Hi. I’ve been looking to get a feedback looper pedal, but I’m wondering what the advantages and disadvantages are to actual no input mixing. Could someone help explain? Thank you! Much appreciated

Is there something in our genetic makeup or personalities that draws us to dissonant weirdness? I have so many friends and family who think 'my music' is horrible. I had stumbled across an article that touched on this subject many years ago but I'm unable to track it down now. I've often described certain noise bands that scratch an itch in my brain that I just can't get enough of. I have adhd and Ive often wondered if this plays into it at all.

Does anyone know of any underrated bands/albums like early nowave and industrial era swans?I like swans, but I want to broaden my influences to bands/albums that aren't only popular. Yk?

Obviously, noise has always occupied a place as subversive, countercultural, etc. With the rise of AI music and its burgeoning interference with copyright (which will only get worse), is it possible that noise is more important than ever?

Specifically, when I upload noise music to Soundcloud, those tracks are never eligible for promotion because the machine learning can't identify it as a song. I've always interpreted this to be because noise often lacks the traditional structure and hallmarks of "regular" music. I have no scientific proof of this beyond my own experiences, but even a search on Youtube didn't bring up AI-generated noise music. It's possible no one is interested in doing that so it simply doesn't exist yet, but that's not my larger point.

Ever since LLMs hit the public, I've tried to put "None of my music is AI-generated" on everything I release., noise or otherwise This isn't just to offer convenient disclosure, but admittedly it's also a source of pride. I made this, myself, no AI-prompt involved. It may suck ass, it may never get views, but it's mine. Now, I almost feel like putting this disclaimer is also an act of protest against big tech. Almost akin to the tools artists can use to poison their images against data-scraping.

Long story short, does anyone feel similarly? Has anyone been thinking about this topic in a similar vein?

Take a listen to the latest episode (241108) of Nya Ljud. Originally aired on Camp Radio - now on Mixcloud:

I do two one hour episodes every month so all contributions by current active artists are welcomed. Especially new tracks. It is easier to fit shorter tracks (45 minute drones have to be cut down uzw). Preferably submissions are done with wav/flac files through a filetransfer service. Or through Bandcamp codes.

Contact info, older shows, some sort of artistic statement et cetera can be found here: http://arkivfeber.se/nyaljud.html

I found an a&h gl2200 on marketplace for super cheap. It may be broken, but on the off chance I can get it to work, is that a board that would be useful for no input mixing? I'm relatively new to noise music, but want to explore new techniques and equipment.

I made a new subreddit called r/TexasNoise because there hasn't been one created yet and I believe the experimental and noise scenes and communities of Texas would benefit if we had our own online community to share our music, record labels, local shows, compilations, and collabs/splits. This subreddit would help small and big artists in Texas find their fellow local musicians and build a greater community throughout Texas. So, if you're interested in or produce experimental and noise and live in Texas or frequently visit for tours, live shows, and what not, please join this subreddit, because the noise and experimental communities and musicians throughout Texas would benefit greatly if they had a community to share their art and communicate ideas and suggestions with. Lastly, Thanks to all of you who do join r/TexasNoise, it means a lot to noise and experimental fans and artists looking for someone nearby to enjoy and share their music with.

as the title suggests, I've just made an ambient noise box similar to Mark Kroven's apprehension engine. I have two questions issues:

1: what would be an appropriate volume potentiometer for four piezo pick ups wired in parallel? I was using some old electric guitar pots but there was far too much extra noise so I just eneded up going without a volume pot which solves the noise.

2. I have a small DC computer fan inside the box to make a droning sound, and its wired to a control pot and a DC jack, and it works fine but when I have a 9 volt power supply plugged in, it makes the signal noisey. any ideas how I can solve this?
