forgive me.
I like the noise stuff like the end of Karenology, SYR3, Sympathy, Diamond Sea etc but i read that for Silver Sessions they just left guitars against amps and recorded the feedback for x hours.
To me that doesn't sound too good. I could just listen to my hoover or my washing machine if i wanted that sort of noise. I like stuff that is 'played' rather than just captured (beautiful plateau for insatnce) so should i bother getting Silver Sessions? Or is it simply a recording of un controlled feedback?

sonicbebs, all noise sounds uninteresting if you read about it. I can't tell you why it's the best sonic youth album. it just is. you have to listen to it.

it's also thurston's favorite sy release.

cheers, i think i will check it out.

i was astounded earlier in the year. I went to the proms one night at the albert hall. The music was pretty dull (apart from a few moments) but at the end the applause carried on for maybe 4 or 5 minutes and it sounded beautifull. It would swell and crescendo as players were brought forward for a bow and seemed to be a single instrument breathing and performing.

Maybe someone should record (secretly) an appluse piece?

stockhausen modulated the audience sounds live and used it in his gigs. kind of a feedback loop with the audience involved

i dunno but the "Different trains" record with the voices is excellence. So he can picture him process applaud from various places. But it must have been done before anyway by him or somebody else.
ask PhD Cooley, he will know (i think)

and also Kaffe Matthews
She processes live recorded static sounds of the room she's performing in/at + any noise made by anyone in the audience at the time and processes it all live. A simple cough can become an Autechre-like beat if you're good at live mixing/processing. She 's good at that.
She 's also recorded "weather" i.e wind, rain, nature noises and processed them all in a beautiful landscape. pretty good. try her.

Okay. Lemme rephrase.

It's Thurston's favorite SY release. In a way.

Yeah, but Thurston likes any old crap. For God's sake, he's even gone on record as liking Magik Markers.

SY recorded a piece called "Audience" that was a recording of... you guessed it: the audience at one of their shows, but it was being fed thru effects and maniuplated live.

Sort of interesting, right? I mean, the audience cheering because of the band, which is being tweaked and fed back at them. Like a snake eating its tail or whatever.
