what is noisecore? to you

http://rapidshare.com/files/353448088/noisecore.txt

These writtings are a rough draft, please remember that. Also I am looking for fans who study anarchism and may have comments regarding this article.
Also other opinions I will publish in my zine (physical zine) if you have nothing else to do.
I documented in this article the relationship to noise to life.

Shit life update.

Ah, Listerine drinking bums, railroad tracks, red skys and pure absolute urban despair and in the middle of it: I present shitty music. Fact: just because this is a "noisecore" blog that is a term meaning many styles of improvised or unorthodox music. So I present some stuff to you, I James Tarr am in physical pain a lot. I need to take pain killers for nerve damage to my neck and face from slashing my jugular vein. It got me nowhere and this music will too. Sorry I am too depressed to upload tapes that much anymore. I live in a very small urban town with shitty bands with no originality, I am so sick of this shit. I am sick of you, I am sick of your informants, your cops, your security. So with pessimistic intentions here are some rare uploads:

A weird freak named Embryo and his great project Mermaid In a Manhole, I listened to it since 2002. I did not know him on a personal level then, but now I do. He inspires me to want to do more noise and experimental. I have no means, I live in a basement but maybe someday. Who has the biggest cock in Sydney, Nova Scotia?

Writing a book, so let it be known I started it first and it was my idea.

I am tracing the roots of noisecore. Tracing the influence of Anarchism, Socialism Nihilism etc on this style music. I am leaving no brance unmentioned. I am going to bring history but I will also bring my life story which is a literal devotion to this music style that is only decades old. I live a chaotic and violent existence, I try to stay crime free now and do this blog. But I am going to do this book, everything from prison, to reading Anarchism, to street life is connected to noisecore. I will show you, I swear. And so nobody steals my idea, I said it first. The first documentation of noisecore, not noise, not synth. NOISECORE, Meat Shits, Jangle, Genital Masticator, that style. Where did it come from, why, the way it was spread was like Anarchist pamphlets. DIY is not just unique to noisecore, we will see years and years of this human behaviour of anti-music.

To me, the best release I ever took apart of.

This was one shot one session, drum machine hatred, this was when I got out of jail. If you notice I just used a drug store receipt as the track listing for my band. This is the very bottom, like my life was at the moment. Injecting ritalin in alley ways and jerking off

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_Noises

Noise Man and Woman

The true anarchist goes through life developing his/her idea of himself/herself and this search for identity manifests itself in many different forms.  The only way for the anarchist to discover his/her identity is to experience and distinguish his/her own individuality within the rest of society.  The quest for ultimate liberation and knowledge of self is what makes anarchy appealing.  The process by which the individual attains that liberation distinguishes the individual’s journey for liberation.  Many anarchists, therefore, mark their own journey by the artwork that reflects their own struggle for self which is why anarchy and art are undeniably intertwined.

