Today is Father’s Day and possibly no other noise artist tackles the idea of fathers better than Sudden Infant. It was over 2 years ago the last time Sudden Infant played Boston under the Existence Establishment banner but with a point at the 13 minute mark that simply asked a question “What do you know about a good father?” Joke Lanz – the man behind the project – raised an interesting and poignant question for our generation. What does being a father really mean? Can we still be freaks? Can …
Here is a recent video posted by Rob Beckham of Providence artist and frequent Existence Establishment guest Timeghost performing live May 28th, 2014 at The Rat Snake Lodge in Nashville, TN. Although the audio quality isn’t the best the video manages to capture the intensity of Timeghost’s performances aptly.
Timeghost exists as a method to explore circuitous patterns and synchronicity in electricity, sound, and lifetime. Performances range from light & video meditations to song-based, post-industrial crooning. On recording, compositions are informed by architecture, dream states, history, alienation, the occult, …
Climax Denial/The Rita – Preparing for Pointe C40
Lake Shark
I have grown to appreciate The Rita’s persistent use of salient themes for his work, be it skateboarding, or in this case, ballet. Joining the fray is creepy harsh noise stalwart Climax Denial. The result is a very densely packed blast of ebbing conversation pieces.

Death Jenk – s/t CD
Phage Tapes
This Phage Tapes offering consists of four tracks of swelling feedback assaults, and damaged vocals which hang somewhere in the background, surrounded by synthesizer and distorted drum machine treatments. I appreciate this type of chaotic harsh noise because it seems to lack any major over-thought and any opportunity for obvious high-falutin conceptual morass. It instead relies on a nice palette of crushing sounds.
This album goes in head first as furiously as possible, concept or no concept.
The first two tracks bleed into each other seamlessly, sometimes stuttering …
Alan Courtis & Cyrus Pireh – Uritorco C32
Dumpsterscore Home Recordings
The flavor of the day is experimental noise and if you don’t like it I suggest you skip this one. Side A is lo-fi and awkward and gives us have moments of harsh noise in Yek and much guitar fuckery featured in both Do and Seh. This type of stuff is wholeheartedly not my kind of thing but I can imagine it will appeal to some.
Side B starts off on a more solid note with Chaahr a short industrial field sample. …
