I never got around to buying a 2010 album, although there were a lot I was strongly considering, but wow, Selektiv Hogst sounds amazing, I really should get that. I'll have to look through the rest of your lists because I have to confess I'm still too much of a free jazz fan to have even heard of mo...

Sonic Circuits registered just for me!? I'm flattered! I wasn't referring to the harshness, but the actual volume for hearing damage because I already have tinnitus and I'd rather it not get any worse and I'm a bit sensitive to loud sounds. Like, Peter Brotzmann acoustic without earplugs was too lou...

So I made a thread about it before, but nobody responded, is anyone going to DC Sonic Circuits?

For those who have had experience, is Merzbow going to be as horrifyingly loud as I'm imagining? I'd really like to see him but I have a problem with deafening volume...

They seriously only pressed 19 copies? What the fuck? Why would anybody ever do that? If it's not a CDR, I thought that wasn't even possible.

Anyway, I got KD's s/t from Jon a little while ago. I have to say I'm baffled by all the silences, although when he actually plays is good.

Anybody else going to this? They finally posted ticket info so I thought I would share--for some reason, avant-garde musicians usually have very poor promotion... I live in Northern Virginia so I can't go to every one, but Merzbow, Fennesz, and Ashley Paul sound neat. I am concerned, however, about...

You rule Jon, I'll definitely be getting some stuff from you for this, although I'll have to do it a little closer to August 15th because I just bought some stuff from Squidco. I was impressed by how quickly I received my Ersts from you, although I haven't gotten back to my intro recommendation thre...

There's no easy way out I guess! Although I don't know how much of a difference it will make since I have a really cheap amp. But maybe someday I will have a nicer one.

Thanks, although the I Hate Mixers thread is a little out of date by now. Are you saying that all built in effects are crap, except for the $1000 pro mixers, or that I just have to spring for a little bit more? Because I found this for $200 new including shipping (although it's apparently been disco...

Hello, I want to buy a mixer to do no input mixer stuff as well as open up more possibilities for contact mikes, but I don't know where to begin. I don't think I need a whole bunch of channels because it's just me (although maybe I'm wrong), and I also want some effects because I think that would op...

I want to buy a vuvuzela and hook it up to a contact mike and amplifier with distortion and see if I can get my neighbors to send me death threads.

I think around $15 is generally an OK price for CDs, but I do have to confess I get annoyed when, for example, Evan Parker or Peter Brotzmann release five improv albums in a year. I mean, I concede that the packaging costs are the same, but still, I feel like I should get some sort of volume discoun...

So how's this collab with Weise? it's really amazing imho. i knew it would be good but i was impressed. varied, showcasing greatness from both of these great dudes. highly recommended... waitin for my boxxxx to0o I'm interested in this as well, but I don't have a turntable, and I have no interest i...

I still have copies of that BSC disc on Grob in stock at ErstDist, as well as cheap prices on the Ersts you liked: http://www.erstwhilerecords.com/distro.html FWIW, it sounds like you don't really want noise, you want EAI. and I'd recommend listening to full records (or at least until you get sick ...

Sorry man, I guess you didn't hear, last.fm yanked streaming out from under you, you can only do 30 seconds samples on demand now. But wait, ErstDist has it! Oh, and Forced Exposure does too. I guess I'll have to give up on Absinth, though. I'll definitely check out your new album though. And don't ...

Thanks for all the recommendations guys, I'll investigate all of them but until then, a few comments. To all the people who recommended Sheer Hellish Miasma, I liked the jackhammer aggression in this sample (and I know how you guys feel about MP3s of noise), but I had the problem of it being pretty ...

I'm an ardent free jazz fan, but I find myself wanting more extreme/strange music, and this desire seems to mesh nicely with the possibilities of electronics. Unfortunately, I don't know where to start, and merely lurking this forum hasn't really helped. ;) My major problem is that I hate minimalism...

Thanks man, that's really awesome! I'm not really a sports fan, but in this case GO SAINTS!

Thanks RF, but sadly I broke it apart when I was taking it out. I think I'm just going to buy them separately so I don't have to worry about it. By the way, while it's too late now, did it matter that the transducer was connected to a circuit board before the red and black wires?

The amp came today, it's pretty great. And they accidentally sent me 3 cables so I'm going to try the homemade approach. But it seems that Radioshack doesn't carry piezo discs anymore. :( I hope I can find it in store, the only places I could find them online were charging like $7 shipping. Although...

Can you actually get feedback from a contact mike? It doesn't seem to me that it would be possible but I may be completely misunderstand it. Is there anywhere I can cheaply buy a premade contact mike? I know they're outrageously overcharging for them, but since (at the moment) I only need one, it's ...