So can noisecore shake the stigma of being a male-only, hatefull, gore-obsessed brainless form of artwork someday. I believe so, but there has got to be a call back to literature and debate about why we pursue this form of music. I want people to accept that this is one of the non-violent forms of cultural rebellion untapped by corporate machines. That artists relationships are kindled with letters and even (from experience) trading teeth through the mail to express an artistic respect and fan to fan accessibility.
 This genre of music as I continue to state is an equalizing factor, you do not need talent, you do not need money. You do not need a dick or a vagina, I am so happy more women are doing noisecore. I think the name does not matter, noisecore, noisegrind, etc. But that we must acknowledge that is an end result of something people have no time to read about. That this is a chemical reaction of anarchism in the realm of audio art, that trading collectives and self run record labels are distinct to this genre. That there is no goal attainable that true noise-creators see no record deal in sight, that we cannot exist without each other. Only perform for noisecore, not money. That technology, with or without social media has no influence on the recording process to some. That only noisecore bands are using 4 track tape decks, are still putting old technology to use and using it to create new sounds. How radical is that! Everyday I see a more rigid regime of music, concerts, money, music, concerts, money. Bar shows with people who pretend to be cops, working the doors, watching you. Even if you have no idea about Anarchist philosphy it is time to look back and start drawing the lines. Do not look to ;punk; as the main influence to this creation, because PUNK is a product. We need to start telling people about the creation process, the feeling we get of total freedom, we must share this with our gay, lesbian, women and friends. This vector for socially unacceptable topics can be the perfect place for the talentless, hopeless person who has something to say but nobody to listen to them. That all the porno-grind bullshit and women hatred is something I regret even listening to at one time, I am tolerant of alot. But lately I just cannot take another band regurgitating gore problems. Let us start writing about noisecore as a lifestyle, as a liberator, as a vector for change, let us use the energy and the networks already around for years. Let us not put up with oppression against gays and women, no. Let us use noisecore as the topic of noisecore, I mean let us advocate this freedom in more songs and lyrics. Or song titles. I feel like this scene is slowly dying out and only a handfull of misguided people are left. It is time to start documenting this movement and really seeing where negativity will lead it and where it has been lead by hatred. Or let us see what humour, bizarre, random, social, political, abstract drives have done for this genre. It is time to actually identify your music with your life, because you do not kill people or eat peoples livers. Gore-noise was somebodys own invention and many people bastardized it. It didnt glorify murder but highlighted the culture of Western civilization. We use multimedia samples as parts of noisecore because reality is equally revolting sometimes as human nails across a chalkboard. Who wants to organize a noisecore compilation zine about why, what, and how. Let us fully discover our own meanings and desires in our artwork and let us see what positive change we can make by making this accessible to women as much as men. Just another rant.

Let's take a look at motives and survey them, the motive to create noisecore. (passion, fun, empowering, etc
Let's renounce hatred from this scene and open it up to LGBT communitys and races of all types
Let's see in what relation a prolific noisecore artist is within society, do many work, are some visually offensive or just average people
Let's spread the word that equality can be achieved and anyone is welcome to create
Let's identify many qualitys of Anarchism in relation to noise, it's influence on artwork as a whole
Let's take a look at tape trading, and DIY culture, those same many tendencys from noise and Anarchism

Sociedad De Rechazo / Potabilizadora

http://rapidshare.com/files/2489655526/sociedad%20de%20rechazo%20-%20potabilizadora%20split%20tape.rar

A classic I could not find online, lucky yours truly has a bootlegged copy and free time on his hands.
MMan, Potabilizadora are ahead of their time, know how many bands had a style that percussive and with a fast drum machine back then. Not many on the noisecore take, seriously these Spanish bands must of had access to alot of cool gadgets back then. The pitch shifted vocals on their side are just about savage as a lion. SDR are alright, they are punkish sloppy noisecore. This is a must listen to tape, this is a must have. Cadaverizer records was the best noisecore record label in my opinion. That was the hey-day. Bands like Jangle, non-political just fucked up insane noisecore are why bands like Gruesome Toilet and Anal Birth even exist.

