Symphony of Noise (audio)

Started a new track today. Put it up on the myspace SoN page. Want to get guitar on it. I recorded for about an hour trying different things. The short periods of time I didn't happen to be recording are when I played what I liked the most -- per usual. So I'll try again tomorrow when I have more time.

Did a bit more graphics too. Excited to have a nice firm seperation between music and other types of art. Also glad to be making a more firm and happy place to be able to post all the stuff I like to do on the side.

symphonyofnoise.com

I'm excited to be making custom atmospheric audio for menus here and there. Very exciting.

symphonyofnoise.net

production start: 08.10.06

I've been disappointed in different projects I've started as efforts to seperate the music from other art forms. Recently I found a much better deal for web hosting and jumped at it. In the process I ended up with two domains. That presented me with two things. Have symphonyofnoise.net redicret to symphonyofnoise.com? Do something with it? Just put a neat image that links to symphonyofnoise.com? Decided to go with it. It put a perfect chance in front of me. I have somewhere that isn't symphonyofnoise.com and isn't already on plenty of merch. I have a blank slate I can do whatever I want to with.

So this is what I'm doing. I'm going to mount everything that isn't Symphony of Noise Music, here. I've already dabbled in quite a bit. The only thing that turned me off to it is not having a place to present it that clouded an already questionable term. What is Symphony of Noise? I'm going to make it clear. Symphony of Noise and Symphony of Noise Productions will grow in seperate ways. With new musicians being introduced to the Symphony of Noise side of things and other people in talks with getting into the Symphony of Noise Productions side, it should get interesting. I hope it gets more interesting.

The River of Piss

I intend to use this log as a sounding board. I haven't been very open to feedback and opinions in the past. In part of symphony of noise's evolution, I intend to try and include outside influence. Through the course of this album's creation, I aim to post sound bytes and lyrical ideas on this log.

Everything that I've been doing artistically has been leading to this album. Poetry, unrepresented drawings, musical work that was never taken to completion in the past and unrepresented short stories all have been related to the album I am working on right now. Unlike what ended up becoming the majority of the vents, I'm not going to release any songs at all until I am happy with it.

I have a fairly solid plan built off of ideas which have continuously been building over the past years. Previously I would allow the songs to go in their own direction. This typically resulted in them going so far from what I intended that I became frustrated and threw them aside. I would then revisit them later and make them into something usable. Not a very good way to make a record, I must say.

This time, it has been and will continue to progress differently. I am already very pleased with the completed sections and am excited to present the completed music to you eventually.
