01 What is your name / age / nationality ?
Ryne
Barber / 25 / USA
02
How did you get into noise ?
It
began as a bit of an obsession around the time I was downloading from
Soulseek and the RAWRshare forums. I was really interested in the
aesthetics of Merzbow, Wolf Eyes, Sunn 0))), yet I couldn’t see
myself listening to it on a regular basis. But I began to force
myself to listen to the more accessible stuff from Wolf Eyes and
Black Dice; Burned Mind
and Merzbow’s
Timehunter were
my first forays because they fit my interests in regular music. Then
I branched out into harsher Merzbow, Dead Machines, and other things
I could collect on Soulseek. Eventually I found Werewolf Jerusalem’s
In Horror because
of its aesthetic, and was admittedly quite annoyed with its relative
lack of change. Then harsh noise wall became an obsession.
03
How did you chose the name of your project / What does it mean to you
?
Tomb
of Trinkets was my third project after Hearse Fetish became somewhat
hard to continue - not only because of the confines and restrictions
I placed on myself when recording, but also because live recording
became impossible once I moved. Tomb of Trinkets was originally
devised as a way to digitally manipulate and alter some of my
favorite tracks, making them into very raw harsh noise wall, and the
first release was simply grindcore tracks re-imagined and processed
into walls. This is where the trinkets came into play - the sounds
were plundered from other artists, often mere snippets of track, and
then reused. That’s still the case as the project has morphed, but
now I’m using mostly found sounds or physically manufactured sounds
that have been heavily manipulated.
04
Which one of your releases would make the best entry point into your
work ?
While
Sweet Sound’s Chasm was
the first release of the project, the sound has differed
significantly in my next two releases.
I would suggest Drugged Lunch for the rawer, HNW/power electronics stylings that I have been exploring of late for this project - this is where the overpowering vocals and rhythmic destructive bent come into play.
05
How do you record ? (live, sequencing, multi-tracking etc..)
Most
of the time I sample lots of sounds, remix and alter them, and layer
them into the recording. A lot of these are created and recorded
first, either with synth or drums or found sounds. I will usually
record vocals last, depending on where I want them in the mix.
06
What is your favorite piece of gear ?
They
are not actually a piece of gear but I love my digital synths which I
use a lot, either the free AudioSauna studio or the Alchemy Synth app
on the iPad.
07
Do you play live ? How is it different from your releases ?
I
don’t play live; where I live, we have very few venues devoted to
regular music, let alone noise. With that said, while I would
consider doing my other HNW projects live, I doubt I would ever do a
Tomb of Trinkets set.
08
Who would you like to collab / make a split with ?
Anyone
who would be interested !
09
Do you listen to other types of sound/music ? Which ones ?
I’m
all over the place. I love grindcore, death metal, powerviolence, but
also 90s emo and the new revival bands. I’m always a sucker for
Cursive.
10
What is your favorite record at the moment ?
That’s
a tough once since I’m so eclectic, but I’d have to say that I
have been thoroughly enjoying You Blew It!’s newest album Keep
Doing What You’re Doing.