My youth

I used to be a hatefull, ignorant and violent human being. I used to use weapons on people and commit thefts, I realized alot of things while in prison. Prison was the ultimate learning experience because if it wasn't for the murders, human rights violations and abuse I wouldn't of changed my life. I even did a year for threats against a former girlfriend and did not even do them, which in that year my brother commited suicide. That family that lives here never leaves me alone, they cannot see the possibility that a human being changes, especially under hellish circumstances. Recently the brother of this bitter girl barred me from a bar because he was scared of me. Why are these people scared of me, if they even knew the truth. I don't have the energy or time to waste on revenge against police informants, if working for the crooked law gets you feeling great in the end, well whatever.
I can tell you, there is nothing legal about certain cops and the things law enforcement does to people. When I first got released, without my brother, I felt friendless, hopeless. But always my pen pals and noise fans were supporting me through emails and letters. I could not be educated as I am today if it wasn't for lying exgirlfriends saying I was going to kill them, I discovered Anarchist literature, nihilist literature from 1800's Russia and through many books and beatings learned the definition of oppression. Violence, true violence, to commit violence upon people would be like to be those guards, to be those pigs, to be that girl that laughs at you because your brother is dead. Recently I cut my throat and almost never survived, surgery, and a giant nasty scar for life is not all I gained from that. But I realized there is no sense dwelling on negativity, dwell in the past if you will but on the happy moments. My youth was my start to dissecting and analyzing this phenomena of music called noise-core. I listen to rock and roll, country, and punk-hardcore as well but this is the genre that I contributed to the most. With zines, labels, releases, my projects, websites. Adam Rotella and Embryo have been people who I could talk to about personal problems, not just our bizarre music tastes.
I will continue to live free, crime free, hate free and I hope those who harbor hatred let it go. It only serves to destroy you. I plan on someday making a documentary or book about this music and it`s very small underground community, the origins of noise are a 100 years old, but noise-core (improvised music mixed with modern hardcore beats and the fast tempo of the early 80`s will be the main subject. What wars, what strife, what oppression has created who and where. You will see many noisecore bands in places where injustice exists, it is a modern primal expression. It is the ultimate in DIY. So read, study the past, understand the reasons for anti-art in modern culture. I say anti-art meaning not commercially acceptable music. I do believe these genres and these decades of extreme, fast, chaotic music that was often released on DIY tape is the only genre that will never become that `bleedin`stupid noise`` and then become popular in culture like Punk did. You are in the midst of the most underground bands, I hope you do not mind my history lessons either. It`s important we get to know the social reasons of noisecore and past noise music. Why abstract is needed in human life and why we need to use topics that are antisocial, gore, war, etc. These are realities that we cannot nullify ourselves to. Facing and seeing real death has made me appreciate life and love. I am a noisecore hippy and if your band is about hatred, or promoting discriminating hatred then you are truly not representing the use of noisecore. Noisecore philosphy is a reality, peace, love and noisecore.

I had a good ear for unique new sounds

So I released this on my label in 2008, under the Experimental Deformities monicker of Intestine Stew Records. IST released grind and goregrind, punk, hardcore, etc but my subsection of a label was into the freaky new sounds that I love so much. I designed the cover art and insert, I begged Steve to put this out on my label. Very few people own it, now you can hear it.http://rapidshare.com/files/1334365389/Tracheotomy%20Waterpipe%20'vomiting%20necktie'%20demo%20EP.rar

Burnt Human Garbage

This demo of me on drums,  playing old school short song noisecore and Styv on vocals and bass guitar is a rare as hell tape. It is real drums, short songs, garage quality sound. Just bringing it back to the days of hardcore noisecore obsessions (1990's) Stupid song titles, mispelled and shit Steve, thanks.
Fun to play drums on though. Another one that you'll never find anywhere else.

Old snail mail interview with my buddy Adam Rotella snail mail interview

New unreleased Gruesome Toilet and Big Ass 'ass worship' demo

unique, cool, old school, perverted and tasteless noisecore devoted to Big Ass love. Well, I loved many Big Ass in my day, I like pale big ass though. Nerdy hot librarian with a rocking body underneath her baggy clothes,  that's a James fantasy. Enjoy this: http://rapidshare.com/files/2649208932/Big%20Ass%20'Ass%20Worship'.rar

Now here is something Embryo sent me, god love him, unreleased material for your pleasure right here. Don't forget, this blog is going to be putting out treats more often. Just getting my tapes back recently. http://www.mediafire.com/download/aip7rbwzrwvurov/Gruesome_Toilet_-_Aroma_du_Toilette.rar UNRELEASED GRUESOME TOILET FOR YOU

Noticed the sites that hosted this demo before are now not active, this needs to be online.

Jangle (live)

 http://youtu.be/YJUlFc206Yw
One of my favorite noise-gore-shit bands of the 1990's. Why can't I ever go to a show one day and see a band that would sound like this, man that would feel so good. Going to upload some more stuff soon I promise, this labtop can only go so fast.

