Merry Christmas and Welcome to Bluelight! only one day a year I can greet someone like that.. =D

A 'channer coming to us in peace? Well I don't know what to make of it, but since I like smoking weed I'll agree with your peaceful vibe. ;) =D

Welcome my bro! I hope you enjoy Bluelight as much as I have over these last few years I've been a member. :)

I've been very sick over the last few days... but because I'm feeling better, I'll give it a listen just for you.. consider it a Bluelight Xmas present ;)

For whatever reason, soundcloud is proving very difficult... but for some reason it started playing track #3 under experimental stuff. I tried playing #1 but... what am I going to do....

Interesting experimental music but, as far as I like experimental music, I couldn't see myself listening to it often. The kind of experimental music I like often puts people in uncomfortable moods / dispositions towards me so I won't share my music right now (noise, glitch type stuff is what I'm working on now) but I'm appreciative of getting to sample your musical works just to get more exposure to different kinds of experimental music! :)
 
For sure, man. Thanks for listening! (I might as well capitalize my shit, if that's the trend here.)

I think the closest thing to glitch I've gotten into is probably Alva Noto. Not quite sure if that's what you're talking about or not. I suppose it's irrelevant.

.....Time to go exploring these forums and shit!

Haha! I'll explain a bit more. My favorite noise artist is Merzbow, and he's by far my favorite music artist of all time. When I was a young boy, my parents listened to oldies and since they hauled me around in the back seat of their car like a pimp would his cane, I was exposed to so much of this music that I think it warped my musical tastes forever. By the time I finally started hearing music that I'd actually entertain the idea of willingly listening to now a days, I was probably like 15-16 years old. Anyways, I first enjoyed listening to death metal bands, especially the death metal/gore-grind band Carcass.

After that point, I listened to many death metal bands, even venturing forth into doom metal/drone, and black metal, as well as grind, industrial, and ambient. At this point I wasn't into noise nor had even heard of it.

Thinking of myself back then, as someone who only listened to primarily metal, really fascinates me as I still do listen to metal but only maybe 1% of the best metal music that I have in my mp3 collection now a days.

OK, so eventually I heard this really weird and very advanced drone release, which was a musical collaboration between Sunn O))) and Merzbow (although Merzbow only collaborated on two tracks entitled "O))) Bow 1" and "O))) Bow 2"), and this release was entitled 3: Flight of the Behemoth. Here's a good image of what the cover looked like...

Anyways, drone wasn't doing much for me at the time I began listening to this, other than making me quite sleepy. I literally fell asleep listening to the first track by Sunn O)). Then came up a track featuring Merzbow. I was in college at the time, just turned 18 years old, and was borrowing my roommate's speakers to listen to my music. The noise in the tracks, although almost minimalist in a sense, awoke me due to the loud volume. I was interested that this CD, within the first two of five tracks, had the power to put me to sleep then wake me up again! What a brief nap! hahaha.

Anyways, after that, the idea of Merzbow as a noise artist grew in my head to the point where I really liked the idea and downloaded both 1) more of his collaborations with popular doom metal/drone bands like Boris, as well as 2) his own music that he and sometimes others had created through the moniker Merzbow. After 4-5 years after I had first listened to the 3: Flight of the Behemoth drone masterpiece, I had finally centered 99% of the music I listened to around Merzbow, and noise music in general. Through those 4-5 years, I only gradually began listening to Merzbow at a very slow rate. I was the kind of person who could download many gigabytes of music to listen to later. So when I found out Merzbow had over 300 releases, I decided, why not download all of them? And I would only listen to one at a time, and very infrequently at first, but now that I've heard a very great percentage of his total discography, I'm fairly certain Merzbow will be my favorite music artist for my entire life.

I almost wonder, if Sunn O))) and Merzbow never collaborated, would I ever have heard of Merzbow? I'd also probably have to exclude the 4 or 5 collaborations with Boris since I really used to like that band as a metal head too...

OK so without maybe 2-3 of the vast hundreds of different music artist Merzbow has collaborated with (some fellow noisicians like Masonna, some rock artists like Richard Pinhas, others minimalists like Cristoph Heemann, and yet also metal/doom/drone arists like Boris or Sunn O)))) - I may have never stumbled unto Merzbow. :) Thinking about this just blows my mind though!

Anyways I shared this with you so you could get a better perspective about the kind of music I like. :)
 
i miss seattle. i lived there for a while, then portland, now i'm back in the midwest. drugs about killed me in portland. if you've been to downtown portland you probably know to which one i am referring! i am also new here. this is my first post. i'd rather not make a thread. i'm jean-paul and i like andy warhol and music and bret easton ellis. and cats. and, um. i spend too much time on forums and too much time on drugs, so this is an appropriate crossover.
