Nine Inch Nails released today a new EP “Add Violence” with five new song. One of these new songs is called “The Background World” and is one of the noisiest from this new release. The song begins excellent with typical electronic and voice sounds from Trent Reznor. After 4 minutes, the song decay in a endless loop and becomes more brutal and noisier. At the end, you can no longer identify the song structure but you can only hear a wall of noise.
To create such crazy sounds, musicians and sound designers use effects like heavy distortions (Metasonix…), waveshapers, bitcrushers and other more experimental noise making machines. This new song really demonstrate well how such devices can destroy audio signals. If you are a talented musician /sound designer, you can achieve that such distortion can sound very musically even if it’s a big noise wall.
What kind of noise making tools do you use in your music production? Do you use plugins, apps or only hardware. Please let me know.
