Geocities Noiselist433

I was thrilled to see some semblance of my noise resource page still archived. This was from a geocities site I had, and naturally I called it "Noiselist433" 🤣

This was a 2009 archived version. I know I had another geocities and angelfire site during the 90s that I called "Noiseman's Noisepicks" though I can't recall the url so haven't been able to see if any of that is still archived.

Looks like I started this page in 2002!

Noise Bibliography pt. 2

I've checked the links I had posted
here to see what's outdated. Most of them are functional and I'll do some searches to see if the non-functional links are hosted at some other URL.

I've been finding several other academic articles that I will be adding, and I suppose that I should probably post the biblio in some standard format for more ease of searching. I would probably like to make it more of an annotated bibliography to help anyon doing serious research decide if the article is relevant fo their purposes.

As anyone who's clicke on the links have noticed, some of them take you to abstracts of actual print articles. I'm attempting to get hard copies of those (and the others I mentioned above) so that I can even bother with annotating a bibliography.

Noise Bibliography

I decided to start a noise bibliography. As I was adding links to the sidebar I realized that that could get pretty long. Rather than doing that, I'll be updating this list (which I will link to the side bar) instead. This list is by no means exhaustive, and many of the articles are academic.

Enjoy.

International Noise Wiki

Come help us build up the International Noise Wiki database. If nothing else, you can add an entry for your own noise project. Special thanks to Ichorous Jared (aka BagelNoise) for setting up this wikispace site but it is going to take a collaborative effort to get it up to par.

What's this "wiki" stuff, you ask? Well, according to the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikis are:

dedicated to encouraging the growth, development and distribution of free, multilingual content, and to providing the full content of these wiki-based projects to the public free of charge.

What makes wikispaces different is that:

We make wikis accessible to everyone, not just technical users. We provide a clean interface, a visual page editor, and a focus on community collaboration.

So even if you're not tech savy, please feel free to add any noise-related content to the site--it can always be edited later by someone else. Right now the space could just use content period, so even if just one noisehead, or fan of noise were to add one entry, that would be a help in getting the ball rolling.

So I'm asking each and every noise/PE artist to at least update an entry (or create an entry) for their own projects. Don't worry so much about the format as I'm sure once content gets added there will be communal decisions made as to what the overall format of the entries (and site itself) will be.

Help support the noise scene in a different way today--add an entry at the International Noise Wiki space so that others can begin finding information about all their favorite noise artists, releases and labels.

Harshnoise, NoiseMP3.com, and NoiseFX.com

*edit-Tim has informed me that NoiseFX.com is solely Bob's pet


Tim Oliveira (aka Stimbox) and Bob Scott Sato (aka Xome) created the Harshnoise website in 2001 as a place to find info about or post reviews about noise-making equipment. If you don't know what Noise Music is, then go away (No, just kidding), you might check out the Wikipedia entry about the genre.

harshnoise.com - effect pedals and music equipment for noise

Harshnoise.com contains information, pictures and reviews of musical equipment that might appeal to musicians who don't play common styles of music... like noise! We have over 1900 items on this site for your viewing pleasure and are constantly updating the site with new information and adding new features so visit us often! You can start by browsing equipment information by category or manufacturer below or you may want to try searching for equipment.

Tim and Bob also created the NoiseMP3.com site as both a site for the Harshnoise label and a site to host what they consider to be the some of the best Noise Music and "Noisicians" currently active (yes I am listed there if you were wondering).

NoiseMP3.com is the home of the Harshnoise music label and also serves as a digital archive of noise music in MP3 format by some of the world's finest noise artists. The site is frequently updated with fresh tracks and information, so check back often.

Being the enterprising noisicians that they are, Tim and* Bob also started the NoiseFX.com site where gear can be purchased.

NoiseFX sells pedal effects, synthesizers and related musical equipment for the musician who wants to make more noise!

Now that you have the resources, get some gear and make some more noise in the world.
