Ok, I always end up confused by these threads about noise. I gather, this being the SY messageboard, that the 'noise' in question is the one that uses tonal hysterics and high doses of volume to make itself heard. You know, like Non, Masonna. Incapacitants, Merzbow etc etc. Musique Concrete, tape manipulations etc are a different thing, people can argue all they like about that. There is plenty of proof that tells they are not the same thing, and this costant trying to contextualise all noise from the point of view of past aural history all the time I think misses the point and prevents people from simply enjoying what they hear.
