All Music, All The Time?!

baby noise
All music all the time! All! Music! All! The! Time!

I took everything that I have been playing around with in my CubaseTests folder (all these recent postings etc) and mixed them down to one file. Yes. 57 songs in one.

It looked something like that. It took a while. Lots of crunching. And, like I expected, what you get is noise. Combine all sounds and you get a hiss. Combine all colors and you get black. Combine all light and you get white. White noise, somehow related.

Anyway, enjoy this combination of nothing. It fades out because each song is falling off and every song is dropping off and every song is 1/57th of the volume. I also love how TL is jack is the longest one (very quietly).

awesome.

seriously – first thing i thought of listening to this … Gorgoroth’s “Twilight Of The Idols” album … or (slightly) perhaps Darkthrone’s “Transylvanian Hunger”.

awesome track.

to quote Merzbow ..

“I wanted to compose real surrealistic music in a non-musical way. Surrealism is also reaching unconsciousness. Noise is the primitive and collective consciousness of music. My composition is automatism, not improvisation.

My first motivation for creating sound was anti-use of electric equipment-Broken tape recorder, broken guitar, amp etc. I thought I could get a secret voice from equipment itself when I lost control. That sound is unconsciousness, libido of equipment. Then I tried to control them with more powerful process.”
