THE NOISE BOX This wasn't my first version of "Noisebox." It was actually my third. These guitar-infused tracks began being recorded in 2001. The riffs and melodies on at least the guitar parts were originally created in 1996 when I was part of a 3-piece band featuring high school friends. Our band was a combination of grunge and industrial, appropriately named "noose." Unfortunately do to our trash town we grew up in being notorious for a lot of its racist members, we decided the name "noose" wouldn't go as well with the history of our town as we would like. Something about it being linked to a lynch mob, you know? So before disbanding in 1999, we changed the name to "coy." Our last summer together as a band included driving around with a tape recorder improv-singing goofy shit. We stopped getting along and I gave up. It really wasn't worth it to me anymore. But since I came up with the guitar parts, I used most of them in the following years when I started recording using a computer and ACID software. I made the last of this attending college in 2003-2005 and used what I learned in a quick course on "Visual Basic" programming to create CD-Rs of all of my music up to 2004. I actually still have the original .ISO file you can check out here. In 2011, I re-released a real printed version using mixonic services including some early synth stuff too, and also removed the visual basic idea, which now on the third iteration has returned. Before, I realized CDs would go out even as far back as 2011, so a USB that is now the medium is going to hopefully work out better. If you would like to see the images of the rare CD-ROM version, you can check them out here. Now, in 2025 I have released for free a cleaner version of the first, with albums now organized into the newer formats I came up with starting in 2021. This takes up more space than a regular CD-R, so it is released online now as a free download and is also a USB you can buy now! This is probably just a basic rough draft as I am now re-programming it with better graphical interface with a large amount of other stuff on the future USB release "Organized Chaos." You can still order (for now) the current 2025 standalone USB version of noisebox on the link above if you wish to collect a playable physical pre-release for your car computer or game console.
