about

This song is a Test (hence the name) at making Noise Music (and all the other genres that overlap with it). The reason we chose to make Noise Music as well as the reason why we admire it so much is because:

1. It is, by definition, Radical and Revolutionary
2. It is relatively easy to make (at least in regards to other types of music which requires Music Theory, practice, ability to play an instrument etc.)
3. Basically no-one else is doing it in Australia

It is the first time we have ever tried composing Noise Music and is also essentially the first time we have ever tried composing Music (after a few false starts). The Music was made entirely from sampling small clips from the Death Grips song: Cut Throat (Instrumental). It took about a week to make. The song was composed in Adobe Audition using simple cutting, volume adjustment, making the sound faster/slower, and layering sounds on top of one another. The song is separated into different sections in which different types of sounds are produced in different styles and we plan to make a full album that expands these individual sections into full songs. Near the end of the song, we start making more-or-less beat style compositions (as in EDM etc.). We could’ve made an almost unlimited amount of sounds from these small clips, but then we would be working on this one song forever, so we figured we’d release it after a week as an experiment. Due to this, we’ve also made a quite basic cover art for it (we plan on making more complex cover art for our later releases).
