Noise Music: A History by Paul Hegarty This book explores the phenomenon of noise in music, tracing its evolution from experimental sounds of the early 20th century to contemporary styles such as Japanese noise and glitch electronica. By situating different genres within their cultural and historical contexts, Hegarty examines how sound is perceived and judged. From the avant-garde movements of John Cage and Erik Satie to industrial music and punk, Noise Music delves into the noise that has emerged since the mid-1970s. The book provides a comprehensive overview of this complex topic, shedding light on the cultural aesthetics that underpin it. With its sharp analysis and erudite writing style, Noise Music is an excellent primer for anyone interested in experimental music. By exploring the ideas of thinkers like Adorno and Deleuze, Hegarty offers a nuanced understanding of noise as a concept, one that can shift from being dismissed as noise to being accepted as music.
