Hi, I'm new to the list, but i'll add my $.02: At 12:28 PM 4/12/99 -0400, you wrote: >i'm also pretty sure noise isn't synonymous with w/ cutting edge and i >should think it is just as easy to make a reasonably generic noise record as >it is to make an average idm track. worse it require just as much skill to >make a good record out of distortion and noise as it is to create a bouncing >space synth zapping idm gem. I've tried my hand at using computer programs of all sorts of levels to create/modify sound, and i spent a lot of the time making avant-garde-sounding noise. It was pretty easy to do, and i had some cool sounds come out, pretty much on accident. Yet that's all it was, cool sounds, not songs. I've tried my ass off trying to arrange these great (IMO) sounds into anything like a cohesive whole and while it doesn't sound terrible, it doesn't sound that convincing either. So i agree with your point, as i'm stuck here with a hard drive nearly full of great noises that I can't bear to delete but haven't been able to use at all. Noise comes easy, but good arrangements of it are tough. _________________________________ Adam Roesch / xxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx Augsburg College / Minneapolis / MN / USA http://dogbert.augsburg.edu/~roesch/ The world's most complete Pork Recordings/Fila Brazillia site: http://dogbert.augsburg.edu/~roesch/pork/ "The only disease we need in our blood is love" TRICKY
