Noise/Music - Paul Hegarty

Whew! What an interesting book this is. A study of noise in music over the past hundred years. It's becoming an essential reference tool as I flesh out thesis content, but it's not for the faint of heart. It's published by Continuum - notorious for lax editing and euro-philosophical impenetrability - so that's why it's taken me nearly four months to get through it. I suggest a cherry picking approach as opposed to the start <> finish technique. There's a good review by Adam Green which you can read here:
