I'm a musician, yo.

What genre is that?

I feel like slamming my head against the wall.... repeatedly. 

I've never been able to get into noise or drone (or whatever the hell you're going for). TBH I think most of it is total crap. I'm pretty open minded, but I've never been able to get into those genres and I stopped trying long ago. There are only a couple of drone albums that I actually enjoy. It's probably because my favorite type of music is ambient and relaxing music. I even have CDs of nature sounds (they are extremely relaxing to me) that I sometimes put on to fall asleep. Say what you want about my beloved nature CDs, but I just love to close my eyes and let the music (or sounds) take me away. Although I have to say noise and drone have always interested me because it supposedly evokes the same feelings in people that I get when listening to my relaxing ambient stuff. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

why would you ever do that, were in the modern age, please dont use analog anymore, its not good

I admit it it doesn't qualify as music, but it's some trippy shit I'll give you that, I actually listened to the entire thing. Like listening to Wolf Eyes, you know it's shit, but it's weirdly hypnotic sometimes. 

How do you get a musician on demand? Order a pizza.
 
I found that one funny because I know a bunch of people that are unemployed or doing some really low end job but claim to be musicians. (read: in a really shit band/making terrible music in their bedroom)

Agreed, but musicians start from somewhere right?

I really love the chord progression in "Japanese Arcade." It's a really strong drive but with a kind of early Leo Kottke vibe to it. 
 
just kidding it's a really pretentious attempt at making avant-garde music without actually understanding how noise as a genre is performed

I think the term music should be applied to anything intended to be both music and an acoustic experience. John Cage's 4'33 was a reaction to hearing his own blood cells rush past his ears in the world's first silent room, he decided that the sounds of the body working was the subject of the piece. No rhythm, harmony or melody in sight. The only possible relation to commonplace music might have been structure. 
 
A whole genre of classical music was born out of making music without instruments and typical rules etc. Electroacoustic music. An example is found here. 
 
The last word on music is this. 
 
  

I listen to some odd things, and I would never listen to this. The Johnny Cage Sonata was kind of cool though.

For some reason, this thread reminds me of that Onion story where Pitchfork Media gives a 6.8/10 review to the concept of music in general.

This is fucking awful.

The first one sounds like my car.

My music.  

I seriously hope this is a joke thread. 

You calling yourself a musician for that is like calling Glenn Beck a Journalist.

OMG amazing.

Shits bad.

Man, listening to them all at once... Was a bad choice.

Maybe I'm just viewing it with rose-scented goggles, but i'm very happy about this one

What is this? Like... industrial something? Sorry but I'm not into it, maybe if you get rid of that prolonged base sound you seem to put on all of them or maybe as the background sound of a surreal scene in some movie.

You're not a musician yo!

At first I thought maybe my laptop speakers broke, then I thought I needed to update my browser. Now Idk what to think

No, you're not.

that's really cool man, don't worry about all the negative just focus on the positive

fuck you guys this owns
 
chris, don't let these miseryfucks get you down. this is the kind of shit you want to do, then do it. just because the most musical interaction these fools have ever had involved listening to britney spears their dick and their sister's oboe doesn't mean they know shit.
 
keep up the good work

This seems to me like Troll music.  That is, music that is not pleasing in any way shape or form, but seems made for the sole purpose of making others hesitatingly admit that it is indeed music.

Honestly I'd rather listen to the trance mission from Rez more than what you are offering personally.  As random as it is, you could see some effort being made to make it sound the way it is.

Bs, when you have them decks, you have the setup, you have the speakers. the can make music. Not 1 of my cares tbh, but i  can still enjoy musuc made from dj's (purly alone) maybe not common in america.

I'm a little late to this thread, but goddamn, this shit is good.

The only time I like noise is in the NIN album "The Slip." The last JCS song reminds me of strange music I love on the Akira movie. I think you're music is more suited for movie soundtracks, something that can make the audience's heart speed up, or make them hold their breath with the suspense of the story. Listening to your tracks as music, I don't find them very enjoyable personally, but like I said, if you're seriously into this you could give some films that little bit of edginess they need.
