Magentize - Mytalio by sstn noise
In the second part of the SSTN Noise Series we have Magnetize, well known for his electro and techno productions for labels such as Mantrap, Trensmat, as well as the dronier material found here (found on Rimbauld Records ). The ferocity of Magnetize's live sound made many people leave the room when he played for us at an early Joy Gallery SSTN event, but those who stayed gained from their pain as delicious washes of distortion and modulating drones filled every nook and cranny of the space.
What are your reasons / motives for making music, and how you arrived at this style?
M: To be honest i never really thought about why i make music. i guess it has something to do with the full enjoyment of life depending upon creative activity. and as im hopeless at art / writing, music by default is my outlet. i started messing around with guitars in my teens but never really was bothered with learning zep solos, so through a combination of my own ineptitude and exposure and love of 'minimal' music - such as coil, suicide, stooges, la monte young, sonic youth, eno, monoton, etc.. - i grew a preference for texture/tone/dissonance/atonality.
What sort of environment it is intended for (home listening, really loud in a meat lorry, or whatever!) / intended effect on listener?
M: As loud as possible! groove...
What sort of equipment you use (e.g. computer, hardware, home made gear, circuit bent stuff etc.) do you use to make your sounds?
M: Yamaha DX-27, Jomox Sunsyn, Waldorf Microwave1, DSI Evolver, Jomox Xbase999, P3 Sequencer, Mutronics Mutator, Moog MF101, Frostwave Resonator, Boss RE-20, Lexicon LX1, Zoom 1204, FMR RNC, Mackie VLZ 1202 x 2
Typically sequences are created on the P3 to trigger the synths & everything is routed through four patchbays where the synths/fx/filters can be fed into each other in many different ways for maximum mangle potential. i usually just use the computer as a stereo recorder (through an apogee mini-me) and 'jam' for an amount of time on the sequence created (could be hours). this audio, if useable, is then edited down to make a track.
Any memorable noise-related incidents/ interesting gig anecdotes?
M: Noise is serious beardy-stroking business.
Info on upcoming gigs, preferred web address, releases etc.
M: At the moment im working on a remix for 'the last sound' which will be coming out on nute records (nuterecords.com). also working on new 'whirling hall of knives' material which hopefully should see the light of day sometime soon too.
You can hear a liveset Magnetize played for Second Square to None last year here.
