Tradition Noise is Martijn Comes' fourth full-length album. The project explores the musical and cultural fragmentation, transfiguration and appropriation of foreign sounds and music through the noise aesthetic. Plunderphonia, found sound, field and instrument recordings of the Middle East have provided an abundance of source materials with which to explore a musicality indicative of the culture of the remixer. Particular attention was given to recognizing and respecting the source materials, working with consideration and courtesy, a situation that is often overlooked or even ignored within this developing ‘tradition’ that is noise music. Persisting with this proposal of cultural re-appropriation, Tradition Noise also features two (re)remixes; the first by Chad Mossholder one half of the American duo twine and the second by the independent British producer, Daniel Ruane.
