The interview with Vilho Koivisto, a Finnish noise music practitioner, explores topics related to noise vis-à-vis music, the practices of making, performing, recording as well as releasing and distributing noise, and the audience of noise music. In our conversation Koivisto reflects upon his own becoming aware of noise music and his acquiring of the skills needed to create, perform and publish noise, the contemporary noise music scene and relation between performer and the audience.
