NOISEXTRA - The noise podcast.

Noisextra kicks off 2021 with a new style of episode — Listener Questions. We answer questions sent in by listeners that provoke all types of discussions. Behind the scenes info, advice to new artists, memorable live shows, expanding thoughts and ideas on noise and more. Welcome to a new noise year.Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

We end the year with an all time favorite of Greh’s in the form of MSBR & Blazen y Sharp "Mass for Dead Insects" CD. Dark atmospheric noise spills into the room from a futuristic past. Greh discusses his relationship with this album and we go all in on this unique 90s noise collaboration.Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextraRecent Listening:Deaf Machine "Found Noises"The Grey Wolves "Red Terror/Black Terror"Miguel Ruiz/Francisco Lopez "Rumor de Materia vol. 1"Maeror Tri "The Beauty of Sadness"Maeror Tri "The Language of Flames and Sound"Die Sonne Satan "Metaphora"

‘Tis the season to hang the mistletoe, pour the eggnog and break out Smell & Quim’s “The Christmas Album” cassette. Dave Walklett lent his voice to give some background and ideas behind this tape as we trim the tree to the rambunctious noise contained within. This Christmas, march to the Quim Republic with Noisextra.Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextraRecent Listening:Genocide Organ "In-Konflikt"Einsturzende Neubauten "Halber Mensch"V/A "Kingdom of Noise"V/A "Good Alchemy"SPK "Despair"Anthony Pasquarosa “Magic and Warmth at Christmastime”Kevin Drumm “Tannenbaum”

2020 comes to a close, therefore it is time to discuss our favorite noise of the year. We each brought 5 releases to talk about, but of course that’s not enough for us noise maniacs, so we end up going into much more. Our deepest, noisiest THANK YOU to all of our listeners this year...we have only just begun.Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

Randy Yau joins us for a discussion on his work, both sonic and visual, and we couldn’t have been more honored. His live sets are stuff of legend, and he gets into preparing for a set as well as his recording process (hint: bathrooms are involved). For this important noise history lesson, we will provide the paper, but you need to bring your own celery.

Stephen Petrus (Murderous Vision/Live Bait Recording Foundation) joins us to discuss the classic “Death Odors” compilation on Slaughter Productions.

From Public Bath Records to Public Bath Press, Kato David Hopkins has been flying the flag of Japanese sounds since the 1980s. He’s seen it all... from the very first Masonna shows, to innumerable classic shows at the legendary Bears club. His most recent work is a great book called “Rumors of Noizu: Hijokaidan and the Road to 2nd Damascus” that traces the experimental music scene in Japan leading up to the debut Hijokaidan LP. Get your pen and paper out for another fascinating noise history lesson.

Rhythmic noise puts us squarely in a sci-fi future as we ride the space ways with Sonar’s eponymous debut album. Our minds radiate and we sink into the waters of swampheaven with this CD of head churn electronics. Peek behind the metal doors and witness the medical experiments in progress.Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra Recent Listening:Die Kombination "Signale"Various Artists "Death Always Follows"...Today I'm Dead "Menstrual Gold"Brighter Death Now “Innerwar”Richard Ramirez “Tracking Device”

The Pure series enters our ears again in the harshest way possible with Dead Body Love “Maximum Dose.” Mike attempts to turn it down, Tara scolds Mike and won’t let him, and Greh runs his girlfriend out of the room. These are all proper reactions to this slice of 90s Italian noise, courtesy of the most important series in noise.You can still get this from RRRecords.comFollow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra Recent listening:Skin Crime "Stories and Studies of Strange Things"Jumping Tiger "Demo"Subklinik "Molestdeath"Taint "The Untimely Silence"Korpses Katatonik "Sensitive Liberated Autistiks"Skin Crime “Lot No. 249”Moonbeam Terror/Fistfuck "split"

The ancient world is alive as we discuss "Missing Volume" by the seminal and mysterious Japanese project S·Core. Fire, fog, and hidden places are all contained within these two sides of dark atmosphere. Yutaka Tanaka, the man behind S·Core, created some of the most unique releases to come out of the noise scene, and "Missing Volume" is no exception.Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra Recent listening:Shredded Nerve "Acts of Betrayal"Werkbund "Skagerrak"Burried Machine "Stoned Mirror"The Cherry Point "Visiting Hours"Runes Order "1988-2022"RJF "Greater Success in Apprehension & Convictions"Lussuria "Scarlet Locusts of These Columns"

We embark on a yearly Halloween tradition as we go deep on Atrax Morgue "Woundfucker," recorded on Halloween of 1994. An album that has been with all of us for as long as we can remember, "Woundfucker" never fails to affect all of our souls. We relay some of Marco Corbelli’s thoughts via old interviews and dissect what we revere about Atrax Morgue.Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

Voices from somewhere beyond interrupt our signal as we discuss “The Ghost Orchid - An Introduction to EVP” CD from 1999. Keeping with the Halloween season, we talk ghosts, the unexplained, as well as the history of EVP recording and the main researchers behind the study of this phenomena. Set your dial to a ghost frequency and hear what can be heard.Available at Bandcamp: The Ghost Orchid - An Introduction to EVPFollow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextraRecent Listening:Inade "The Crackling of the Anonymous"MortiisAutechre "SIGN"Current 93 "Where the Long Shadows Fall"

Halloween season creeps on and we discuss a very fitting album for the autumn atmosphere — “The Curse of the Scarecrow” by Megaptera. Farm machinery creaks in the distance while the scarecrow’s spell takes hold. The darkening weather is welcome and this haunting death ambient industrial album will perfectly compliment your October nights.Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra Recent listening:Hive Mind "Elysian Alarms"Megaptera "Disease"Polar Moldmentous "Meat Chamber After All"Polar Moldmentous "Desperate in Nirvana"Jacob Kirkegaard "Opus Mors"Haus Arafna "Asche"Aaron Dilloway / Robert Turman / John Wiese "Electronic Extension"OVMN "Throbbing Pulse"Atrax Morgue's Morder MachineMy Name is Nobody: Stephen Petrus (Murderous Vision) Coffee table:John Duncan & Jonathan Canady "Show Your Love"Kato David Hopkins "Rumors of Noizu and the road to 2nd Damascus"

We have entered October, the best month of the year, and wanted to do something different to kick off the Halloween season, so we decided to do a special horror movie episode with Black Leather Jesus. Sean, Richard, and the three of us selected some of our horror favorites and had a round robin discussion. Be a fly on the wall for an after-show hang out with noise and movie fanatics.Also, today (October 7th, 2020) NOISEXTRA have released our first video podcast discussing THE NEW BLOCKADERS for Tusk Festival - it will be played at Noon PST and repeat 12 hours later (Midnight PST) after its initial broadcast for those who missed it!Check their music out at Richard Ramirez &The White Visitiation at BandcampFollow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

With the upcoming “Fragmentation” 4 LP set on Hospital Productions, we had the pleasure to chat with Christina Sealey and Rich Oddie of Orphx. We go into their early days of warehouse shows and noise culture. A fascinating look at a pocket of sound experimentation emanating from a small Canadian enclave, Orphx are one of the most unique noise projects of any era.https://orphx.bandcamp.comhttp://www.christinasealey.comFollow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra* Photo by Michael Contreras
