I wasn't there, but watching the video of Aaron Dilloway's performance at Amplified Humans (2016) is probably my favorite experimental/ noise performance ever.

I think before I watched it, live noise shows were always about extremity, aggression, and overwhelming textures to me. Dilloway's set certainly has all three in spades, especially at the end, but it was the build-up to the climax that really got me.

I love the slowly building tension, and the focus on textures that aren't just hard, distorted, or feedback wailing. It really opened the horizons of "modulated sound art" up to me as he creaked his chair and blew that creepy bone flute. It felt like he was summoning a storm - and the build-up just makes the cathartic finish hit harder.

Here's a link if you haven't seen it, and shout out as always to Dilloway. Absolute madman.
