A Noise Music Night Crawl in Ypsi
UMS’s residencies at the Ypsilanti Freighthouse welcome audiences to uncommon performances in collaboration with artists and partners deeply rooted in the community.
On September 13, we invite you to join us for a “night crawl” of Noise Music in two pillar concert spaces in Ypsi. Start at the Freighthouse in Depot Town for Beautiful Noise — an immersive concert experience featuring members of the Michigan noise and punk scene — then head downtown to Ziggy’s where the celebration continues with iconic band Wolf Eyes.
Note that entry/admission is sold separately for each venue.
Infinite River
Meditation. Metal. And everything in between…
If you’re new to the genre, noise music embraces unconventional sounds and sonic textures that might be considered “noise” in a traditional sense. Rather than focusing on melody, harmony, or rhythm, it explores the aesthetic and artistic potential of sound itself. This can include everything from static and feedback to industrial sounds and manipulated recordings.
Many noise musicians are interested in the conceptual and philosophical aspects of sound and challenge perceptions of what constitutes music. Take a deeper dive into the diverse soundscapes of Noise on our playlist, available on Apple Music or Spotify:
It’s all about the live experience…
Noise music is best experienced live, when you can truly immerse yourself in the sonic worlds crafted by each artist. This September night crawl in Ypsi is the perfect opportunity to hear a ton of local talent contributing to the noise scene. Learn more about the participating artists of Beautiful Noise at the Ypsi Freighthouse and get Pay-What-You-Wish tickets starting at just $5.
Tickets to Ziggy’s late-night sets are available through Eventbrite.
