I have been in the lab experimenting with noise and sound lately, and the result is a little bit weird. I have been introduced to some new music recently (See Mike Patton), and I have felt a little inspired to go off the beaten track and just let the sound do what it wants. I [...]
If you haven’t heard the loud static-y synths and delayed screams in and around Lawrence lately, you probably are already deaf, or in a trance. All that noise is due to the fact that local sound freaks, Spirals Over Norway(SON), have been rocking at least weekly and writing music like a rabid dog bites neighbors. [...]
Its been three whole days since we (Spirals Over Norway) have practiced, and its killing me. All I can seem to think about is playing music, and the next practice isn’t happening until this coming Sunday. That’s alright though, for on Friday, Bobby and I are going to get together and plug in the synths, [...]
So we have had our second Spirals Over Norway band practice and it went extremely swell! We worked on our song(It needs a name! Any ideas?) that we posted last week and flushed out what we didn’t like and added some new stuff we did like! We also worked a little bit on Brosef Stalin, [...]
So, let me tell ya’ about a crazy Friday night in which three friends got together and made some extreme sounds…
It was a typical Friday night. The blizzard that covered Lawrence in white chilling hatred turned black, was melting into the depths of the unknown. Here in the Haunted Graveyard, we set up our meager [...]
Here’s a song that I recorded in the old location the Tavern was at. I found it rummaging through old recordings of last summer! Hope you enjoy…it must have been a bad day at work when I recorded this one! Just some guitar, drums, and vocals I fucked around with one day.

“We have to create culture, don't watch TV, don't read magazines,don't even listen to NPR, create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are now is the most immediate sector of your universe, and if you're worrying about Michael Jackson or Bill Clinton or somebody else, then you are disempowered, your giving it all away to icons, icons which are maintained by an electronic media so that you want to dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion, and what is real is you and your friends and your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And we are told 'no', we're unimportant, we're peripheral. 'Get a degree, get a job, get a this, get a that.' And then you're a player, you don't want to even play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers who want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that's being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world.” by Terence McKenna
This here is a nice little soundboard to generate different sounds such as applause, baby’s crying, orgasms and what not. Mix and match for weird combination’s!
A great blog showcasing great music. Not the typical mainstream music force fed to the grazing sheep, but interesting talented and rare music that comes from outside the box.
