MANCHESTER
UK NOISE FESTIVAL

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

NATURAL SCIENCES Embryo issue #6. Pale World and Y Gwacter interview for @negative_output @naturalsciencesrecs. DM me for the full interview.

Can you give Embryo a quick origin story for anyone new to your work?

Joe Parkes [Pale World]: I started Pale World back in 2013, which was predominately ambient and continued to go down a harsh noise trajectory (following a collaboration with Blackcloudsummoner in 2020), performing live and releasing material on labels such as Brachliegen Tapes, Outsider Art and Venalism.

Angharad Jones [Y Gwacter]: I'm a visual artist and started collaborating with Joe last year. We combine our disciplines to create textural noise compositions derived from live painting in real time.

Joe: Pale World and Y Gwacter is a new project and a step into new territory. I was inspired by a collaboration between Shredded Nerve and Jackson-Pratt. There was a clip I saw of them both painting on contact mic’d canvases and this was used as the main source of the sound. Angharad was on board and brings her own take to painting live.

Are there any major themes running through your work?

Angharad: There’s strong themes around cyclical reflection and its documentation. Our respective practices are very introspective, it’s interesting to see how they come together in one form when we’re together. The project delivers an inter-disciplinary loop between sight and sound, each informing the other, in a performance that documents itself.

Negative Output line up shows a healthy noise scene, but what are your thoughts on it in general and what gets your blood pumping?

Joe: It's a very exciting time for noise. I’m grateful to be able to meet artists that inspired my work, such as FLAW, where I met Joe Roamer. His approach to making Noise has been a massive influence and getting to chat to him and experience the OVMN set was life affirming.

Angharad: There’s so much innovation, and a real resurgence of new projects alongside our favourite pioneers. Promoters also play a critical role in contributing to a healthy noise scene- it’s important that they showcase diversity in their line-ups and Negative Output have shown meaningful curation here.

With no other shows booked, Negative Output was my last live appearance with Geseling this year.

These coming months I'm looking to finish work on the Geseling debut cd and some split/collab releases which have been long overdue. There are also a few more live outings with ASCH coming up before the end of the year.

I'm always open to bookings for 2027 (both with Geseling and ASCH), feel free to hit me up with any offers.

Thanks to @nightportersound and @mustekuningas for the snippets of my set.

Negative Output was nothing short but amazing. 2 days of outstanding live sets by all involved. From start to finish everyone delivered, be it the performing projects, the N.O. crew or The White Hotel's very capable technical crew.

A special shoutout goes out to Lucifer Sky and Petrichor for opening both days and setting the bar for everyone to follow.

Thanks again to Matt and Scott for flying me over and taking good care of everyone. This scene needs people who are willing to take risks to allow for something so important and new to grow. Last but not least congratulations to the UK for having an amazingly new festival which is being run for all the right reasons. If you missed out this year.. you better get your ass to the next one!

@negative_output you were astonishing!!! I knew that this noise festival would be amazing but even this went above and beyond my high expectations, it was a dream. So many friends that I adore were in one place, I never felt so at home and met so many new lovely people and those noise family members who were present, you know who you are mean so much to me, you’re the reason why I’m here!!! Far too many beautiful sets happened, all different and all meant something to me, I was put into genuine tears a number of times. A handful of people I never thought that I would see live as well which was mind-blowing. I put on so many artists who played this bill so it felt so much more special to me, it felt like what I do matters

Special shout-out to @viimeinen_ for the lift, thank you so much and my heart goes out to him and also @indira_lucifer_sky , @fleshlicker_ and @distraxi_ for the joyous hang and making me always feel safe and welcome. My first time in Manchester was a success

Lastly thank you so much to @swole_hnw and @slo_ughed for putting this on, you achieved utter perfection and made every moment matter!!! A very Happy Birthday to them both

Negative Output forever, I hope you happen again but if that’s it, in my mind it will never stop. The more awful the music, the more beautiful the people!! Love the noise family, love my life, love you all!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️xxx

P.S: If anyone wants a clip from their set, message me and I’ll be happy to send it to you all