Arthropox/Gruesome Toilet split

This weird and rare tape from Septic Tank Vomitorium Recordings was limited to 30 copys, sorry I mispelled Arthropox on the .rar file. I don't have a scan of the insert, although I wish I did, the tape was visually appealing. http://rapidshare.com/files/2900213163/Anthropox%20-%20Gruesome%20Toilet%20split%20tape.rar

My future, Down The Drain (DTD split with Morbid Shit)

This split tape with Montreal noisecore project Morbid Shit (unreleased 1994 material) is something you cannot digest, this is the very bottom of audio cassette tape recordings. Side A (down the drain) was a one time experimental project by me and Philip Tarr. It was recorded in 2011 with a 4 track recorder, under the influence of sedatives and shit-noise life negativity. It was this time when we knew we reached rock bottom but in our own minds, made a masterpiece. The true essence of Sydney, Nova Scotia`s pulse of slime and medical waste represented in the form of urinating, flushing toilets, senseless cursing, and a drum machine.Then the best part, Morbid Shit's vacuum cleaner, yelling, drum machine beating, screeching classic sound. Being that it's unreleased material from 1994. Sorry no insert photo, don't have a scanner, it was just about the worst hand written insert ever made to compliment such a shit masterpiece. http://rapidshare.com/files/159366120/DTD-Morbid%20Shit.rar

Canadian Noise History

http://www.ishitnoise.com/wiki/index.php?title=Gocharge_Records

Just want people to know about this old label from the 1990's, this was as creative (in my mind) as it gets for a tape label. It was experimental as it gets. Good luck finding copys of these tapes, but Frank Goshit still releases stupid tapes. And cd-r's and you will be hearing some of that eventually.

The thoughts that started a revolution against aesthetic only art.

This could be the forerunner to artists breaking free of tradition and exploring different subjects, subjects that may be unpleasant, this could be the influence that many probably said in the 20th century, ``why cannot we apply this to music, this attitude toward beauty and structure, anti-aesthetic values.
We are now the people saying `why not` why can`t you consider me an artist if I don`t create beauty and a false sense of security. It`s because humans are ashamed of their own actions, their own downfalls, we must hide in a sense of social anaesthia. Subjects to deal with human rights and prison rights are blattently ignored, the value of life represented by the theme of mortality is a turn off, gore, violence, death, your society creates this but you cannot turn away. It is for noisecore musicians and other underground genres to document the real world. Because it`s not pretty, it`s not great. Let the noise be history;s real thoughts from the street. Let it be that we never forget our right to create anything we desire.

Koaxil - Making Drugs Illegal Is Murder

The last release by a very talented musician, my twin brother now deceased. This was one month before his suicide and this is my favorite release he ever did. It is minimalistic noise-shit with socially aware lyrics. Koaxil is a drug used by hardcore addicts that destroys veins and kills within months of use. It is an example of the effects of no harm reduction, where opiate addicts have to resort to dangerous pills to get high. Anyway, imagine Gruesome Toilet with more audible vocals and anger. These were the last days of my brother's life.

http://www.vice.com/en_ca/read/rip-philip-tarr-1987-2012 personally my favorite noise release of 2012. Philip was most well known for his rock and roll talent but this is equally amazing.

Stomach Noises demo 1993

A sick piece of cassette anti-music, where gore-noise got it`s sound. Spain had the best noisecore scene in the world at that time. Cassette after cassette tape. I hope the guy from RONF isn`t angry by me ripping this but this is my world. This is what I want to share. I spent a whole summer caged up in my house hunting down rare tapes. This was one of them. In other news, yesterday I slit my throat 3 times, my legs and wrists, waited calm and collective while 6 liters of blood spilled from my body. I was found by some teenage kids and they called an ambulance and that is the only reason you get to here Stomach Noises today. I am on pain killers and feeling generous. I hate my life, I only love entertaining my fans. A whole plethora of noise-knowledge will go down the drain when I die. So if you want to ever know my life, read my blogs, zines and buy my tapes. I live a noisecore existence meaning nobody will accept me as artistic or talented but i`ll tell you one thing, when I am dead and gone, you`ll remember that low-life junkie who lived a lonely squalid life because I only knew one thing in this world. The history of anti-music. All you other blogs post porno grind and shit, you won`t find nothing but dusty old school tapes here. More to come.

