Resonances is a compelling collection of new essays by scholars,
writers and musicians, all seeking to explore and enlighten this
field of study. Noise seems to stand for a lack of aesthetic grace,
to alienate or distract rather than enrapture. And yet the drones
of psychedelia, the racket of garage rock and punk, the thudding of
rave, the feedback of shoegaze and post-rock, the bombast of thrash
and metal, the clatter of jungle and the stuttering of electronica,
together with notable examples of avant-garde noise art, have all
found a place in the history of contemporary musics, and are
recognised as representing key evolutionary moments. Noise
therefore is the untold story of contemporary popular music, and in
a critical exploration of noise lies the possibility of a new
narrative: one that is wide-ranging, connects the popular to the
underground and avant-garde, fully posits the studio as a musical
instrument, and demands new critical and theoretical paradigms of
those seeking to write about music.
