Noise Catalogue
Noise Catalogue is a New York-based contemporary music collective. Their work is driven by a passion for creating universally engaging concert experiences, drawing on a diverse range of musical influences including minimalism, avant-garde classical, Hungarian and Romanian folk, and electro-acoustic ambient music. Members are graduates of the Contemporary Performance Program at Manhattan School of Music, where they performed together in the award-winning Tactus ensemble. Recent projects have included premiering several newly-commissioned and original works throughout New York and in Budapest, Hungary, as well as winning a grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts to perform their NYC debut at the Tenri Cultural Institute.
Mission:
Noise Catalogue was founded upon a desire to create universally engaging contemporary music concerts.
Our work draws on a diverse range of musical influences, including minimalism, contemporary classical avant-garde, Hungarian and Romanian folk, and electro-acoustic ambient music. We seek new ways of synthesizing these influences by collaborating with artists of diverse backgrounds, as well as creating original works.
We believe that amid the constant flow of data and stimuli that surrounds us, meaning can be discovered through experimentation and synthesis. Our name serves as a metaphor for this process – cataloguing the noise of the world and recombining it into content which is both innovative and emotionally resonant. Using this guiding principle, we design experiences which celebrate the diverse means by which humans sift through the world’s chaotic noise to uncover purpose, connection, and beauty.
