"Postmodern developments: Noise as genre"

Isn't this entire article about "noise" as a genre of music?--Ilovetopaint (talk) 15:43, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Electronic/Industrial Noise

There are the subgenres of Electronic/Industrial Noise, some which being Powernoise, Harsh Noise, Power Electronics, & Japanoise etc. However as far as Wiki categorization is concerned there is no distinction of Electronic/Industrial Noise from Noise Rock (though there is a Noise Rock page). So a lot of electronic based Noise groups that are not distinguished specifically as Powernoise or Japanoise etc. just get labeled as Noise. Which links to this page, which is way too wide of a categorization to distinguish what kind of Noise a band is specifically. Why is that? Obviously there is a major difference between Noise music that is made with electronics vs. acoustic instruments. Why is there no "Electronic and/or Industrial Noise" page? (If you search either of those, they are redirected to science articles) JanderVK (talk) 12:43, 9 April 2019 (UTC)

Popular music section additions

Needs mention of Red Krayola, the Godz and AMM. There are sources that cite these all as being precursors to noise music: https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-parable-of-arable-land-mw0000274607 https://www.allmusic.com/album/ammmusic-mw0000026381 https://www.sheilaomalley.com/?p=74217 https://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-godz-mn0000763611/biography https://www.psychedelicbabymag.com/2014/06/the-godz-interview-with-larry-kessler.html Aradicus77 (talk) 19:39, 5 May 2023 (UTC)

Lead definition

The lead initially defines noise music as the expressive use of noise in a musical context, but what does musical context mean when the music itself is the expressive use of noise? It’s a circular definition that is best remedied by removing the phrase “in a musical context.” 2603:6010:11F0:3C0:2823:29F5:3EED:2ACA (talk) 03:21, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Jimi Hendrix and other important artists

I would like to suggest the addition of Jimi Hendrix to this article. I find it somewhat appalling that popular artists like the Beatles and Lou Reed are mentioned here while Hendrix is omitted. The performance of the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock in 1969, at the very least, is a culturally significant moment in the history of noise music. Hendrix regularly engaged in noise music in all of his performances beginning in 1967, if not earlier. He was not only a pioneer in the use of high volume noise, feedback, distortion and other effects, but more than any other artist, he popularized the role of noise in contemporary music.

I am also wondering if any other Black, Latinx or other artists from historically underrepresented groups should be mentioned here. The free jazz movement does seem close in spirit, if not truly overlapping with noise music, and so luminaries such as Ornette Coleman, Pharaoh Sanders and Sun Ra might be important to mention.

In addition, the idea of noise as music is not far from the experiments with tape and synthesizers performed by important women artists like Delia Derbyshire, Daphne Oram, Maryanne Amacher, Pauline Oliveros and many others. If Stockhausen is going to be mentioned here, a few of these important women could be mentioned as well. 2601:644:600:41B0:6868:5049:A40A:851C (talk) 09:11, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
