Noise Music door Paul Hegarty
O ruído na música é visto como mais que um barulho, mas uma categoria ligada à transgressão, ruptura, e um movimento que tensiona a dialética da inovação seguida de incorporação ao vocabulário. O ápice dessa incorporação do problemático teria se dado no Noise japonês, com Merzbow. Embora com vários exemplos difíceis de achar, o livro fornece um mapa de coisas musicais interessantes. Por vezes as observações conceituais são apressadas ou soam um pouco forçadas, o que torna os conceitos abertos demais. Mas é uma leitura que recomendo, ainda assim.… (meer)
Not perfect, but probably the best thing out there on the topic. I would prefer if the author would have stuck to either a purely theoretical-semiotic approach or a strickly formal analysis. It's a mixed bag with mixed results. It gets four stars because I'm in love with subject matter.
In the end, this was a good book. Although, clearly the author is into some crazy shit. Like music that consists of nothing but feedback and chickens.
Suffers from the dreaded "I HAVE A LOT OF COOL RECORDS" disease, as well as the "REFERENCE THEORY AND PHILOSOPHY WITHOUT DOING MUCH ELSE" disease. There's some good there, but Microbionics, while not doing the exact same thing, is far, far better.
