Name and Author of eBook: Extreme Music: From Silence to Noise and Everything In between by Michael Tau
WRZ$ reward: 100 WRZ$
A wondrous compendium of every genre, sub-genre, and sub-subgenre of “extreme” modern music.
Michael Tau’s Extreme Music invites us to explore some of the most obscure sounds and forms that make up modern music. A few of the sub-genres are ones most readers will know about, even if only in passing: harsh noise wall, drone, and ambient recordings. Others are truly niche: pornogrind, splittercore, and perishable records, for example. And if you’ve ever wanted to learn more about anti-records (or if you’re enticed by the phrase), this is the book for you.
Michael Tau had spent years obsessed by the extremes of musical expression. Extreme Music: Silence to Noise and Everything In Between is the culmination of decades of research into the sounds (and silences) that comprise the outer limits and conceptual expressions that stretch the definition of music. Tau defines and categorizes these recorded sounds into sections that allow fans and newcomers to explore the fascinating world of musicians who defy convention. He explores a wide range of extremes including volume, speed, and vulgarity to packaging, recording methods, unplayable media, outdated technologies, and digital pioneers. He asks and answers the questions: Are all sounds music? Is silence music? Is a plate of rotting food once cataloged, packaged and sold by a distributor qualify as music?
Extreme Music includes over 100 interviews with makers and musicians as Tau uses his background in psychiatry to help readers understand what motivates people to create and listen to non-mainstream music. As a fan of multiple avant-garde musical genres, Tau uncovers the pleasures (and sometimes pain and frustration) found at the outré fringes of music.
Extreme Music is the ideal guide for curious seekers, die-hard fans, and cultural investigators. Features images and curated links to samples of music.
