804noise is a collective of experimental artists, enthusiasts, and political organizers dedicated to making the Richmond community more receptive to experimental, noise, and avant-garde art/ideas. By networking with other experimental communities and artists we hope to make it easier for experimental events to take place in Richmond and other surrounding areas. The 804noise calendar may contain some experimental/noise events outside of the (804) area code such as Washington DC, Hampton, Virginia Beach, Charlottesville, Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC, etc. to promote solidarity within the experimental community as a whole.

We're always looking for others who want to get involved and help with the organization of 804noise. Want to take part? Get in touch. 804noise holds an open public meeting the last sunday of every month to discuss the future of our community. You can also subscribe to the discussion/announcement list which is right now more than 130 people strong.

804noise was formed in December of 2001, founded on community and mutual aid instead of scene and posturing. It has since become a strong and diverse community of experimental, noise and visual artists. In March of 2004 the decision to move forward with a community based label culminated in the production of a Richmond experimental and noise compilation entitled "804noise". The vision of 804noise Records is to publish and distribute music only from Virginia with a focus on the Richmond experimental community.
