there are so many great ones to link to (ayler, tibet, la monte young), but aphex twin made me laugh very hard. I mean, it is his defining physical characteristic...

I don't really watch South Park but I would totally watch the episode with the Residents.

the only one on my initial mental checklist that seemed missing turned out to be the very first one (Merzbow), on the last page... of 21 pages! There are SO MANY.

It just so happens that South Park is sort of playing in the background while I am looking a this post.
It sort of highlights how much I love some of these artists, and how really not edgy South Park is.
The Jack Rose image just reminded me.

OK after this I am done but one of the most incredible sets I have ever played in my life was doing video for Chris Corsano and Joe McPhee. I was incredibly nervous, but the whole thing was transcendent, every element just beautiful from start to finish. Virtuosity, spontaneity and serendipity. Chills.
I have met some of your Noise Park friends. Some of them are pretty great.
some of them are dicks

let us not forget Stan from south park was (allegedly) named after experimental film demigod Stan Brakhage, who was, weirdly, Stone and Parker's film school teacher, and the visual equivalent of some of these noise / experimental artists.

There's enough overlap between this and my musical tastes that on average it's only like one per page who I even know who they are. And about half that many I would actually listen to on purpose. And it's only about half of those that I have any idea what they look like. About half of them, I slavishly buy every single thing that they ever release.

This is one of those projects that I'd think up when I'm faded. I invariably would wake up the next day and ask myself, "Why would I ever waste my time on something like that?". Still, bully for the creator of this, good on them.
The South Park-Rotten Milk likeness is somehow very uncanny.

I see Coil and Diamnada Galas, and David Tibet
This is a wider definition of noise than I use.
I mean Kraftwerk?
Jean Michel Jarre?
And couldn't even find Boyd Rice.

I wasn't sure how to frame it because I recognized maybe 5 entries but I really love the look of them and I knew some MeFites would get it/love it.

Southeastern Michigan/Bulb Records is well represented - Magas, Pete Larsen, Aaron Dilloway, Quintron - needs more Wolf Eyes.

Oh man - I think GG Allin, too!
I wouldn't consider some of these noise (of course - minimalist composers and idm etc... are included) I was disappointed that I didn't see any Venetian Snares at the very least, even if not Autechre. I also think I'd love to see a version of Computer Jesus Refrigerator in this form.
And the dude with the chicken head, that's the melodica dude, right? (no, I'm not that stupid, don't even dignify that with a reply ;))

Boris is totally the best one.
Boyd Rice is definitely in there.

I was fortunate(?) enough to see a Costes show a bunch of years ago. This is a perfectly accurate depiction.
I don't think anyone should feel bad for not recognizing most of these. As an industrial music nerd I'm passingly familiar with the noise/avant-garde scene, and I only know who maybe 10% of these people are.

Same here. Some of them are not listed under their act names, which is a little odd. For example, Daniel Lopatin is not listed as Oneohtrix Point Never.
I was disappointed that I didn't see any Venetian Snares
I'm pretty sure he's in there, but search doesn't seem to work to verify.

It's nice that these are now showing up when you do an image search for some of the lessor known musicians, so those who never got it together to take a publicity photo or create a myspace page now have some sort of presence online.

Wow, talk about commitment! For the ones I recognize, it really is spot on, but man, I would have gotten bored and quit updating after about a week.
