How-To: Noise/Performance Art.

!@#$%! · 01.18.2007, 09:19 PM

well you could (just saying) eat a bag, yes, eat a bag! that would be a performance for which you seem quite fit. do! do! the soundtrack would be just, eh, accessory. i know you didn't ask me but i thought i'd chime in regardless.

is this like asking how to paint an abstract painting?

Performance art is about coming up with your own ideas and executing them. There are a million different ways to make noise.

kingcoffee · 01.19.2007, 02:38 AM

Just smash and grind a guitar against the ground, amp, walls etc. Noise isn't hard to make. It's just noise.

atsonicpark · 01.20.2007, 11:28 PM

Cool, I'm noise elite!

Haha..

Anyway:

Do whatever you feel is necessary. Experimentation is the key.

Sorry, but that's all I can say!

If you're having to ask how to create avant garde art, then perhaps you shouldn't be doing it in the first place. Asking how is missing the whole beauty and meaning of it.

This must be a joke?

pseudo

sudo

having a concept would be a good starting point then maybe some structure

or just stick a mic into your mouth, scream the fuck out of yourself and run the signal through 1000 effects and the result is satisfying, since voicebox is an ultimate sound source.

compulsive diarrhea, jico · 01.21.2007, 08:54 AM

get a mic, a metal plate and a distortion pedal and improvise on that:

I would say try and listen critically to a lot of the current [cough] 'experimental' [cough] 'noise' scene and notice that a great deal of them, in spite of the 'freedom' rhetoric thrown at it, are doing very similar things. Try not to do that.

atsonicpark · 01.21.2007, 09:12 AM

Most importantly: have fun.

porkmarras · 01.21.2007, 09:15 AM

Make sure that you announce gigs and records that will never happen on labels that exist only by name.If you announce that you're performing somewhere,do make sure to hand out leaflets and posters but go to do some shopping therapy with your mates instead.When you get found out simply go on a lenghty and meaningless rant about why you did it and try to be as convincing as you can even if it means giving head here and there.

Danny Himself · 01.21.2007, 01:25 PM

Metal sheeting is always fun to hit with mallets. I'd say move away fromthe electronic stuff and just find things that sound awesome when you hit them.

Danny Himself · 01.21.2007, 01:40 PM

It would be good to get some old radios from a thrift store, amp them up and just tune them to dead radio space. It sounds very cool and you could manipulate it with a wah or something, I suppose.

are guitar pedals mainly used? i have accsess to a friends overdrive pedal, amp, guitar(s) and bass...

[almost] any help is appreciated.
im looking in yr direction Golden Child, atsonicpark, sway, everyneruotic, CHOUT,tokolosh?...

AKA

I dont really need any CONceptualization help... just refrain from telling me to moan while stroking a guitar as if i were giving it a hand job... i would never and besides some dumb cunt who thinks shes so "edgy" already does that cliche.

crank amp, turn on more gain pedals at once, and then some modulation , then just wait, wack the guitar with stuff. also use slides, anything you can find around your house, like cards and pickscrape, use drumsticks and change pickup configurations. take some screws and put them on you pickups...

if you can put on a laptop thats conected to network, and put your guitar close to it, its awesome, the guitar recieves the signal. you can also do this with radios..... also get some remote controls and press the buttons....

best effects for noise are like i said a lot of dist pedals turned on at once. but also use modulation, phaser tremolo, wah....

what guitar do you have? pedals?

I go to raves!?

TV static would be a good idea as you could borrow some TVs and set them out on stage. Lee Ranaldo used to do shows like that in the mid-80s. Or so his books say..
