NOISEXTRA - The noise podcast.

In the second part of our talk with John Duncan, we get into his time in Amsterdam up to his current work. Greh and John reminisce about the “Voice Contact” performance that Greh participated in. In addition, John talks about ideas and process behind “The Crackling,” “Nazca Tranmissions,” and much more. We can’t thank John enough for taking time to let us in on his history and art.

In the first of two episodes, John Duncan sat down with us for a riveting conversation about his early days in Los Angeles to his mid-80s period living in Japan. We discuss multiple events and works staged in both locations, from Scare to Radio Code to his work in pornography and much more. Next week’s episode will focus on his time in Amsterdam and Italy to his current work. Another mandatory history lesson is now in session.

Sean Ragon (Cult of Youth) was the perfect person to join us to uncover the classic Metgumbnerbone “Ligeliahorn” LP on A-Mission Records from 1983. A truly mysterious project, Metgumbnerbone creates their own world and we are all more than happy to walk around the industrial ruins and abandoned mills where the recordings were made. This album is a staple for post-industrial and is cloaked in a fantastic mythology ripe for discovery. The new Cult of Youth double LP “With Open Arms” is coming out this fall on Hospital Productions. For the ExtraNoisextra on the patreon we discuss Sean’s tape and zine archival techniques.

Jim O’Rourke takes a journey through his deep history with us and we were absolutely thrilled. We get into 1980s Chicago, setting up shows for Merzbow and Zoviet France, the cassette culture network, working and living in Europe with John Duncan and Christoph Heemann, and so much more. Jim has more stories than most people have had days, so sit back for a first hand historical account of the underground world. For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the Patreon, we have a great talk on Jim’s history with and love of film.

The hot Satanic summer sun is burning our bodies and Archon Satani knows this feeling and creates the soundtrack with “The Righteous Way to Completion.” Releases on Cold Spring in 1997, this was the final album for the project. It’s a dark ambient staple and one that stokes Satan’s fires during the hottest of seasons. Completion is here.

It’s time another “roots of noise” episode as we went to Mitchell Brown’s (Gasp, Points of Friction) place to learn more about the world of “incredibly strange records” from the 50s and 60s. From delay drenched novelty records to recordings of earthquakes to recordings of insects to equipment test records, Mitchell is an expert in this arena. For this one, we play some examples of these records and react to them in the moment. Make sure your stereo is calibrated and dig in.

Christian Fennesz joins us today for a fantastic discussion. It’s the 25th anniversary of his first album “Hotel Paral.lel” so we take a look back at those early days, from meeting Peter Rehberg and how radical using a computer was, to his recent work and what it’s like being back in a bedroom studio. We were very grateful to get to talk to Fennesz and get a perspective from one of the stalwarts of Mego and 90s experimental computer sound.
