Second Square to None blog Noise Series (1 Viewer)

[Square One]

hello, Second Square to None is a Dublin-based event organizing / music promoting collective, and currently we're doing a weekly mp3 series on our blog http://www.secondsquaretonone.com, focusing on different aspects / approaches to what can very loosely be described as "noise" music being made in Ireland at the moment. Every Wednesday an exclusive MP3 and interview of a different artist is posted for your (dis)pleasure!

So far the submissions range from synth drones to musique concrete to turntable manipulation to feedback jams:

very cool! didn't know this existed

i think more people would turn up to noise gigs if the performers put more effort into putting on a performance. altho i usually like the music/noise there isnt much appeal in watching somebody press buttons etc for half an hour and stare at their equipment. though having said that that's what a concert pianist does as well...

In fairness, what can they do liven things up? Pressing buttons and staring at equipment is pretty essential to making the music.

What about putting your hair in pigtails, wearing a bra and punching members of the audience?

at my next gig, I'm gonna make a point of getting off the stage and getting close to my audience. Will probably go and give high fives to the peeps in the front row. All 3 of them.

i love watching peeps pressing knobs and twiddling things...

 

[Space]

I love peeps watching me twiddle their knobs.

i love twiddling my knob while having a peep.

I stand corrected. Who's big enough to be the GG Allin of the Dublin noise scene?
