Christmas popcorn tins are endlessly useful.
It is so validating to read this from someone else, ha.

Yeah. I don't understand that idea, either.

Fuck. I remember being 8 years old and I had a shoebox tape recorder. I would record anything and everything in tiny bursts: cars going by, birds, people talking in the house, the TV, etc. It wasn't about "Noise" or anything like that. It was just liking sounds, in and of themselves.

Then, getting into playing actual music (or trying to) and using that stuff for feedback, etc. That was the start. None of this "how are you supposed to make noise?" stuff. Just plug shit in and see what happens.

You might get some cool feedback sounds.

OR, you might unintentionally cook your stereo when you decide to create a feedback loop with it and a distortion pedal.

Find a guitarist who has some pedals and start a noise band with them.

For beginners this midi controller - is the best.
I sat and created these inscriptions completely forgetting that it is possible to print photos with names in the printing house, they will look much clearer and more beautiful, tomorrow I will do so and I will simply throw these out, I wasted my time.

You have eliminated the manufacturer's panel markings and not named the thing, so consider this a gentle poking with a stick (emoji not found).
When in doubt, add resistance.

Nice, thanks!

Oh, and for what it's worth - I think those labels that look made by hand would look cool, rougher around the edges than sleek manufacturing, but still cool.
