noise. i like Merzbow and Gerogerigegege but everything else i found (i honestly haven't looked very hard) just sounded like people messing around with sound effects rather than fully realized noise compositions.

You might enjoy Glenn Branca- an influential No Wave composer who was one of the first to show the real artistic value in noise. Unfortunately good quality recordings of his work are fairly hard to come by, but to get an idea of what he's like, here's a couple of youtubes:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqHz7cUw4Ls&feature=related - Solo performance in 1978
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2fVUFJf4oE&feature=related - Lesson No.1 for Electric Guitar

In fact, the No Wave scene in general seems like it would be a good place to look for noise, as it was all about making atonal, chordless monstrosities

Teenage Jesus & The Jerks- "Orphans"
Teenage Jesus & The Jerks- "Race Mixing"
Sonic Youth- "I Wanna Be Your Dog"
Theoretical Girls- "Computer Dating"
Mars- "Helen Forsyth"

And for older stuff, definatly check out Lou Reeds "Metal Machine Music" and some early Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band stuff. Don't listen to your dad- They're great!

if you're into the no wave stuff there's a band with your name all over it from manchester called Kong

What's a good place to start with The Gerogerigegege?


You might have heard of Tokyo Anal Dynamite, which is probably their most well known album, but it's really just them being silly in some venue doing "covers" of songs. I'd only check it out if you were super curious, there are probably snippets of it on youtube. Start with Singles 1985-1993, Saturdaynight Big Cock Salaryman, or 45 RPM Performance.
