so, i just got back from band practice, and during todays practice i got really bored and started just messing around with feedback and using my effects to alter it. we ended up having a jam session lasting for about 15 mins based solely on feedback. i have to admit it was pretty fun, i really wish we had recorded it. i used mostly my delay pedal messing around with the delay time.

so basically i was just wondering if any one else has done this before, or if there are any songs that i could listen to that were done like this? also, if you have done this, what are some ideas that you have incorporated into it?

i think someone decided to 'genreise' that and call it 'noise music'

check outyoutube.

but yeah, i have often ended sets with feedback/noise.
(we allways save a song that is epicly huge till the end, then just progressively feedback)

I usually use feedback in a jam, it's amazing how dynamic and textural it can be in the right context. It has the potential to be both beautiful and irritating. I usually just like a dash of delay or reverb, and just try to position myself to get really long notes. When I wanna be ugly, I just switch on my microphonic P90 and let it howl.

But it's too finicky to try and repeat a whole feedback song under different conditions. I'm actually trying to write less noisy stuff and more acoustic folk-rock style stuff. I'm too distracted by aaaaall the **** you can do with an electric guitar.

Oh, and for feedback-drenched music? Sonic Youth.

I finally got that C-60 thing under your username. My local everything-store doesn't sell them.

Anyway:
Funny you should bring this up, I'm currently listening to a song that I recorded last week where I got some sweeet feedback by putting a cheap Casio mic into the soundhole of a small classical acoustic guitar and running it through the Fuzz Factory.

Also:
Listen to the Jesus and Mary Chain for feedbacky stuff. Also, the Grateful Dead have a song called 'Feedback'.

Tom morello did a solo comprised entirely of feedback, but that doesn't really count.

I wrote a song called "White Noise" and its mostly feedback and vocals with a crazy TWS-style synth-happy inter lude then back to the feedback and vocals. Haven't recorded it...YET!

When I do, I will post!

The last track, 'and I fell for it too,' is all live, stacked self oscillation, feedback, and droney loops...

All my friends who are in to noise say that the last two minutes are good but the first three generally aren't, although there are alot of good parts throughout.

I recorded it all in one take, except for the drums, which were later overdubbed (indiscriminately). The only reason they had to be overdubbed is because I needed the Fuzz Factory, though.

stormy clouds/reprise by the verve is the most artfully done track using ton of feedback. nick mccabe is a master

See Boris With Merzbow -- Rock Dream
for some long feedback-drenched, delay/looping-craziness, noise songs.

The first song is a 35 minute long work called Feedbacker

Indeed, or any of the Boris albums which are in parts such as Flood and Feedbacker. Amplifier worship has its fare share of feedback too.

Also my band Tacoma Narrows Bridge

The 2 of us have made 15 minute+ tracks solely of bass and guitar feedback.

Everytime I go to a rehersal space I am learning more and more about taming feedback and being able to control it etc. A JCM900 produces some sweet sweet feedback.

The Neil Young album "Arc" is made up entirely of feedback snippets (originally from the beginnings and ends of songs on his 1991 tour with Crazy Horse) spliced together.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_(album)

I saw him on that tour, it was a great show and Social Distortion and Sonic Youth were on the bill, too, so it was absolutely eardrum-shattering. The Neil fans in Landover, Maryland, were not friendly to Sonic Youth, few people appreciated their genius....guess they just wanted to hear "Hey Hey My My"
