Documentary about noise musicians in Portland, Oregon. The focus on a single city is obviously a budgetary one. Portlan, while having more noise artists than most cities, is hardly to noise what New York or London were to punk. There are only a couple of bands I had previously heard of (Smegma, Daniel Menche, Yellow Swans). We get some entirely average noise performances and some mostly boring interviews with people it’s hard for even the biggest noise fan to care about. A film about the roots and development of noise with its key participants would be awesome, but chatting to nobodies rather than Merzbow and Whitehouse is just frustrating.
2/5
