الملخص:Noise music is a genre of music that uses unconventional sounds in performances. In Malaysia,many performers use the analogue approach including instruments such as guitar pedals,contact microphones and metal objects to perform noise music. The analogue approach limitsthe possibilities of composing more noise music compared to the digital approach of soundmanipulation and audio signal processing today, available through programmes such as Max. Theobjective of this research is to explore and critique Max as a digital platform for noisemusic production. This research aims (I) to identify techniques of producing noise music throughMax (2) create noise music using Max (3) perform noise music produced by Max. Thisresearch utilised the self ethnography and practice-led approach including composing,performing, reflecting and revising. Research outcomes show that Max can replicate mostof the analogue approaches used in producing noise music. In addition, it has the capacity forcreating more sound expression to produce noise music using techniques such as randomisation, audio panning, time-based event and real-time audio processing.In conclusion, Max has the capacity of producing noise music but it is not user friendly oreffective as a self-taught programme. This research recommends users to learn thisprogramme under an instructional approach prior to producing noise music.