A war waged on industrial colonialism through noise

A radical new agenda played out through blogs, zines and speakers. This is war against traditionalism and aesthetic values, you may of heard that before but a new radical is emerging. The shit-noise lifer. The blatent disregard for modern technology is prevalent, if we look back to 1913 and see futurists noise music played by machines we cannot devalue this influence. But at the same time, in this era, a level of violence and even more sonic carnage is popping up. I personally have no respect for internet bands, this is just a fleeting era. But those who record and release analog are truly performing an anti-capitalist task, without intention or with intention. The vinyl record and cassette tape lasts longer than cds and has very little interest from big labels. Every aspect, including the hand drawn or photomontage cut and paste art is saying `I don`t need the technological rat race`. We are a small group of unknowingly devoted fans to a 100 year old tradition, it`s just that we have a different take on it. As violence and warfare have influenced some bands, the sound and themes have become modern: violent, more offensive, more revolting to reflect our present day world. The plastic age cannot destroy the DIY network. A true international commune of trading labour for labour. Tape for tape.
We aim to make use of all objects as means of sonic communication in an artistic sense, or we take a minimalist approach and strip it down to just percussion and a voice fed up with the grinding industrial life. Where I was born, colonial exploitation from Crown corporations ravaged my town, like a parasite it came and sucked the health of nature dry. This could be an example of why someone would choose noise as a style, to convey the sound of waste and machinery, destruction to the human ear. Not even the lyrics or human vocals have to convey messages, why set down rules for an expression of artwork when all around us there are no rules for those who`s only goal is to obtain money or uphold law and order. We can revolt against corruption with a chaotic collage of sounds. We can highlight and shine the light on the worst parts of humanity and not trick ourselfs into a fairy tale world of love, partys, money and cars.

-You do not need talent, everything around you is a potential instrument, this personally I contribute to found object art from the early 20th century. Example water has been used as an instrument recently.
What critic decides what is truly art and what is not, this question has no answer because the artist is the only sole decision maker of what is an expression of art. The uncertainty of living in a violent modern age, the constant barrage of commericials and television, the confines of structure in music just make us inhuman. I believe noisecore or whatever you want to call it is a vector for equality. Any untrained male or female can become a producer of something that is tangible, that is theirs. It is entirely your choice to be a creator, it is not anyone elses. Do not listen to a critic, do not ever give up on your idea of sound. It is yours, it is not anyone`s property, it is liberation to the human being. Who except a zombie doesn`t have the desire to express their life or their surroundings, by limiting it to technical muscians we put certain people on a level above us. There is no meaning to this life, therefore there is no meaning to follow structure, and to that extreme: To not have a job, to not follow the law, to indulge in drugs or sex. Please consider that you could be a noise-lifer, you could express political or social beliefs and make a change. Only those who follow music theory and practice are subjugated by their own `talent`. Please take this gift of freedom in a world where democracy and freedom of speech is nothing but a lie.

1998 gore-noise

Liquified Maggots demo 1998, Adam Rotella project.I can't believe Anal Birth got so much credit with this more basement sounding, thrashing gore-noise. I wish I had a scan of the tape I own but I am poor and don't own a scanner anymore. It's Adam, black and white, crime scene no-sense gore photograph as the cover. His pal Will Wizbicky is on the bass. Adam on guitar and vocals. New York's finest for you noise-loners out there on this warm night. You know I got nothing else to do!http://rapidshare.com/files/3490441789/Liquified%20Maggots%201998%20demo.rar

Mermaid In A Manhole

Spiritual Advice From Mold & Spores. This is officially classic, we got a minimalist scatological master of Gruesome Toilet back in 2000 and Kyle of DxHx playing guitar. This was a great obscure tape, never saw it online so here you are my friends. https://rapidshare.com/files/1010357293/Mermaid%20In%20A%20Manhole%20-%20spiritual%20advice...rar

This was a new sound for its time and is a far departure from the minimalism of Gruesome Toilet
