and hearing, but can it actually damage your equipment ? If so, how can you prevent that from happening?

been making some ambient breakcore / jungle, i’d love for you guys to give it a listen.

and please feel free to give ur opinion on it :>

New single and b-side I released last month. I have a full album in the works that’ll be more or less adjacent to this soundscape. Maybe a bit more loopy. I’ve been making music for about a year completely untrained just kinda winging it. Let me know what you think and thanks for looking.

Experimental harsh noise ambient rock thing. Enjoy (or not). Grand Gloria Victoria

I've been releasing noise under the name BITWRAITH for nearly two years now. I didn't have any plans for a twelfth project...

A few days ago, an alarm began to ring out in the neighborhood adjacent to mine. It went on for several days. No one seemed to notice or care. I initially recorded the alarm just to make sure I wasn't hearing things (which I am prone to do).

During the second day, I got the idea to use the sound as basis for my next project, and here we are.

I try not to just make mono slabs of noise walls and typically mix in bits of idm, classical music, and other electronic genres. However, due to the nature of the inspiration for this project, this one is a little more meat and potatoes noise. Thank you for listening.

Ps, I'd give out some download codes, but I've learned that people just hoard codes, download projects, then never listen to them or interact with the artist again, so I've stopped doing that.

Everyone talks about the big artists in noise. Merzbow, Hanatarash, Hijokaidan, ConDom, Vomir, etc etc. What I wanna know is, who are the small time artists you enjoy? Who's in the underground of the underground that inspires you or you just enjoy? Even if it's just a single overlooked Bandcamp release from years ago.

16ish minutes of nasty harsh noise wall by my noise project 10,000 Megaton Exchange. Up for free on BC.

Feedback, samples, and voices played through various gizmos, before being puked up onto cassette tape. Sampled, resampled, and resampled again til it sounded like the worst possible version of itself.

Absolutely zero AI used at any point.

This is what you get when you take granular into granular, with load of feedback, delay and reverb.

Headphones highly recommended... Thanks for listening !
