Way Back Machine To New York Noise 1999 - 2002

I read about New York Noise many years ago at Enjoy The Music. It influenced my audio research greatly that these insane DIY guys were building and doing audio that broke the mold of the stuffy audiophile. These DIY audio events took place from 1999 to 2002. New York Noise is history now but most of these guys are still doing crazy DIY audio and some even professionally.

Sean Sakamoto uploaded the only video footage I could find of a New York Noise event. This also includes some time with JC Morrison aka The Sound Hacker who hosted the event. This video deserves more views than it currently has so if you haven't seen it check it out.

Many names I've been reading articles or posts by over the years attended New York Noise. I met Dave Slagle at last years LSAF. The funny thing is I didn't realize until recently that he was the crazy guy that I had seen on Adnan Arduman's website. This image stuck in my head for a long time. I didn't have a frame of reference for what was going on here and at the time I thought what the hell is going on here.
