Harsh noise is a genre of noise music that is created almost entirely by electronic feedback and distortion, occasionally with crashing metal sounds or samples, and a minimized "song" structure. Sometimes referred to simply as "noise," the term harsh noise came into use to differentiate its style from more "musical" noise genres such as noise rock, powernoise, and noisecore, which use instrumentation and song structure. It is closely related to power electronics however, its focus is more on texture and less about composition.
"At first the art of music sought purity, limpidity and sweetness of sound. Then different sounds were amalgamated, care being taken, however, to caress the ear with gentle harmonies. Today music, as it becomes continually more complicated, strives to amalgamate the most dissonant, strange and harsh sounds. In this way we come ever closer to noise-sound."
