Not necessarily... but that was what was in my head when I started it.
But yeah, to be honest I can't say that Merzbow does much for me. I mean I enjoyed the SYR8, but the bits of his discography I've heard just seemed to hurt my ears. And I think the fact that he craps out an album-a-week makes me think that he can't be trying too hard. (I could certainly be wrong, just be honest about my thought process).
But I mean stuff like Wolf Eyes, etc. Some of it is obnoxious and ugly (I tend to hate any sort of high-pitched piercing noise). But some of it can be interesting, too. But even if it's interesting, I dnt know if I think it sounds good.
Similarly, there's free jazz. There's more free jazz records that I think are interesting than there are ones I enjoy hearing. But there's exceptions. HURRICANE FLOYD is beautiful, thought I can't say why exactly.
But there's a such think as pretty noise, too. (Pink Noise? Blue noise?) Maybe that's closer to ambient works, though? I'm not sure. Like PLAYTHROUGHS or something. I can certainly understand all that.
And I sleep by a white noise machine every night.
