NOISEXTRA - The noise podcast.

Dave Phillips joins us today for a fascinating discussion. As we have been looking at field recordings this month, we focus on Dave’s work in this realm. He fills us in on his travels, what drew him to recording insects, and his process of doing so. Of course, we also get into other aspects of his work like Fear of God, Ohne, and Schimpfluch-Gruppe. What are the insects telling us?https://dave-phillips.bandcamp.comhttps://www.davephillips.chFollow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

Break the metal mold with Chop Shop "Steel Plate." A heavy release in every sense, we explore the sonic sculptures of Scott Konzelmann. Two 10"s and a booklet strapped to a sheet of metal, this is one of the great 90s noise packages.

A new year should only begin with a classic and that’s what we had searing through the speakers with MSBR "Destructive Locomotion (Dedicated to Chizuo Matsumoto)" on Pure. Chizuo Matsumoto was known to the world as Shoko Asahara, the leader of Aum Shinrikyo. This is a noise/true crime episode, in the vein our Murder Series episodes, as we dig into this incredible album as a background to the story of Aum Shinrikyo and Tokyo sarin subway attacks.Sponsor:Oxen RecordsCircuit Wound "A Sudden Lapse of Concentration"Scathing "A Capital Beneath The Waves"Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

To end the year, we thought we’d give everyone a glimpse into what we’ve been doing over on the Noisextra patreon.You knew it had to happen sometime. That time is now. Greh cornered Mike and asked him all sorts of stuff. Guitar? Check. Death Metal pedal? Check. Air organ? Check. Vocals? Check. And of course we talk his latest evolution of Failing Lights, working with Tara in Yellow Gas Flames, how Clay Rendering has influenced his solo work, and what it's like to operate the Los Angeles Serial Killer Synthesizer Club.Follow us on Instagram: @noisextraFollow us on Twitter: @noisextraaaSupport us on Patreon: patreon.com/noisextra

KK Null’s "Saishiyu Butshitsu" LP from 1985 was recommended to us and we were all blown away. Brand new to us, this album hits all the right notes. In the moment physical brutality brings us to many different spaces in our brain. KK Null has a widely varied discography, but this LP sits firmly in the land of pure noise.
