They were the most influential band during my teen years. From that point, everything else fell into place. At one point I was so into electronic industrial music that I began adopting the anti-guitar philosophy of Test Department. That didnt last long. The next major influence came with David Sylvians Secrets of the Beehive. I suppose these two musical styles represent the scope of what would become Noise Factory Records. As for the Noise Factory, it began as a college radio show on CHRY during the early 90s. The show played mainly industrial, electronic and ambient music. We had a couple of parties under the Noise Factory moniker, but once we graduated university it all kind of ended. Life began to play its cruel little game. I got a job at IBM and hated every day. So I started the label in 1996. I knew nothing about running a label, and I had no contacts but I had a good friend that was in a band, and wanted to put out an album. It made sense at the time and it still makes sense." "The Noise Factory is not made up of musicians or former record executives. The Noise Factory came into existence out of a need and desire for something new. We truly believe the music we represent is some of the most wonderful and beautiful music currently being made. Unlike many indie labels we offer a different viewpoint, one of the music lover and consumer." NAW www.noisefactoryrecords.com montreal native neil wiernik began his explorations in electronic music making as early as 1988. known to push the boundaries of his musical form, naws music is a blend of sound manipulation/design, experimental music and dub-tech rhythms, which on the surface sound quite simple, but incorporate a number of touches that steer this artist away from being simply another minimal techno or experimental laptop artist. he combines post-house, dubby minimal techno, microsound and thick ambience, to create his own version of deep techno, house and other electronic laptop oriented musics. neil has released music on various national and international record labels, including recent releases on clevermusic, pertin_nce, and his follow up full length to his 2002 noise factory release called green nights orange days. naw has recently returned from tours in france, germany, and canada. to co-enside with his recent releases on noise factory and clevermusic and plans to return to europe this summer for more tours including a performance at the now legendary sonar festival in barcelona, spain. naw is currently preparing a new release titled terrain vague for the pertin_nce label out of quebec city due for release in early April 2005. INTERCOM http://www.le-son666.com/intercom The electronic trio intercom will showcase new digital beats and crunchy noises (some of it could appear on their upcoming full-lenght) along with radical reworkings of their first self-titled cd. Dancing/trying-to-dance is recommended. And be warned: any boring chin-strokers will be shot on sight. Okay? Argon Floozy http://www.panospria.com/ A local sextet mostly comprised of members from the Panospria collective, Argon Floozy is their latest group project since Kokoro No Jojishi in 2003. On this evening they will construct and manipulate a sonic whirlpool of moody music and dense soundscapes with their unusual instruments and strange techniques.
