I was madly in love with industrial music from the '80s like Test Dept; they sampled industrial tools and noises and made freaking good music. Maybe you can listen to it too, for educational purposes at least, haha. 😂
Re-mastered😂😂😂
In other words - take it and clip it some MORE! 🤣 I'm playing around with clipping audio and samples, and so far it may not sound masterful, but I'm just practicing right now. 😉 I'll release something noisy and disturbing soon enough for the Halloween season.
EDIT: Just got home and I'm catching up.
@jwmmakerofmusic j was stuck on effects and don’t even mention instruments. KQs Monotron clones, Skiiid, Autopad (through loads of effects), NoInput, Resonatedo, Sinusedo, any granular app, the upcoming ASync sampler, Glitchscaper, iVCS3, Koala, Soundscaper, Polyvoks, Fundamental, Noises, Shoom, Hexaglyphics, Droneo, Mononoke, id700, EGSY synth, EsotericSynth, AUGenX (can’t recommend that one enough), Phawuo, Rrarow, Menace, WebSDR, DroneLab, EFdrone, Drone Fx, Thermo are all great too.
..sorry I got carried away 😂
If you want some more artist reccs: The Residents, This Heat, Cabaret Voltaire, Boris, Daughters, Swans, Xiu Xiu, the Pop Group, Coil, BBCs radiophonic workshop, Raymond Scott (less noisy than others but basically invented electronic music), Autechre, Deerhoof, Lightening Bolt, Set Fire to Flames, early Butthole Surfers, Oneohtrix Point Never, Arca, White Noise, Laurie Anderson, Tim Hecker, William Basinski, Scott Walkers later work, Pharmakon, Prurient, Metal Machine Music by Lou Reed…
…And my personal favorite: Throbbing Gristle. 20 Jazz Funk Greats is my favorite album of all time. Don’t let the name fool you. It’s noisy lol.
I think listening to any of those and watching them live will be very useful as well.
That's fantastic. I think I'm good on instruments right now (I have a fair few mentioned), although I think I want to try AUGenX lol. Just need ten quid (current price) and I'm off! So, definitely grabbing it Thurs.
I'll also be diving into all the artists mentioned.
I'll be at the auto repair shop Thurs, so nothing but time on my hands. That is, I'll check the artists mentioned if I'm not working on a new piece myself, lol.
AuGenX is probably a top 5-10 app ever for me. It really is excellent. Phawuo is great for harsh noise as well. I think I remember you saying you had Noises already?
Sweet! Let me know what you think. I love experimental music in any form. Excited to hear what you come up with
@dendy Good plan.
I'll check those three pieces first before watching the Brit Awards.
@klownshed Will definitely check "America: What time is Love?" and other KLF pieces.
@sigma79 Both "Window Licker" and "Come to Daddy" were my gateway drugs into the powerful dosage of music that is Aphex Twin. Absolutely batshit but great music!
And you lucky son of a gun! You met him?! I'm jealous, lol. I've always wanted to meet Richard and pick his brain, lol.
"Trange Hings" sounds like this really wacked out version of Old Skool pre-Skrillex dubstep, and I'm here for it!
@Luxthor Test Dept are fantastic! I want to try that type of atonal music too, and I think I can pull that off in Koala Sampler.
@HotStrange
And yes I have Noises already. In fact I think I have all of AudioThing's plugins fwiw.
I'm excited what I'll come up with too! I may break out Cubasis 3 for some of these experiments since I do believe it has AUv3 effects automation (sorry NS2), and I can use it on my iPhone 14 Pro Max for on-the-go experimentation.
Here is a track from an album that will blow your speakers, seriously, be careful on the volume with this stuff. If you're into this kind of music, check out Dental Work and the entirety of Placenta Records. I had to include Merzbow live in Tokyo.
I watched this. Seemed useful.
I love those iceberg videos. Gonna check this out later for sure.
@jwmmakerofmusic sweet! God speed my friend 🫡
Also since you have all AudioThing apps, Noises through Springs, Wires, Valves, Crusher in any combination is chefs kiss
For extra sauce, record it through a distortion app then into Gauss at 2x speed, slow it way down, and run it through another distortion and Wires (or Wires then distortion). Honestly just clip everything and see what happens 😂
Cool ideas! Thanks mate.
That’s what I love about iOS, the modular aspect means you can route things in any way and switch and replace the em quickly. That’s the main thing that keeps me from going back to hardware. I don’t miss the days of a million cables and hardware midi routing and trying to find the problem synth that’s making the timing drift lol
And compared to Desktop, iOS is much more "immediate" in getting great results!
True that! I don’t really miss desktop anymore either. I’m saving up now to buy the Korg Nanokey/Kontrol studio bundle to have a fully cordless production set up. Kontrol as a fader/launcher for Koala, Drambo, AUM, etc and the Keys for, well, keys lol
I had a lot of fun yesterday just putting various distortions and feedbacks through other ones. Klevgrand Modley is actually quite interesting for some of this stuff as it has those distortion and boost modules, and they can be inserted pre, post or INSIDE the delay's feedback loop. Again you could probably set a lot of that stuff up yourself by using feedback loops in aum, but things like this and NoInputMixer make the whole process easier and will be an aid to productivity for most people doing this stuff, I reckon
Yeah, in Gauss, remember: that gain knob is your friend!
Nothing on youtube is going to blow your speakers as it is all compressed hehe, thank god. Yeah this kind of stuff is definitely not a very enjoyable listen for me, in general, but I imagine live, with great speakers, eyes closed and just immersing your whole body mind in this, could be interesting for sure
Also, JMW, some of those unfiltered audio apps will come in handy
@jwmmakerofmusic : Strong recommend for Dreamcrusher (and not just because they are non binary). This PBS mini doc gives you the flavour:
Very enlightening too on the history of non-white/male/cis artists in this genre. Dreamcrusher make what they describe as ‘nihilist queer revolt musik’.
Works for me!
Also got to check one of my genuinely favourite albums ever here: Chrome’s Half Machine Lip Moves:
Released 1979 (!) Up there with Suicide in the ‘revolutionary’ stakes, I think.
Modely has always tempted. I like the idea of that and the 4Pockets app. Basically building your own effects. I’ll probably buy one of them one day lol
If you have drambo, you can use the delay rack-module to do something along the lines of modley and you can use auv3s in the feedback loop,too
Ah Drambo where would we be without ye? 😂
Hey, can you do this in BAM? lol
No unless I’m overlooking it. BAM is much simpler in that it’s just your basic effects chain. Can still get wild with it though.
I’m tempted by the sale on Modley because I love effects that just go for it and get crazy, but deep down I really don’t need it lol I’m also curious about their DAW cassette app. Is it the only app specifically emulating cassette tape and not just tape reels or reel to reels?
Free from caelum:
https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/tape-cassette/id1488648013
And I think there is a newer version, too.
OH duh 🤦🏻♂️ I’ve had that app for so long now and somehow forgot about it. The Klevgrand app seems a bit deeper but the Caelum one just sounds fantastic. Perfect for adding that extra oomph to something.
No, that was just a joke about BAM because there was quite a lot of discussion about BAM vs Drambo, wasn't a serious question haha
this poped out on my YT timeline.. following her for some rime, she has some pretty good noise/hardxore jams on elektron boxes but this blew my mind - it's must on Analog Heat FX, no input connected and no feedback.. man it sounds SOOO rich and fat... really love it
Whew I definitely needed that nap I took earlier because it went right over my head 😅 I had been up for 25 hours so I think I was losing it by that point lol
