Welcome to A Bunch of Noise 2025!!
Venue @Bandai Namco | The Epicenter of Uncontrolled Noise
Enter the noise, become the noise | April 3rd-5th
The core stage will feature 34 international artists, with overloaded distortion, extreme sound pressure, auditory collapse, and noise as a physical impact.
April 3rd-5th @Bandai Namco Shanghai Base
34 musicians with their music spanning the range of harsh noise, electronic experimentation, improvisation, industrial noise, free from stylistic constraints and refuse to cater to auditory norms. Here, sound refuses obedience, repetition or explanation.
No track, no rhythm, no predictable sequence — only noise as a vessel for raw impact, penetrating hearing and eroding the body.
Complete Invasion of Physical Senses | Gathering of Noise Pioneers | A Bunch of Harsh Noise
A gathering of noise pioneers: John Duncan, Vomir, 33EMYBW, G*Park, Black Phone 666, Hemant SK… Experimental noise-makers from around the world , whose performances are not “shows” but battles between sound and the body, a complete assault on the perception system.
A Special Session of completely Uncontrolled Noise Storm chaos:
More than 20 Harsh Noise performers on stage at once. No cooperation, no compromise, just let noise spreading uncontrollably. Each performer only focuses on their own. Extreme frequencies consume everything, and interference becomes the only language. The space turns into a disordered storm——Sensory boundaries are shattered, and ears are dragged into a black hole.
