Zusatztext In his book Noise/Music: A History! Irish philosopher and educator Paul Hegarty examines the phenomenon of noise as music. Aimed at anyone interested in the avant-garde (and especially modern music that's dissonant and challenging)! the book provides a historical overview that begins with the Italian Futurist movement! touches on composers from Edgard Varèse to Pauline Oliveros! and progresses to bands like Throbbing Gristle and Severed Heads. Although Hegarty's approach is musically (and geographically) all over the map! it's a fascinating read and offers a wealth of information and perspective on the subject.
