sound : Feedbacker Part 4 - Boris
The sound of guitar feedback soothes me.
I am not saying that I find any noise soothing, just ambient (ambient-ish to be more precise) noise. I find peace standing next to the huge circuit board in the stock room at work. The droning sound of electronics brings my mind to peace. Any time I am with a dumbass customer I go and stand next to the circuit breakers for a few seconds to calm myself down. Why droning noises soothe me, i know not.
In our world of processesed sounds and cheese I find solace in the droning noises of our surroundings and.... AND in the simulated nightmare-scapes created by the many Sludge, Drone, Ambient and Dark Ambient artists around today. I won't waste time in naming these before-mentioned artists but let me tell you this; the path to discovery is much more fun than anything you have ever experienced, and that goes to all the people faking orgasms daily just so that they can boast to their water dispenser buddies that they are godly beings, a gift to mankind even.
For generations the human animal has surrendered to order and repetition for peace and understanding. Religious chanting and prayer is one of the finest examples of people finding peace through repetitive noises and activities. Tribal drumming seems pleasing to most of us for the same reason. Even mentally handicapped individuals take pleasure in repetitive patterns, it's not just that these patterns cause a feeling of well-being in the individual; these patterns bestow a feeling of security (note: the mothers heartbeat) in the individual.
Now let us take this "pattern" one step further. Remove almost all rhythm. Noise. Sounds. Aural sight.
Peace... Security... Safety... Well-being....

Listen, learn, love, live.
