Audnoyz 1: multi-referential stylistically, quintessential tracks seamlessly integrated from acoustic & electronic instruments, voice, non & recognizable sources, machines, and the disruptive / cohesive element of noise; 2: evocative music that bleeds out all over the genre map, blurred boundaries not beholden to the poles of popular form; 3: a music production aesthetic; 4: the music producer and psuedonisticmusictechnophilosoph that has crawled out from under a rock in the garden that is the web...

Hey all! :)

Sometimes you start a song with one idea in mind and then the song veers off on a totally different direction and you just go with it instead of trying to wrangle it back in. Apparently I can't get rid of the baby raver in me because that's where this song went - energetic, silly and playful. Forget about the seriousness of not only music production but the world itself. Just let go and have fun!

The "banana head" vocal sample is from some random video that I saw on my IG feed one day. Turns out it's Marilyn Monroe from the movie "The Asphalt Jungle" (1950). So there you go.

I decided this song was a little too off-the-wall to shop out to labels so opted to give it away for free. Please download & enjoy! It's a 16-bit 44.1kHz WAV file. 

Extra special thanks to Mac Vaughn at Dark Star Audio for the stellar mastering job! Check out his website for mastering services in addition to other services & resources! https://darkstaraudio.com

This song was produced exclusively by me, DJ Denise, in Ableton Live 11 from October to December 2023.

We had the absolute honor & privilege to perform at the Daybreaker SF: Peace Tour located at the breathtaking Grace Cathedral. This is the live 2-hour recording (Dancing Mandy is the first half, DJ Denise is the second half). Thank you for listening!

From Dancing Mandy:
Playing Daybreaker at Grace Cathedral was incredibly meaningful for me on so many levels. Growing up singing in church choir was my first connection to music, so being able to DJ in a house of worship (in my wedding dress!) really brought my musical journey full circle. I thought deeply about what to play, and decided that it was really important to play soulful, uplifting house music, the music that unapologetically spreads love in the face of judgement, the music that was created (and still is) to bring fellowship to so many Black, gay, and other marginalized groups when organized religion did not support them. For so many, house music IS church — the only church where they feel 100% loved and accepted for who they are. Bringing these seemingly two diametric opposites under one roof was a powerful experience and I’m so grateful to Daybreaker and Grace Cathedral for making it happen. So as Jack said…Let There Be House!

Dancing Mandy - Live At Daybreaker At Grace Cathedral - FnF Submission

Audnoyz is the consummate psuedonisticmusictechnophilosoph that has crawled out from under a rock in the garden that is the web…

Building evocative music from everything within reach, the music of audnoyz has the diffused identity of cerebral electronica, art-film-music, ecleto-global-fuzion, kinetic techno-pop, hip hop beats, jazz-informed harmony laced with shards of percussion, cinematic soundscapes, and sublime noize… edges that bleed out all over the genre map, blurred boundaries not beholden to the poles of popular form.

Here's what Electronic Musician Magazine says about Audnoyz:
Somewhere between 2001:A Space Oddity, and Kraftwerk, and Tangerine Dream lies recording industry expert Steve Thomas’ Audnoz Project, a self described  ‘aural journey for the inner eye.” It’s a beautifully rhythmic journey of electronica surfing waves of ambient vocal and instrumental passages. Listening to this fresh approach to multicultural instrumental influences, you start to feel like you are experiencing synasthesia, seeing the music. A natural work for filmmakers to explore. This genre-breaking collection pleases, startles, and stimulates the mind.” –
