"let me just grab a joint real quick" what an absolute baller

[@FTW_666]

My kinda guy.

i've revisited this interview several times now and it never gets any less interesting. joe seems like a really humble, cool guy with a great "no bullshit" attitude. i could listen to him tell stories for hours.

[@charlesfosterkane]

Love the interview. Hurts a bit to watch it. Joe and Roger working together in the 90s was an incredible synthesis that produced PROBABLY the best American noise at the time, and for a good amount of time afterward. The rebooted Macronympha has been great, Stella's solo stuff was always incredible, and of course the work they did together was, yes, legendary. Wish the final split after nff didn't happen but it did and there's a good chance what came out of their union couldn't have come out at any other time under any other circumstances. I think I have more Macronympha and Macro adjacent shit in my collection than any other project, and Macronymha - both then and now - is absolutely one of the top noise projects to ever exist. NOTHING MORE POWERFUL.

Good ol Joe! He should've talked about 'Casual Approach.' I saw Joe to a David Bowie tribute song in Pittsburgh the night after Bowie died. Classic!

[@powerlinemisfortune]

Really enjoyed this interview like you have no idea. Joe is an interesting person and I could listen to him talk for hours and never get bored. Thank you!

[@cultusmedia]

Simply excellent! This interview is so rich and detailed, loving every minute of it. Thank you WCN for publishing.

[@Krieg41]

God, I loved this interview. Always was enamored with Macronympha so this was super enlightening for me. Thanks for everything you do!

[@RobertMunro-wb6jb]

One of a few noise channels I care about !!!

[@jnpowl]

Much respect for Macronympha and WCN!

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]

Joe is so cool and intelligent, I understanding his ''angry'' points. a lot fire tracks, records out. and so many stories. legend but cool one.

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]

I listen so often Macronympha, so good stuff.

Thank you Oskar for all you do!

That’s a big 10 - 4 on using guitar amplifiers.

[@Aaaaaaaa-ix4rp]

This dude is hilarious, interesting interview

[@Cheerruycooke2692]

Since he was mentioned, have you ever thought about interviewing Jacob of BacteriaField? He’s also been in a lot of power electronics projects, amazing ones at that, I think he’d be an amazing guest even though he tends to stay mostly anonymous

[@Aaaaaaaa-ix4rp]

I agree.

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]

DAVID GILDENNNN!!!!

[@lynnromanusa]

Anyone know what kind of guitar amp he used/uses?

[@lynnromanusa]

based on a live photo i found, looks like its a Sunn 112r

[@Aaaaaaaa-ix4rp]

Sunn alpha 112

[@christhomasism]

1:11:00 this is an interesting point about there being a finite number of sounds.

[@WhiteCentipedeNoise]

Definitely something I want to investigate further

[@jnpowl]

He has a really good point. I mean, there's only so much you can put into a mix before it's just literal hiss. And the human ear has only so much range before it's too high or too low to hear it. And you can have only so many breaks/cracks/pops in the texture before it becomes complete silence. We are all trying to find that sound and texture combination (and variety in that of) that tickles our ears just right. (sorry for the rambling lol)

[@jaimeleal1911]

i wanted to know what pedals you would use in the macronympha. thanks

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]

we need Macronympha in Europe I already talked with them about it, but both members living in 2 different sides of this earth.. ? so

[@user-ob9zo9cr4c]

32 years in the game, just imagine.

1:45:44 :D

[@OtherSideOfTheVoid]

Not as interesting as I thought it would be and it’s a shame because I worship macronympha but he came across a bit reductively simplistic. Maybe just an off day I guess macronympha still rules.
