<nettime> (un)stuctured desire for noise |
when you rewind the tape again and again to the piece of the screaming girl that shits her longues out for 20 seconds and let it play over and over and structure will be taken over by an mechanical noise. Stop and rewind while the screaming is still accuring and notice how much the sound starts to develope into an orgasm of -sqeeuzed togheter- grumbling, grunting. The space between the rewinding can be called outer limits. The silence of the no where What happened? Scared/angry/dissalutioned/Obsessed/frustrated.......... It could be an obsession just to figure out what someone feels during seconds of a lifetime. Is that curiosity? Emotions are the abillity to become. Play all tapes just for a dousand of a second and record every piece,see how much an eagles song can turn into an amazing soundscape. Play the tape and and record it while doing the same thing you did before with another song recording these two soundscapes at the same time. You can offcourse do this over and over and you here a blanket of unstructured chaotic noise moving from the left speaker to the right and back again. But playing a tape for more then 5 minutes makes you noticing certain points of compactness. Grep an opera Compact Disc and play it underneath the (now) structured music or if you want another mood some drum and bass beats. All of a sudden you can dance on the tape that was called noise. A nice result can be called the remix album from Einstuerzende neubauten. While the original shape was starting to sound real "clean" some of the remixes got back to the roots of where they came from: no rhytms, no rhyming, noise with a message. Not everything is the way it could have been. Every oppinion about a song is different, every meaning about everything is different. You can make every thought you have into a different thought. That goes for the music/chaos/noise/soundscapes as well later Robert --- # distributed via nettime-l : no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a closed moderated mailinglist for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: [email protected] and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # URL: http://www.desk.nl/~nettime/ contact: [email protected]
