In this interview, Black Flower Music sits down with forum member Love&Pop and discusses his career in the field of being noisy. You can find some of his music on our forums, I do believe.
WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR PROJECT NAME?
My project has a name. That name doesn’t have a name. Though, ロリータ・バイブ責め, or rather, Lolita: Vibrator Torture. The ’77 pinku-eiga, you know? From Hisayasu Sato. The one with dildo raped acid melted schoolgirls!
What kind of music is it?
It isn’t music! It is noise.
HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU BEEN DOING MUSIC? WHAT ARE YOUR ORIGINS? INFLUENCES?
Noise.
Two years, maybe?, No wait, a little more. I started making raw black-death metal with a trash vein with some friends, lost them, rehersed with a grindcore band, splitted that, recorded a noisecore cdr, found out that girl was a bitch, decided to go on a solo.
Influences? ’77 Hardcore-Punk, Idol Pop, ’80s Trash Pop, Junk shit; Yamatsuka Eye, Alberto Camerini, Juntaro Yamanouchi, Diana Est, Nerorgasmo, Minamino Yoko – to name a few.
Are there any foods that stimulate your creativity?
Popsicles.
Do you have any sort of mission statement for making music?
“spraying the drug LSD from the sky”. No “”seriously”", never thought about a ‘mission statement’. It sounds quite lame. Sure i know every “”"”artist”"”" needs a ‘clear and succinct representation of the enterprise’s purpose for existence’, yet mine isn’t art. It’s shit. Thus, if i had to find a proposition to sell my stuff [ that's fairly impossible, because no-one ever wanted to release something i created because of my attitude and because there's no creative process what i make. ], i would go for that AxNxBx quote. It wouldn’t work as fine as most of the other’s reasons, ye, but then again ART IS OVER [ GxGxGxGxGx ], and if i had to choose between that and a “noise means uncomfortable sound, then pop music is noise to me” i would not befool myself so openly. The “music” is already hilarious enough.
Fuck you Merzbow.
Any “dream collaborations” that makes you weak in the knees to think about?
Junko Hiroshige is the only one i would like to make music, i mean, sleep, i mean, play a concert with. I tried to contact Guilty Connector in the past because he’s kind of cool, but japanese dudes seem to believe they can skip over questions only because of their Yamato pureness. But, you know what?, once a portuguese guy told me Yamato is the 13th tribe of Sion, the lost one, and i found out there’s been a rush on jewish affiliations during the 60-70-80s there, and that stupid Marxy jew blames his brothers only because he’s an outcast amongst outcasts, and even if i do believe, like one of the many Murakami said, that “Japan doesn’t have high culture, only subculture. Or rather, the high culture we do have is floating on a cloud, as invisible as the emperor. Apart from that there is just subculture, from Beat Takeshi to erotic mangas, and then the outgroup of the otaku, or hobbyists. I think we won’t need art and artists some day. That’s why Japan is the future[...]“, which makes Japan one of the two coolest places in this stupid world, i hate people who doesn’t answer to your questions. That’s highly unpolite.
On the subject of live concerts, what is your setup? Explain how your concerts usually go? Do you works yourself up, and the climax? Or keep a steady pace?
I only played four live shows, because no-one is interested in what i do, as i previously explained. I’ve also never had a brilliant setup, because i’m always broke even though i work, i feel the urge of buying shit and many many many books and hard drives, i get too pissed on burning dvds to store data and i’m sure i will regret this laziness of mine, but wait, the question wasn’t about informatical piracy.
Usually, i use a chain of random pedals through a mic, mostly distortion FXs, a delay, a compressor, a phaser, effects like these, and some junk stuff to destroy. I turn the knobs to the highest and lousiest volume i can, and i start to destroy what i have found here and there. Once i had nothing, so i smashed my pedals. The last time i smashed some beer bottles, but it seemed to me no-one liked that performance. Perhaps, it was because of the skirt. I will never know why. I cut my right hand but the venue owner wanted me to clean the space from the glasses that flew all around, luckily there was my wife to help me.
Oh, no climax or steady pace shit. The rare times i play, everything ends in 15 minutes at max. There’s no need to stretch it for half hours and on. They’re noise performances, harsh noise performances, you don’t have to prove you’re a good improviser/creator to anybody. The more harm and damages you can inflict to yourself as well as to people who carelessly came to give a look and a smile at you, the better. There’s nothing to laugh about. I hate people. I wish they all could be dead, except for my wife, my north dakota nihilist and cold friend, my chinese canadian friend, my fake cousin, and a bunch of musicians or whatever we should call them.
What instrumentation would you use?
Everything. From flutes to pitch shifting balloons [ NWW quote needed! ], AIDS life threatening bloody objects, sacks of menstrual mycosis, turntables, IKEA cheap stuff.
As long as what i pick can be destroyed, the show can go on.
Why the hell did you agree to this interview?
“The women of Thailand are so beautiful that they have become the hostesses of the Western World, sought after and desired everywhere for their grace, which is that of a submissive and affectionate femininity of nubile slaves – now dressed by Dior – an astounding sexual come on in a gaze which looks you straight in the eye and a potential acquiescence to your every whim. In short, the fulfillment of Western man’s dreams. Thai women seem spontaneously to embody the sexuality of the Arabian Nights, like the Nubian slaves in the ancient Rome. Thai men, on the other hand, seem sad and forlorn; their physiques are not in tune with world chic, while their women’s are privileged to be currently fashionable form of ethnic beauty. What is left for these men but to assist in the universal promotion of their women for high-class prostitution”.
Because you use a Hanna Montana picture. [ED: On the forum, the avatar of the author]
If you could drastically change your style of music, what would you change it to and why?
Idol pop tunes maker. Oh, i could work with so many cute pre-teen asian girls!
