Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
Noise music is a genre of music that uses unconventional sounds in performances. In Malaysia,
many performers use the analogue approach including instruments such as guitar pedals,
contact microphones and metal objects to perform noise music. The analogue approach limits
the possibilities of composing more noise music compared to the digital approach of sound
manipulation and audio signal processing today, available through programmes such as Max. The
objective of this research is to explore and critique Max as a digital platform for noise
music production. This research aims (I) to identify techniques of producing noise music through
Max (2) create noise music using Max (3) perform noise music produced by Max. This
research utilised the self ethnography and practice-led approach including composing,
performing, reflecting and revising. Research outcomes show that Max can replicate most
of the analogue approaches used in producing noise music. In addition, it has the capacity for
creating more sound expression to produce noise music using techniques
such as randomisation, audio panning, time-based event and real-time audio processing.
In conclusion, Max has the capacity of producing noise music but it is not user friendly or
effective as a self-taught programme. This research recommends users to learn this
programme under an instructional approach prior to producing noise music.
