Macronympha

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Macronympha is an american noise group, releasing music and playing live since 1991. Its leading force and primary member is Joseph Roemer with Rodger Stella and Tim Oliviera, better known as Stimbox part-time participating. Recently, Dominick Fernow (Prurient) has also become a regular performer with the band live and on record.

A great number of their releases are in cassette format, released on various underground labels worldwide including Roemer's own Mother Savage Noise Productions. So far they have exclusively played live shows in the US.

Macronympha's trademark sound is the collage of metaljunk bashed against each other, layered and looped utilizing mostly analogue equipment. Macronympha has collaborated with many names from the noise scene, including K2, Government Alpha and The Grey Wolves.
