White Centipede Noise Podcast

Ron Lessard is America's Greatest Living Noise Artist, and a legend if there ever was one. Between his pioneering label RRRecords, his alter ego EMIL BEAULIEAU, and his record shop in Lowell, Massachusetts, Ron is the embodiment of noise and an international treasure. In 2006, he quietly retired from performing live after years of tireless touring and recording. Now, to celebrate his 20 year anniversary of retirement, he returns for an interview "performance" on White Centipede noise Podcast.

Jeph Jerman is a sound artist active since the early ’80s, known for his early work as HANDS TO, as well as groups such as CITY OF WORMS and BLOWHOLE, and now recording and performing under his own name. Jeph works with rough, raw, organic sounds - both played and captured - to create deeply penetrative work that defies easy categorization. In this conversation, we talk about his early experiments with body sounds, his approach to recording and degradation, the importance of listening and attention, field recording, improvisation, and the evolution of his practice over more than four decades.

My guest this episode is Joe Wang of Outdoor Horse Shrine, a relative newcomer to noise who has already burned his name into many harsh heads registers with his intense and focused harsh electronic sound, touring extensively with Heat Signature, Being, and his duo with Brad Griggs, Psychic Sense Organs. During our conversation, we tried to pin down why we chase certain sounds, and revisit some fundamental yet Enigmatic questions about the nature of noise, along with lots about his history and current activities, like his label Secret Buddy and much more.
