Abstract

"Noise/Music" looks at the phenomenon of noise in music, from experimental music at the early 20th century to the Japanese noise, music and glitch electronica of today. ... While it provides an excellent historical overview, the book's main conern is in the noise/music that has emerged since the mid 1970s, whether through industrial music, punk, free jazz or the purer noise of Merzbow. The book progresses seamlessly from discussions of John Cage, Erik Satie and Pauline Oliveros through to bands like Trobbing Gristle and the Boredoms. The author also examines the concept of noise from a philosophical perspective. Underpinned throughout by the ideas of Adorno, Deleuze and others, the author's writing is sharp and erudite. -- Summarized from back cover.
