Topic: Escape From Noise


  
  Noise (1)
Noise means meaninglessness, though it did not yet for Shakespeare, in which the word noise was not so closely associated with the noisome and the noxious as it is for us.
Perhaps we escape from noise by relegating it to the condition of the meaningless, the deathly.
Children communicate in the secret dialects of mechanical noise; the chattering and gargling of machine guns, the whine of aeroplanes, the squeal of tyres, the creak of hinges, the whooping and brayings of sirens.

 5.3 Escape noise
In both cases, we are interested in the effect of the noise on the distribution of interspike intervals.
On the other hand, at very high noise levels, the modulation of the interval distribution would be much weaker.
Thus a certain amount of noise is beneficial for signal transmission.

 WZBC recommends ... Negativland's Escape
Because it was the 1987 album, Escape From Noise, that would define the members as a band and enshrine them as cult rock icons.
It was an argument over one of Escape's songs, "Christianity is Stupid," that inspired the kid to kill his mom and dad.
Escape did it all, violating musical structure and mainstream taste, pushing the envelope as far as one band can push it.

Escape From Noise (1987; see also 1987 in music) marked Negativland's first break on a "name-brand" independent record label, SST Records.

Escape From Noise features the best independent vocal electronica, including genres such as synthpop, electropop, futurepop, darkwave, electronic body music (EBM), electronic industrial, electronic avant garde, and vocal strains of techno, trance, jungle, and house.
The gist of EFN is that if the music is synthetic and the voice is real, it's fair game.

Negativland always intended the original EFN artwork to be for the LP format only, and were never happy with the "original" painted cover image reduced to such small size on the first CD issue.
The new version features that artwork full size as the front cover, with the remainder of the artwork reformatted throughout the package by ace designer Dan Lynch (http://www.sp3d.com).
The new version of EFN is NOT remastered or remixed in any way, save for the addition of some CD mastering tomfoolery, nor is there ANY extra material added.

 TrouserPress.com :: Negativland
Escape From Noise attempts to answer a musical question — "Is there any escape from noise?" — and parody a perfect pop product.
As inspired propagandists coming to terms with an ability to manipulate the truth, Negativland shifted their mindfuck campaign to a higher plane with Helter Stupid, turning Escape From Noise's "Christianity Is Stupid" into a full-fledged prank that backfired into a success beyond their wildest dreams.
Wielding a hoax press release as its weapon, Negativland implied that the song might have been responsible for inspiring the murder of a Minnesota family, and that was all it took.

 Ferrari Set to Escape Noise Ban
A new legislation is expected to limit the noise level at Italian racing circuits to 70 decibels next month, but Ferrari's testing programme looks set to escape the new rules.
The law is intended to reduce the noise pollution throughout Italy, but an exception will be granted in order to allow the Monza and Imola circuits to hold Formula One events twelve days each year.
It was initially thought that Ferrari's testing programme at Mugello and Fiorano could be affected by the new legislation, especially considering the Italian outfit tests there more than 100 days a year.

 RollingStone.com: Escape From Noise : Negativland : Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Many of the tracks feature obliquely satirical vignettes; on others, collages of found sounds are laid over mechanistic backing tracks.
The seventeen cuts average about two minutes long, and they teem with little snapshots of sound – no wonder this profoundly weird and funny antirecord took four years to make.
It starts off with a Big Brotherish announcer intoning, "The cut that follows is the product of newly developed compositional techniques based on state-of-the-art marketing-analysis technology." The song turns out to be a robotic rhythm track littered with cartoon sound effects from the depths of our Saturday-morning collective unconscious.

But as he dropped, the spur of his boot became caught in the American flag draping the box, and he fell awkwardly onto the stage, breaking his leg.
Despite his injury, Booth managed to limp to his horse and escape, and the mortally wounded and paralyzed President was taken to a house across the street, now called the Petersen House, where he lay in a coma for some time before he quietly expired.
Abraham Lincoln was officially pronounced dead at 7:22 AM the next morning, April 15, 1865 (Easter Saturday).
