demo #12: the wonderful noise

i suppose this is my first real "noise" construction. i was going for a sort of an "obliviously insane" feel. like, imagine bach just losing his mind one day down at the cathedral. i think i hit it, overall, but the tools i had available to me at the time weren't the best; this could have been more unsettling than it is, if i did have access to better tools (i was thinking that at the time). this was constructed on a 4-track tascam with the aid of a kawaii and a few effects pedals....there were no computers involved...

the "hurricane" part of the noise was constructed by looping little bits of sound over themselves. this is oversimplified, but basically it: i took every cassette i could find and dubbed them all on top of each other. not simultaneously, but in different bits. so, i guess if you had more advanced wave analysis tools you could deconstruct that...

the rest of the noise is multiple tracks of guitar noodling through multiple effects patches, mostly high feedback.

a part of the composition involved fucking with cords and pressing pause while i was mastering it. i was sort of playing with the fantasy/reality split. i wouldn't have been able to articulate that then like i could now, so i'll just sort of let that be. i was thinking in terms of being awoken out of a dream.

please use headphones.

i don't know any specifics about activists in new brunswick, but i do know the following:

1) the idea of these kinds of plants goes back to bismarck. it's not a debate, and it's certainly not something that the conspiracy fringe constructed. it's an entrenched statist tactic.
2) given (1), these sorts of moles no doubt exist in whatever movement(s) you're attracted to.
3) the description of this guy in the article does indeed make it seem unlikely that he's a cop.

personally, my flags go off when i see people getting arrested and released repeatedly. but remember that the aim here is to coerce people that aren't cops into breaking the law and getting incarcerated. if there's a cop in new brunswick, the questions aren't "who tossed the bomb?" but "who built the bomb?" and "who influenced and coerced the person that tossed the bomb?".

Hello

Thanks so much for the email. I have verified in your acccount that you were active on 10/02/2013 meaning your billing cycle is the 2nd to the 1st of every month.However being a prepaid company we do bill five days in advance thats why your invoices are due on the 29th of every month. As per your request we can mae them due the first of every month to accomadate your pays thats no problem so that means your invoice that shows currently owing for 10/29/2013 wont be due till 11/01/2013

Thanks for choosing TekSavvy and please don't hesitate to email us back or give us a call at the number below!

hi.

my hookup date was oct 2, 2013. that would suggest to me that my payment date should be on the second of each month, *if* i understand things correctly.

it may seem like a silly thing to point out, and to an extent it is. however, i sort of like the idea of payment being at the beginning of the month rather than the end of it, because i get paid at the beginning of the month. it would simplify my life greatly.

so, i think the invoice should be modified slightly, and would like it to be if it should.
