lyrics
I really like the drop down / build up / 'drum fill' and 4 count in to the burst of noise in this one! It makes me laugh... I hope you will notice it.
Does anyone else hear or make noise based music in this way; as if it is a band playing it?
This is what I am trying to do with most of my sounds / releases of this nature, and I impart this information in hope that it might help people who are still not totally sure / 'get' noise music to understand it a little more.
I have mentioned before about noise/glitch/weird bits being inspired by Meshuggah, Dillinger and some grind/black metal stuff, and, whether it is 'cool' or not, I like my noise to have some sort of structure or form to it, rather than it being aimless.
Every track needs to DO something, build up to something, have some sort of resolve or purpose.
Does anyone else make music that does / to make themselves laugh?
I don't mean because it's not serious, or because it is actually comedy, but, to try and find sounds that are so stimulating to the senses, or that feel really different (just in context of your own music, not necessarily to the rest of the world) that they are almost a shock when you find / make / structure them, and one of the main facets of comedy and comedy timing is shock and surprise.
If I can find something in the sounds that makes me laugh or smile or verbally exclaim something when they happen, then it will always stay in the finished track.
I like to find and plant ridiculous and unexpected sounds and twists in there, mostly for my own amusement and entertainment.
Die Safe sent me some great, crunchy, twiddly sounds in this one, so they were a lot of fun to work with.
