Noise music is a genre that emphasizes the use of unconventional sounds, often incorporating elements like static, feedback, and industrial noises. It challenges traditional musical structures and melodies, focusing instead on texture and timbre. Artists may use everyday objects, electronic devices, or instruments in unconventional ways to create their compositions. This genre emerged in the 20th century, influenced by movements such as Dadaism and Futurism. Notable figures in noise music include Merzbow and Wolf Eyes, who explore the boundaries of sound and auditory experience. Noise music often invites listeners to reconsider their perceptions of music and sound itself.
