ok thats all for now. please answer as soon as you can. cheers, nenad

- First of all, introduce whole 910noise collective idea to our readers. How, where, when and why the whole story started?
910 Noise Collective
The numbers 910 represent our area code. The idea is to bring experimental & noise artists in the area together allowing them to express their art forms, exchange ideas, talk about gear, eat BBQ etc.

I spent many hours creating noise, strange, low brow tracks (whatever you may call them) over the last years all alone & never really knew how to find other people who saw the sound experiments as an art like I did. Then I saw 804 Noise in Richmond VA founded by Kenneth Yates 804noise.org. I really wanted something amazing like that here in Wilmington NC. I knew there had to be a way to bring noise artists together, so I started my own.

- What are the latest news in your collective?
New releases are the news for the collective. Here they are:

910-002 Mr. Stonecipher
An opposite turn from the first 910 Noise pro pressed disc. "3 - Codes" over 20 minutes of knob twisting by Mr. Stonecipher. Very limited 3 inch release featuring a hand painted insert with metal shavings included. Only ten copies were made. The release was given to chosen people only from the artist.

910-003 Baby Daddy
Baby Daddy is harsh noise by Mr. Stonecipher & Carl Kruger. Produced in Wilmington NC u.s.a.

We are recording a new release from experimental guitarist Jeff Chapple. Chapple plays live guitar for The Love Language myspace.com/thelovelanguage
This will be his solo recording, it will be a 10 disc release, a journey of sorts as described by Chapple. Production has started on the first 3 inch now.

Also related news:
Mr. Stonecipher has a collab coming out with notorious harsh harsh harsh noise artist from the Sinister & secluded hills if Oregon, IDX1274.
Entitled 1451 BLING.
Blinged out packaging (diamond blings and all) 21 minutes of well blend harshness.

Mastered in Oregon by IDX1274 & packaged in Wilmington NC. This release makes me tingle with joy.

this will not be an official 910 release but it will be given out because Mr. Stonecipher is a 910 guy.


- What have you done so far? I see few releases, it looks like you do some noise festival too.
We have held a few shows here and the response is quite good surprisingly.
We haven't held a noise fest as of yet. We were invited to play at the We Fest here which hosts all kinds of local rock type stuff. So it was fun. I would say that we are walking baby steps at the moment but the idea is growing & more artists are showing up wanting to do new things. So this is a positive thing for the art and 910.

- Any more acitivities?
I am in the search for a sound source that everyone can use at the shows, that we can take with us. I believe that if we carry our own sound source, we can play almost anywhere & not being so reliant on the venue per say. There are some things in the works for some activities soon.

- Listening to your first release 910noise vol.1 we could see that noise and experimental expression is very developed i Wimington. Can you give us a bit of experimental and noise history of Wilmington?
As far as the history of noise I cannot really say myself, I have only been living back here for the last 3 years. But I would definitely think that there were and are other people doing or have done experimental stuff here..? They just have to look us up on Myspace.

What was like in the begining and what it's like now? Simmilarities and differences?
- How does enviroment and Wilmington effects your noise? What is like living in Wilmington? Tell us something about town too..
Wilmington is actually a beautiful coastal town that is circled by the Cape Fear River. I would say most people enjoy their time here in this town. There aren't many noise shows to go to or anything like that but if you wanna see a 70's rock metal bands and that sort of thing if that is what you are into. There are some great & talented visual artists here as well.

- Just how often are shows in you hometown? Where can you perform usually? Do you have any clubs or you performe at art exibitions, performances, festivals,...
- What is reaction of wider audience? Are there many prejudice or people are open minded?
We are trying to do shows about once a month, although the summer is a busy time for everyone. So it dosen' t always work out. The audience seems fine with the noise. I mean they clap at the end of a performance and all. So I would assume that the people enjoy themselves. To be honest though the audience dosen't even matter, we do this stuff for our selves. If no one ever shows up then so be it.

- 910noise vol.1 was first release for obscura art & records. Now I see new releases 910 02 Mr. Stonecipher and 910 03 Baby Daddy. So, is 910noise sublabel of obscura art & records or what? Or 910noise's purpose is to release just 910area bands and Obscura has wider releasing plans? Just, how Obscura and 910noise collective are connected?

Obscura and 910noise are connected because I run both of them.
I use both outlets to push the information about things.

Obscuraart.com is involved with releases like the first 910 Compliation & also subbed out to an online label for digital distro

Another outlet I deal with is
Numberonenoise.com
Which is also another label that I run that deals in online sales of recordings

On Number One Noise we put out a release of some GREAT industrial/noise produced in Warsaw Poland by artist Wiracki

910 Noise is focused on releasing works and doing shows with 910 North Carolina area code noise artists only.

- On your profile I saw a lots of area organized collectives. Is that way of associating noise aritst popular lately in the States?
The nationwide noise collectives are broken down by the area code in which they live.

- For the end massage to our noise geeks here in Balkan countries. Last noise is yours!!!

I have made some great friends (brothers) with the start of 910 Noise here in NC and all over the world. Finally I can create with a few other people what I have always wanted to. The love of it crushes any wall of noise. For me personally it's been a wonderful experience. Heck all you need is a BBQ, don't they have that in the Balkans? Bet cha they have great beers!

Cheers to you!
Ryan.
