The Nothing Noise
This is a band of flighty soldiers/children/makers who saw fit to come
together and expand on something called concepts-called caring- called
strings and flings and drums and things. This is an entity of constant
shift and a lover of all things noise and music - in compilations and
sound. This is a guitar, a voicebox, a banjo and a bass, a bell, a
hammer, a drum and a violin, a mandolin, a teardrop, a shaker, and a
tambourine, a gust of wind, a harmonica, a fruit from the vine, and a
dragon scale xylophone, a cat gut, a saw, a thumb piano, and an
elephant tooth. This is everything. This is nothing. The Nothing
Noise.
