Comment:
I am aware of the fact that a very great part of people are terrified
possibility that they have to listen to noise music. Let’s imagine
such a dystopic universe or planet where they have to deal with it.
However, noise music was probably one of the first protest music
genres stepping against war and decay in general within the Western
culture area. It was very clever to attack the adverse phenomena of
the Western civilization in a provoking manner and frequently with
their own attributes in a slightly bent way. Furthermore, it is a
kind of music because of being articulated and composed. For
instance, let’s listen to this handful of pieces to make out of how
much elements is going to happen throughout the course. This is a
play on different levels, playing with intensity, playing with stereo
effects and timbres, playing with terror and silence. More
profoundly, it starts off with a brown-hued flow as if having no
equilibrium between the two channels therefore by searching for it
the soundscape begins to swing. In the third composition those
brownish bits are all of a sudden saturated by more shrill and higher
frequencies and subsequently timbres changing its course from muddy
field to abandoned junk yard full of metallic garbage. I guess to be
submerged by these sounds might have been very inspiring for such
geniuses like Edgar Allan Poe, and HP Lovecraft if they had lived
nowadays. At first glimpse one may see the austere formalism behind
the sounds but by listening to it more carefully one can perceive
fleshed out emotions and sensations behind those menacing
developments. And there is also enough place for full-fledged
fantasies. For instance, at times it chimes like an audible
representation to depict a monstrous octopus moving on a the bottom
of the ocean to find out the slot to surface and then devastatingly
attack. The last piece is an intense chugging due to spasmodic bass
frequencies, however, being buried and veiled appealingly. The
mind-provoking issue is a notch in the discography of Azawad.
