Noise music

Noise (English for, noise ',' crash ',' noise ' ) refers to a music ( sub) genre, largely to completely replace the classic elements of music as pure sound, or the sound produced by noise. This is accompanied by the waiver goes on structures such as melodies or, depending on the artist, more or less on rhythm.

Musical containment

In spite of the term noise Noise is not related directly with the classical music sound like the brutism or musique concrète, the respective starting point real sounds such as railways, were motor noise that arranges and were often combined with classical instruments. Especially in brutism the sounds were also less whether a musical quality elected, but had a programmatic significance, since they referred to progress symbols such as locomotives, automobiles, machines and the like.

Noise on the other hand usually works with abstract sound that referenced only rarely. Almost all noise musicians is the desire inherent in bringing the instruments or sound event used in its typical sound to disappear ( eg Whitehouse used initially defective or extremely overdriven synthesizer). While many bands and musicians began yet with a classic rock band instruments that they used were abstracted, but down in the early 80's synthesizers and in the 90s to Computer. The decisive factor was not only alone a greater freedom in the generation of noise, but also the ability to produce extremely compact and dense sounds downright Walls of Sound ( German: , walls of sound '); the noise generated should " not only the ear, but the entire body " attack and traumatize the listener. In addition, there is a flow of noise musicians who reject it because of the DIY ethos, to use modern devices, such as Daniel Menche or Maeror Tri.

Noise therefore intended less a classic musikkompositorisches pattern in his system, but rather a kind of sound sculpture. Musical terminology typically fail completely in the description, there are often as far as completely new terms have been coined as Soundscape, layers, and the like.

History

The inspiration for the genre applies, inter alia, the album Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed from the year 1975. Additional developments took place in the late 1970s. Center in this phase was mainly England, where a group of independent acts quickly formed by the pulses of the early Industrial that are still traded as Industrial and also the aesthetics of classical Industrial à la Throbbing Gristle or SPK announced, but already musically completely different way was that she left with the concept of Power Electronics Industrial. Very good this was especially the scene at the London label Come Organisation with style-defining bands like Come, Whitehouse, Nurse With Wound, the Italian Maurizio Bianchi (aka Sacher- Pelz, MB, Leibstandarte SS MB) or Sutcliffe Youth ( that overlapped staffed partly ).

The second important center of the noise was Japan. The first bands were founded in 1979, they created more against a background of free jazz, free improvisation and Krautrock. Therefore, the noise collagen are very tiefschichtig, in contrast to the monotone Power Electronics. The Japanese Noise is also often referred to as " Japanoise ". Most assets came from the so-called Kansaiszene to Osaka and Kyoto ( Hijokaidan, Auschwitz ), but in Tokyo there was a scene ( Merzbow, The Stalin ). Other important early Japanoise bands were Hanatarash, Masonna, KK Zero and Gerogerigegege. Most Noise recordings were distributed by small mail-order publishers and were often creatively designed and expensive. So many often uncatalogued photographs that were distributed in small editions emerged. Especially Merzbow published probably about 500 albums on this path. Example can be cited here in 1930 his album. Published in 2001 Merzbow the Merzbox with 50 albums. The Tellus Audio Cassette Magazine from New York was in the 80s an important document of the noise movement.

But in other countries, noise musician were active early, such as Boyd Rice (aka NON), The Haters, coup de grâce and SLOGUN from the United States; the Mauthausen Orchestra from Italy, and the temporary P16.D4 Asmus Tietchens and in Germany.

In the early 1990s, the noise seemed loud Will I and Rose ( Cthulhu Records, harvest), " to appear permanently on the spot " by Nurse With Wound and some other projects, " both musically and creatively [ is ] really just reproduced and been copied. "
