And we mustn't forget the king of the noisemakers: Arnold Schoenberg (creator of the 12-tone style of composition and leader of the Second Viennese School of Music):

Just go listen to Xenakis:



Honestly, I actually found this listenable at least when the rhythms started pounding away. It's like Varese on steroids. Cool

"Imtriprovisation.

Ashtray Navigations is the main project of Phil Todd, who makes noisy psychedelic improvisation that has strong krautrock connotations to it.

Those Are Pearls That Were His Eyes is the umpteenth release by AN, and is in keeping with their style of long drawn psych wonderings. This album consists of one nearly fifty minute "song" consisting of nothing but oure trippyness. It starts out with a Nurse With Wound influence, with what could easily random pots, pans, spoons, and other assorted kitchenware, being banged around at random, set against an ambient backdrop of a recording of birds and light and airy synth dronings. As the song progresses, the kitchenware goes away, and gets replaced by some guitar dronings and scratches, with the ever constant airy synths. This rather noisy section then suddenly transitions into some lone, floating type guitar playing.

This album is not for the casual Prog fan, but for fans of the noisy side of Psych and Kraut, this album is a treat."

 
 
Happy Trips!Thumbs Up
HA!  Great to see AshNav on here. Why though are they listed as a US band? They're Leeds-based.  I've known Phil since 1995, and the first ever Ash Nav gig was a duo of him and me. 
 
Meanwhile, any Smell and Quim fans here?
 
Cool. Thats awesome! I'd love to see Ashtray live.Thumbs Up
 
 
Also yes, I love Smell & Quim. Such a f**ked up noise band, like they all should be.

Well if their photos of them playing are anything to go by, this should something definantly worth checking out.

no, it's Atomsmasher, there is a mistake in the title. I have a hard copy of the album. Phantomsmasher is the follow-up to James Plotkin's project Atomsmasher.
 
Ah, okay.

I've got nothing better to do on a friday night. So I'll post another favorite noise maker of mine. Let me introduce you to Masahiko Ohno, better known as Solmania, who has garnered a cult status in the japanoise scene, with his guitar based noise freakouts, putting to shame the noise-y guitar freakouts of Fred Frith and Arto Lindsay.
