Jeph Jerman is a sound artist active since the early ’80s, known for his early work as HANDS TO, as well as groups such as CITY OF WORMS and BLOWHOLE, and now recording and performing under his own name. Jeph works with rough, raw, organic sounds - both played and captured - to create deeply penetrative work that defies easy categorization.

 
In this conversation, we talk about his early experiments with body sounds, his approach to recording and degradation, the importance of listening and attention, field recording, improvisation, and the evolution of his practice over more than four decades.

My guest this episode is Joe Wang of Outdoor Horse Shrine, a relative newcomer to noise who has already burned his name into many harsh heads registers with his intense and focused harsh electronic sound, touring extensively with Heat Signature, Being, and his duo with Brad Griggs, Psychic Sense Organs. During our conversation, we tried to pin down why we chase certain sounds, and revisit some fundamental yet Enigmatic questions about the nature of noise, along with lots about his history and current activities, like his label Secret Buddy and much more.

You can find the complete conversation as well as several unreleased Kyle Flanagan tracks on Patreon: https://patreon.com/whitecentipedenoise

Kyle has been an important part of the American noise underground for close to a decade, quietly influencing listeners and fellow artists alike with his personal brand of psychedelic noise and hands on participation, despite keeping a relatively low profile. He's been involved with the Dead Gods circle in New York and is now based in Richmond, Virginia.

In this conversation, we talk about psychedelia, his time living in New York at the height of Dead Gods, involvement in Crazy Doberman, the value of local and regional scenes, and the recording process behind several of his best-known releases, just to name a few topics.

R.I.P. James Cooke

While speaking with Egan Budd of Xiphoid Dementia on the podcast, he told me about a trove of interviews he recorded with noise artists for his Blood Ties webzine in the mid-2000s (later Existence Establishment). He’s generously shared the archive so these crucial documents won’t be lost.

Today my guest is Felix Erberth of Euronet, a noise project hailing from Malmö, Sweden. The project has a sparse but strong catalog of mechanical industrial noise with a unique atmosphere and aesthetic. One of my favorite noise projects that has flown under the radar of many, and since we've been pen pals for years, it was great to finally meet in person. Felix’s other passions outside of noise include hacking and puppetry. His animatronic and rod puppetry work can be seen at https://avgrund.net/. You can sample his noise at https://www.euronet-releases.com/

Felix joined me at WCN Studios in Potsdam for this interview, where we also recorded a live in-studio EURONET set that will be released on WCN TV at Patreon next week.

In addition to asking most of my guests their top 5 noise releases of all time, I usually ask them to tell me their top 5 noise of the past year, in order to learn about good shit that's going on right now, and help shine a light on it. In this episode, we compile many of the answers our guests have given us, going back to the first days of the podcast. Get out your pen and paper, then go hit up your local distros to track down some good noise.
