Q: Why do you create music that most people would find unpleasant and undesirable to listen to, if they considered it music at all?
A: I make music that is designed to shock, but not in the rock and roll or transgressive art sense. tar xzvf shocks on an aesthetic and emotional level. Ideally, my audience is someone who has never heard noise music before, and thus the music would initially shock them, but then make them curious. Once music has made someone curious, they can then become accustomed to the lack of pleasantries, which opens them up to find deeper meanings in the music. It is an initiation out of the realm of "kitsch entertainment", into a world where authentic suffering can be experienced and liberate the person from the neuroses of postmodern hyperreality.
Q: Does this have cultural value?
A: If you are trying to undo social control to create a more authentic human experience, yes. If you are looking to manipulate the masses by presenting them with entertainment that engages their emotions on a shallow level, no.
Q: You sound like you are at war. What are you at war with?
A: I am at war with myself as built up by society first and foremost, and secondly with a mass mechanism of control in society that distorts reality for gain and to socially control.
Q: What is your level of education?
A: High school. I'm working class, just curious and creative.
Q: You speak of a 'mass mechanism of control that distorts reality'. Doesn't everyone know the media does this?
A: Yes, but they do not understand the extent that they are affected by it. Death is repeated on screens until it has no emotional impact on the consumer. It is considered as if there is something wrong with you if you don't watch the latest Netflix series, watch shows about crime to foster a shallow sense of simulated justice, listen to music that is so talentless and mass-produced that it corrodes the soul. If you critique any of it, you're commiting the ultimate sin: thinking you're better than someone else. The predomination of kitsch that follows the individual around keeps them in a constant state of shallow emotion, distraction, and conformity. This is dehumanizing, as it makes a person think that if they feel a deep emotion or are deeply moved by something that there is something wrong with them.
Q: Isn't noise "unwanted or meaningless sound"?
A: Perhaps we are not so much unwanted or meaningless sound as a vehicle to discover depth of emotion amid all of the meaningless sound around us.
