Theses on Noise 

I 

What the fuck is Noise? 

Precisely because of its indeterminacy noise is the
most sensuous human 
activity / practice. To try to fix it or to make it a
genre is as fucked 
up as believing in democracy. 


II 

If you make noise it is likely that somebody else is
going to hear you, 
this means Noise is a social activity. 


III 

The capacity to make Noise is available to all, but
its revolutionary 
potential comes from those who want to disturb the
commodification of 
Noise - as M.A.N point out in their website
www.mothersagainstnoise.us. 


IV 

To say ?this is good Noise? or ?that is bad Noise? is
to miss the point. 


V 

Noise without meaning nor finality is revolutionary as
long as it does 
not support anything or anybody. 


VI 

This is not to say that Noise under capitalism can be
an autonomous 
activity. But if neither language nor bombs help you
to destroy our 
reality, Noise helps us to get rid of our anxiety. 


VII 

It is more important to fuck the minds of the audience
than to fuck your 
ears - and vice versa. 


VIII 

The identity process that occurs as people are making
Noise must be 
constantly rejected. To be a ?Noisician? is even more
pathetic than to 
be a ?musician?. 

IX 

Factory workers in the previous centuries have
indirectly been the most 
sustained and brutal players of Noise. Recognition of
our past should 
always be present. 


X 

Economic exploitation still occurs, even if now the
production of Noise 
does not produce an object. The process of Noise
making has in itself 
become the object of financial and symbolic market
value. 


XI 

The old conception of noise was to believe in freedom,
the new 
conception of Noise is to achieve freedom.
