Life simply is noise. You walk down a city street, or you're in a crowded restaurant, you process sound much more cacophonous than this. If you were watching a film or some other engaging visual for which this sound was appropriate, you'd never realize it. People are capable of being seduced by sounds far more complex than you give them credit for. It's all in the context, friend.

It is a load of bu((shite you are pedaling and trying to call it provocative. It's still an old man plinking at the strings with bits of rubbish and calling it music.My dog's tail wagging against my Gibson ES 335 strings has more musicality then this tripe!

Then you miss the point of it.Its a reaction to popular music, the antagonist to the industry, and violates all that is called "music". Much as the surrealists did with art, who can say, what IS music. It is created for you to call it noise.

Well - how about this - making sounds on an instrument is 'playing' an instrument. Think of me as a zen master. Or not.

zsector wonders: "is this guy actually good at playing the guitar conventionally?". Why does nobody ever ask whether Segovia could play "Sweet Home Alabama", or whether Hendrix had some Bavarian folk tunes in his repertoire? Keith Rowe is not "dabbling in noise making" - he invented a new approach to playing guitar, and has developed this style for 4 decades. According to Wikipedia, he started as a jazz guitarist until he recognised that "trying to play guitar like Jim Hall seemed quite wrong."

before you down thumb me, let me just tell you that I like this stuff.but I wonder, is this guy actually good at playing the guitar conventionally? Because I know I started dabbling in noise making when I was having trouble early on when playing.

And one more thing......I have tried prepared guitar music at various times with different degrees of what I would term success. One of the problems has been the old earth hum factor from combinations of effects and it isn't always obvious why. |
