Noisy, loud, experimental.

I would not considere iHz as a band. More like a musical artist. A band, by my opinion is a group of members playing instruments together. Enough with that. My name is Johan aka iHz. I started producing noise in september 2005. Well, it is september 2005 now, so I'm pretty new to it. I've had my eyes for noise for a while now. It all started with Khonnor. But he is much more melodic than me. I produce something called harsh noise. That's mostly pure white noise, scratches, overtoned sounds, buzzes, fuzzes, screams, radiobuzz and other weird sounds. I wouldn't consider it music, because ordinary, easy-listened music is based on tones with even space between the peaks in the soundwave. Noise and din is based on soundwaves with uneven space between the peaks in it. And the musical genre noise is based upon just that. That's why I say: "This isn't music, this is noise..."

Story behind the song

I was so depressed and felt so meaningless during that time, so I desided to make a noise-track about meaninglessness (is that a word?). First of all I tried to look for a text about the subject, so I turned to the bible (on the net) and searched for the word meaningless. And Ecclesiastes 1:2-9 fitted perfectly!

It's about meaninglessness - unless you haven't noticed

Lyrics

2 "Meaningless! Meaningless!"
       says the Teacher.
       "Utterly meaningless!
       Everything is meaningless."

    3 What does man gain from all his labor
       at which he toils under the sun?

    4 Generations come and generations go,
       but the earth remains forever.

    5 The sun rises and the sun sets,
       and hurries back to where it rises.

    6 The wind blows to the south
       and turns to the north;
       round and round it goes,
       ever returning on its course.

    7 All streams flow into the sea,
       yet the sea is never full.
       To the place the streams come from,
       there they return again.

    8 All things are wearisome,
       more than one can say.
       The eye never has enough of seeing,
       nor the ear its fill of hearing.

    9 What has been will be again,
       what has been done will be done again;
       there is nothing new under the sun.
