MAKE NOISE - SMASH FASCISM

as expected the so called discussion on the matter brought up by me and other vectors in the finnish scene & 'punk in finland' forum is dominated by ignorant trolls who pretend to have a discussion, while pushing aspa+co's releases in the same forum in other threads. it is a farce, but i expected nothing less of this place. clearly these discussions need to be held in other places and must be followed by consequences instead of another long phase of silence. more labels and venues need to be confronted with what kind of affiliations they platform and by that help to get another step closer into the accepted realm of culture and politics. it seems like when just a few singular voices are bringing such these topics, it is just ignored and when these voices do not even speak the local tongue, the 'outside agitator'/tourist stamp is easily applied and the hope for the un-disrupted business as usual seems to dominate. this all does not only apply to the PE / harsh noise genre, but also the psychodelic spectrum in which for example crypto fascist anti-semites are welcomed contributors. in times of raising fascism on national (the finnish government might become a coalition of conservative capitalists with the fascist PS party) and global level, we need to attack the creeping plague on all levels in our lives. MAKE NOISE - SMASH FASCISM

ps: it must be clear by now, that fascism is a creepy monster that acts hand in hand with patriarchy, white supremacy and all it's nasty offspring, like trans- and homo-hatred, misogyny, anti-BIPOC racism, ableism, and so forth. this must be clear: #antifascism is a catch all phrase that must include the above.

here's reference to previous post on the topic: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17933103824230502/

and if you speak finnish, you might want to get a glimpse of the state of the local 'discusion' in the PIF forum. keep your vomit-bucket ready.

Good news: the next #TotesFormat release will be a split-tape of RADIO FREE UL-QUOMA (@rustpunks) + COLDSORE with a deluge of acoustic near future disaster dystopias. Stay detuned.

Tapes + CDs ONLY available today from STERILE RECORDS bandcamp.

These recordings are part of the POLLUTANT series, informed by the ongoing destruction of earth in the name of civilization in the name of greed and the fantasy of supremacy that must be ended.

Compared to the previous parts of this series, this one is rather quiet and melancholic - a sombre mixture of drum'n'drone with a few environmental recordings including those of acoustic instruments played in oppressive urban spaces for donations and a processed guitar recording of my friend P., that has been written during the eviction and destruction of the Hambacher Wald in favor of the ever expanding motorway network, a clear invitation to the fossil-fuel/rare-earth guzzling automobile culture to persist and by that continue to destroy this earth. I myself have tried for many years to defend some of the last remaining patches of forests and it’s inhabitants against these motorway expansions, that not only slice the habitats of wildlife into tiny pieces, but that are also the veins that pump the toxic sludge of capitalist trade, extraction and exploitation into the most remote places.

Power + Solidarity to all Forest / Land defenders + Water protectors.


RESIST TO EXIST

DIRTY DRONE DISTORTION - a doom drone stompbox (3rd batch)

This one is for heavy doom drone sounds, no matter if you run your stringed instruments (electric guitar/bass/etc) or a synth through it, the Dirty Drone Distortion will add 10 tons of weight to it. It is housed in a sturdy aluminum enclosure, hand-painted with ‘industry burnout’ camo patterns in black and silver. The circuit is a modded vintage SUNN MODEL T preamp based distortion with HIGH and LOW control and a build in duo-oscillator DIRTY DRONE section. MIX control blends the DRONES with the pedal’s input, before the distortion kicks in. But the machine can also be used as a stand alone drone synth, if you fancy. Each oscillator has a FREQUENCY control for and a WAVEFORM toggle-switch for TRIANGLE and SQUARE wave selection. The upper toggle has 3 positions, the middle position disables that oscillator, if a single non-overlaping waveform is desired. The third toggle engages the EXTREME DISTORTION mode when flipped to the right. (NOTE! this is not explained or shown in the 1st demo video, since i have changed this function after recording it.) The NORMAL DISTORTION (toggle left) results in the wonderfully saturated distortion this circuit is famous for. The right stomp-switch with indicator LED is the DRONE KILL switch, it engages or shuts down the oscillators completely for hands-free operation. The left stomp switch is the TRUE BYPASS with it’s own indicator LED (the LEDs are violet/UV and lime green, order my vary). VOLUME attenuates the global output level (BEWARE: the pedal is VERY loud!). Powered by 9V DC via a ‘boss-style’ 2.1mm DC socket (negative pin inside). Power supply not included. Handmade by GRM for Metsään.

Some demovideos can be found from youtube or the Metsään website.

@kevin i am very familiar with that and the fact that these early actors have found a fruitful ground in the white dominated scene and are partly still memorialized as pioneers, when others who have always spoken up are mostly forgotten.

it is the responsibility of us who are somehow interested in noise to speak up and to create a climate that, is not a safe space for fascism, misogyny and the like.

#anarXnoise

me screaming into the void, got a bit of traction over here at IG. even though it is tiring, i think it is worth doing it sometimes, as the discourse is important in many situations.

In connection to today's noise gig at @kirjakahvila, i have send them some messages on IG (slightly edited below). as #kirjakahvila is one of the few place dear to me, i think an open discourse on these issues is especially important. Like with many other venues (bookers, artists, labels) in finland, i really think we need to have this conversation ASAP, as the 'fascist creep' doesn't sleep.

"i think people who continue to work with known fascists for a long time, have some explaining to do before they are invited to play in spaces, that claim opposing political positions. the normalisation of fascism that is done by these artists should be challenged and not platformed. i have been writing a little bit on this matter in my MAKE NOISE highlight, in case you care to read. also very happy to talk about it more.

i refer to the work with mikko aspa of freak animal label. in general finnish people seem to do not care much about these ties and it is a problem, as aspa is 'snatching up' more and more young artists from the field to his label.
which which besides himself openly supporting PVL and other white supremacists, is a cesspool of fascist, misogynist and pro-child abuse material, in case you/the bookers have not been aware of it.

i hope more people than me, are bringing this issue up. having these acts play under the banners that you put up devalues antifascist poster posing and is an integral part of how fascism is historically operating: creeping (into every place possible) and manipulating. these artist, even though they will continue to claim they are 'antifascists' and at the same time working with them need to be confronted criticized and most likely educated. none of this states that they actually are fascists, but so far it seems that they have been ignoring the critique, most likely because it comes from mostly non-finnish speakers like me.

silence is violence, pretty much sums it up (not just) for the finnish noise scene.

thanks for reading."

IN SOLIDARITY!

jani hirvonen aka uton of magma tones from finland, going full #Qanon? there's been a tendency of this in some of hirvonen's work before, yet the projects seem to be widely welcomed in more left leaning experimental circles.

Stop normalizing fascism, in the noise scene and everywhere else!
