Extreme music for people with extreme experiences.

Noise is a genre that can be misunderstood as anti-social and harsh, but for our guest producer artist Carmen Mercedes Gago Schieb aka Society of Cutting Up Men (S.C.U.M); it’s been a vital source of place-making and connection.

Alongside artists Rosa / Making Out and Yvette Ofa Agapow, she brings us an interstate perspective on the purpose of noise in the face of identity politics, and the possibility of noise as a transmission for freedom.

This episode was produced by Carmen Mercedes Gago Schieb with creative direction and final audio production by Shareeka Helaluddin. Image of Carmen by Valerie Joy, songs courtesy of the artists.
