"whatintheworldisthisnoisemix" -- 68 minutes
This mix is totally unlike any of the others I've done.
The backstory: a few months ago, I set about ripping some of my hundreds of CD's that are stored at my parents' house. These are kept in several large, album cases with the discs and liner notes.
But some discs don't have liner notes. Perhaps there was a printed back cover of the jewel case that has since been lost. And some discs have little or no information printed on them, and aren't recognized by CD naming software. In the years 2003-2006, I bought a lot of noise and experimental music CDs on my many visits to Berlin, but haven't heard some of them since that time, and can't remember anything about them (e.g. artist name, album title, etc.)
That brings us back to the mix ... I don't have a clue what any of this music is. I have a vague recollection of buying this album (a two CD set with 34 total tracks) but can't remember a things about it besides that. I haven't the slightest idea who the artist(s) could be. Perhaps a time track search could turn something up?
I probably never listened to the entire two plus hour collection even when I bought it. So after quickly skipping through all 34 tracks to categorize them roughly in order of noisiness, I recorded this mix. One take, no redos, no edits, just instinct.
Even after distilling this music from 130 minutes down to a little less than 70, it's still a rough, chaotic, disorienting listen. But I think it's something you can get lost in -- provided you like noise.
