CURRENTLY SEEKING
We are interested in vocalists from the Omaha area. Anyone will do as long as they make it through our audition processes. We would actually somewhat prefer a female vocalist. This is because we want to start a side project at one point with a female vocal lead. There are NOT enough cool bands out there that have a female lead. If we end up with a female lead for Symphony of Noise that would kill two birds with one stone.
If anyone is also interested in collaborating with us, especially between right now and the first of July, please contact promptly. Any lead guitarists would also be a great benefit. Erik can play rythym guitar but is NOT good enough to play guitar solos on tracks, much less live.

Sounds Like
Electronic layers. Synthetic and sampled drum programming. And starting with Point of Access: Different layers of vocals. Some layers are verbalized, some are heavily distorted layered noise.
Vent by Vent descriptions:
VENT ONE - LOOKING DOWN INTO THE VALLEY OF THORNS:
This is by far the sloppiest thing released. It was the first album. It was more an experiment than anything. At the time I thought it sounded great. Great for a solo guy working with a computer that froze up for minutes at a time with each step. Things sampled with a stick looking microphone that came with the P.O.S. gateway computer.
VENT TWO - CALCULATED TIME CONSUMPTION:
New hardware. New software. New knowledge. Too many loops. I ran with things I loved and tried to make a richer sounding record. Songs became so long it had to be split up into a double album. Much more electronic and distorted than Vent One. Destruction being the screaming blood filled orgasm that ended it.
VENT THREE - A COLLECTION OF LOST TRACKS, REMIXES AND AUDIO COLLAGES:
I had stuff sitting around. Some of it I thought was cool. Some of it others swore were cool. If I could look back, I wouldn't have released this at all. I don't even allow access to several of the audio collages due to nightmares in acquiring rights. Listening to it again, most of the tracks I feel sound horrible.
VENT FOUR - THE DEATH OF IT ALL:
Meant to be worked and reworked into The River of Piss. A hard drive loss caused the best remaining element - a burned demo from a day before - to become the basis for polishing into a record. The first real appearance of a little guitar work. Great piano and electronic driven tracks Unrest and Loss of Will inhabit this record.
VENT FIVE - EIGHT
From this point on, everything has a more polished and accomplished feel to it. Vent Eight is the first record with actual vocals and A LOT of electric and bass guitar work. It also has the most actual sampled sound rather than entirely synthetic sounds.

Thats bull shit. But then what do you expect from a bunch of donut munching assholes with something to prove. Sad to say we allow ass'es like these in to powerful positions in government as well. Nice to see our tax dollars at work...NOT!
