You're right about noise being about immanence, but I see it as is essentially millenarianism, the beginning of last century was the same, breaking down of order in order to get to something new. Metal is similar, especially the more riff base work. Certainly it's all O'Malley does, when we got him to program films it was all 'Threads' and shit.
What I think noise does is deal with radioactivity - theories of being irradiated - and the feeling of being exploded, of literally being blown apart, which of course is what's going to happen at some point, to some part of us on the earth. Music is generally the first artform to pick up psychically upon what form of horror is immanent unto us. It's just up to ( us ) as musicians to try and
a) either prepare the audience for the shock of it happening
b) divert it from happening, if you believe in the power of symbolism. To summise, it's about getting nuked.
I'm suprised Reynolds didn't go into that, or maybe he did, I only skimmed the article.
