Default "noise" genre

ok having just listened to some merzbow and wolf eyes, would anyone who is into this stuff care to explain 2 things?

a) Why does it appeal to you?
b) Where/when do you listen to it?

a) Why does it appeal to you?

Well I listened to a lot of metal* and punk* in my teenage years, then heard lots of Jap noise stuff on Peel, then was into post rock, krautrock, minimalism, experimental gubbins et al so I suppose I like noise because of what I've listened to over the years. But I don't get a lot of noise tracks the first or second time around. But its the same with free jazz!! Maybe the effort required to listen to it attracts me? Or the pure escapism?

b) Where/when do you listen to it?

At home generally but attend noise gigs sometimes as well.

* as I don't listen to punk / hardcore or metal anymore I suppose noise is my metal

I've been listening to a few tracks from the genre this morning and I think I can kind of understand it in a conceptual sense, as an extension of my own personal ideas of what constitutes music anyway,taken to a really raw low level of abstraction.

I wonder if the people listening to it tap their feet and the like.

1) I like the sounds and structures created by the bands, have yet to experiance it live yet but hopefully will do so soon. I just enjoy it really, the same as I enjoy any other musical genre. Does take a while to get into though, especialy when I first heard merzbow's harsher stuff.

2) Anywhere, depending the mood I'm in. Wolf Eyes can be great for walking around blasting out of your headphones.
