NOISEXTRA - The noise podcast.

We remain in the zone for stone cold classics, and it felt like a fitting time to revisit some MB. “Aktivitat” was Greh’s first MB album, and it sounds as hypnotically destroyed as ever. The past remains alive in the atmosphere of the forever work of Maruzio Bianchi.For the ExtraNoisextra segment in the patreon, we discuss a just released modern classic as well as some other choice listening.Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

The mountain men of Blister Pack join us today for a great talk on '90s noise, true crime, video stores, and so much more. Emerson Murray and Nik Weisend were not only Blister Pack, but ran the Plague in Perspective label that focused on special packing. They both have solo projects — Nik as Hive and Emerson under his own name — and both have continued on different paths of art, from visual to the written word.For the ExtraNoisextra segment, Emerson talks about his book on Bruiser Brody and how it all came together.Emerson Murray’s books:"Murder Capitol of the World""Bruiser Brody" Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

Maria Zerfall passed away in February and Sean Ragon (Cult of Youth) had the idea to pay tribute to her with an episode. He chose the "Tote Zone" cassette to discuss which we used as a jumping point to get into her very mysterious discography. Zerfall was a true force of 80s and 90s industrial tape culture and her mark will forever be felt.For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we get into the new Cult of Youth album as well as some recent listening.Check our Cult of Youth's "With Open Arms"Visit our Sponsor: Oxen RecordsCheck out Incapacitants "Oxen Man's Uneasiness"Check out NBDY "Woods & Wires"Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

Illness is running around the Noisextra studios, so for this week we are releasing a patreon episode covering the Hair Police “Mortuary Servants” 7.” Mike and Tara discuss its background and history including the cover, the recording, driving to pick up the records, the strange pressing of the B side and more.

Having recently discussed his collaboration CD with Merzbow, we thought it’d be a great time to have a conversation with Christoph Heemann. One of the main culprits behind H.N.A.S, Ultra, Mirror and so much more, Christoph provided some incredible insight and an equally incredible laugh. This is a great historical episode that looks at the underground from the '80s and beyond.For the extra segment on the Patreon, Christoph talks about working with David Tibet and being a part of Current 93's "Soft Black Stars."

Jack Sargent, author of Deathtripping: The Cinema of Transgression, Against Control: Essays on William Burroughs, and the forthcoming Industrial. Surreal. Outsider. (working title) book on Jordi Valls (Vagina Dentata Organ), visited Los Angeles and sat down with Greh for a conversation on Burroughs' influence on industrial culture and insight on Jordi Valls' art practice.Note: This was recorded in-person outside the confines of our studio, so there's some background sound.Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

We are always fascinated with one off albums on classic labels, so it was cool to have a conversation with Gerald Stevens of Erinys, who released one CD in Tesco in 1998. In addition to his album, Stevens was an early inspiration for Greh to begin making contact mics. It’s a cool discussion from the distant days of the 1990s.Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

In keeping with tradition, we dive into the waters of field recordings for February and this time we discuss on of the classics of the genre - "Weather Report" by Chris Watson. Having spent time in Cabaret Voltaire and Hafler Trio, Waston set out on a lifelong journey recording in the field. "Weather Report" was his first compositional album in this style, and we get into every aspect of each track, from titles to location to possible sounds heard.For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we discuss the very early compositional field recording track "Etude Aux Chemins De Fer" by Pierre Schaefer.Get the album at BandCamp and visit chriswatson.net for more information.Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

It’s the dead of winter and a Slaughter Productions tape felt appropriate for seasonal hibernation. Mortar’s self titled cassette fit the bill perfectly. Mortar is a necro project of Moreno Daldosso of Murder Corporation. Ancient times, old stones, sand, dirt, and storms are all present on this excellent 90s Italian cassette. Let this be the soundtrack to your crypt.For the ExtraNoisextra on the patreon, we go through a bunch of Greh’s Slaughter tapes.You can grab the reissue from menstrualrecordingsFollow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

Following up last week’s episode, we wanted to discuss an album by an artist from "Japanese/American Noise Treaty," and we landed on Contagious Orgasm "The Flow of Sound Without Parameter" on Ground Fault. It’s a Series II CD and is as strange as it is wonderful. We love Ground Fault and we love Contagious Orgasm, so you can guess how we feel about this one. Hydrate your thirsty teeth and head out on your mission.Check out Contagious Orgasm "The Flow of Sound Without Parameter" on Ground Fault's Bandcamp.Visit our Sponsor: Oxen RecordsCheck out Incapacitants "Oxen Man's Uneasiness"Check out NBDY "Woods & Wires"Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

Class is back in session for another mandatory noise history lesson as we had a great discussion about "The Japanese/American Noise Treaty" with the man who curated it, Mason Jones. Mason gives us all the background and history of putting this mammoth document together. We get into the order, how artists were chosen, why some aren’t on it, the design and layout, and so much more. It’s truly one of the most important noise compilations of all time, and was incredible to get the story from the man responsible.Visit our Sponsor: Oxen RecordsCheck out Incapacitants "Oxen Man's Uneasiness"Check out NBDY "Woods & Wires"Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

Hydra is an absolute favorite project of Noisextra and we felt is was a fine time to explore "Power." We dive into this classic tape on Bloodlust! from 1996 and are filled with every emotion throughout the discussion of this cassette. The world lost Greg Scott in 2003, but he forever lives on in this and all his releases.

We start off 2023 discussing some very serious noise artists with Cock E.S.P. "Greatest Dicks"” from 1996 on the one and only Pure. We get appropriately foul and dirty while discussing one of the most seminal, deep thinking and intelligent noise bands of all time. Cock E.S.P. mean it this time and they are definitely making it their business.
