Jim Haynes flawlessly conjures the sounds of magnets, motors, and raw electricity in his heavy industrial noise compositions that are simultaneously austere and evocative. Rust, both as a methodology and a philosophy, explicitly permeate his sound and visual works. In this interview, Jim discusses his recent work, shares stories of his involvement in the San Fransisco sound art world, details on how he does what he does, and touches on the ultimately very human essence of his work. Explore his works as well as his eclectic label The Helen Scarsdale Agency at https://helenscarsdale.bandcamp.com/

In the Patreon exclusive EXT. segment of this interview, Jim tells about his complicated personal relationship to the late artist Zbigniew Karkowski, and lists his top 5 noise and experimental releases of all time, as well as his 5 favorite contemporary non-noise musical artists.

CUSTODIAN IS BACK. Jon Engman is well known for his long involvement in extreme music - as a drummer for death metal bands such as Brodequin and Foetopsy, and for his cold crushing harsh noise project CUSTODIAN, which has sadly been on hiatus for the past several years. Now with new releases on the horizon and a tour in Japan next spring culminating in the Machine Parts 2 Festival in Tokyo, Jon and I caught up about what he's been up to since we last talked on the podcast, and what this current incarnation of CUSTODIAN is all about.

This week's episode is our monthly WCN Video Party! On the last weekend of each month, we have a video party, where previous podcast guests and Patreon supporters get together to talk about noise and whatever else comes up. The meetings are recorded recorded and shared over Patreon, but I decided to make this week's party open to the public!  Join in on the next one: https://www.patreon.com/whitecentipedenoise

Greh Holger has been a pillar of international noise since the early 2000s, running the prolific label Chondritic Sound, recording and performing heavy synth-based noise as HIVE MIND, and being an admin of the iheartnoise message board, a community space that was essential to the noise scene at that time. Since then, he has stayed active with his label, numerous recording projects, and formed Noisextra Podcast, a show that is a staple of contemporary noise media. It was great to be able to put Greh on the other end of the interview process and pick his brain about his history and activities.

In the Patreon exclusive EXT. to this interview, Greh goes into detail about the synths, gear, and recording techniques he uses HIVE MIND and BLACK SAND DESERT. Greh also shared download codes for his most recent HIVE MIND album Elysian Alarms with the Maniac's Circle, as well as an exclusive live recording of BLACK SAND DESERT, from August 19, 2023 at Coaxial in Los Angeles.
