- noCore is the one of the performing names of Michael Schmidt, an electronic music producer and livePA artist. He is known for creating improvisational rhythmic noise music with a wide range of influences ranging from bare minimal ambient music to extreme splatter breached digital grindcore. noCore's musical production history dates back to 1997, when he became interested in sampling random sounds, sequencing patterns on a drum machine, and recording the results on a 4-track audio cassette tape recorder. In 2000, noCore founded his own label, known as r.i.p. theSystem, to publish his debut release "Nothing Exceeds Like Excess" (2000) along with the "r.i.p. theSystem compilation v0.1". In 2003, two of his (ZYMOTIC) tracks appeared on the 3xCD "Don't Fuck With Us" compilation released by Digital Hardcore Recordings along with EXISTS's "hooyee". In May 2007, he appeared on D-Trash Records' Atari Teenage Riot tribute release with a cover of the ATR track "U.S. Fadeout" and "Into the Death". Since noCore's first live appearance in Toronto in 2001 with ARC/Aiden Baker, he has performed across Canada, the United States and Europe with the likes of Merzbow, Venetian Snares, EC8OR, C-drik Fermont, All Out Assault, Contra, Schizoid, Lungbutter, C64, Crack Rental Mates, NoiseBazooka, Mind Disruption, Älymystö, Heartworm, Hecate, Forgotten Sunrise, Rabia Sorda, NoiseBazooka, Onanizer, RottenCold, GodSentUs, Evestus, Twittering Machine, Turbo Ted, Aneurysm, Neuronaut, DuranDuranDuran, and others. Today, noCore stands out from other breakcore and noisecore artists through his excessive use of analog equipment in sound production as well as live settings. The sound of his works reflects his tendency to stray away from digital processing in favor of more pure, tube-driven distortion sounds. In live settings, he relies on various hardware instruments, such as the Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 08, Clavia Nord Lead 2, Korg Electribe, MFB Synth 2, Sherman Filterbank, Electro-Harmonix Small Stone, Pro Co Rat Deucetone, Boss DD-3, Boss RSD-10, Tech 21 Sans Amp TRI-AC, 2 Zoom TM-01's, guitars, etc. The performances are usually improvised on the spot and rarely repeated unless recorded. The artist name noCore was originally inspired by the song "Nocore Punk Rock" by The Boredoms and is reflective of the artist's early eclectic influences. In 2001, noCore teamed up with D-Trash artist Schizoid to form Exist, which released 2 albums, "Exist" (2001) and "The Tension and the Darkness" (2001). Throughout his career, he has also self-released several albums under the name of Zymotic whose works are known for a more guitar-driven and grindcore-influenced sound.
