It’s a great addition to any serious sound scholar’s library. * Gina Arnold, Adjunct Professor of Rhetoric at University of San Francisco and author of Route 666: On The Road To Nirvana *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eThe collection itself is a diverse mix.\u003ci\u003e..Resonances\u003c\/i\u003e is fairly highbrow. The book’s language is intensively scholarly, and its appeal mostly academic. -- Guy Crucianelli * Pop Matters! *\u003cbr\u003eThe value of this anthology lies in its attempt to be as complete as possible, and its inclusion of perspectives that often go unconsidered. -- Aurelio Cianciotta * Neural (Bloomsbury translation) *\u003cbr\u003eIn the decade since, a stunning range of new offerings from a variety of publishers has become readily available, and sound studies is a far more expansive discipline. This fact is nowhere more evident than in Bloomsbury Academic’s excellent sound studies catalog ... the scholarship here shows how adept the cultural study of sound can be at unearthing the thorny political and social tensions that define contemporary culture. -- Nicholas C. Laudadio, University of North Carolina Wilmington * Journal of Popular Music Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eResonances\u003c\/i\u003e carries its readers from the ideas of Theodor Adorno to 'Hi-Fi Wives,' Russian punk and 60s rock. If you want to know what Iannis Xenakis, Eric Clapton, and the 'Filthy Turd aesthetic' have in common, this is the book for you! Handsomely illustrated and extensively documented, \u003ci\u003eResonances \u003c\/i\u003eis a must-read volume for modernists and postmodern cultural critics alike. -- Michael Saffle * Endorsement *\u003cbr\u003e'That’s not music, it’s noise!' The contributors to this book ask us to think again. They reveal that noise can prove as stimulating a part of sonic organization as melody and harmony—the distorted rock guitar being one example among many. These engrossing essays cover a remarkable variety of musical practices, exploring noise as both accident and deliberate design, and building theories about noise that set the agenda for future debate. -- Derek B. Scott, author of Sounds of the Metropolis (2008) and Musical Style and Social Meaning (2010).\u003cbr\u003eThis collection is a massive achievement in laying the groundwork for a new way of thinking about things musical. Its scope is large - Hendrix, Xenakis, deafness, production aesthetics, pleasure, Russian punk - and essays impress in both their attention to detail and the breadth of their conceptual scope as we move from questions of aesthetics to detailed close reading. It is a study which succeeds as both music scholarship and cultural contextualization, particularly in relation to artists in other media (Ballard, Artaud) and key scholars (Attali, Adorno, Benjamin). And although it is hard to photograph noise, the book's photos find some excellent visual analogues. -- Allan F Moore, Professor of Popular Music, University of Surrey, author of Rock: the Primary Text and Song Means\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003epart one \u003c\/b\u003eNoise, Rock and Psychedelia   \u003cb\u003e1 \u003c\/b\u003e‘Kick Out the Jams’: Creative Anarchy and Noise in   1960s Rock   Sheila Whiteley   \u003cb\u003e2 \u003c\/b\u003eRecasting Noise: The Lives and Times of \u003ci\u003eMetal\u003c\/i\u003e   \u003ci\u003eMachine Music\u003c\/i\u003e   Nicola Spelman   \u003cb\u003e3 \u003c\/b\u003eShoegaze as the Third Wave: Affective Psychedelic Noise,   1965–1991   Benjamin Halligan   \u003cb\u003e4 \u003c\/b\u003eTo Be Played at Maximum Volume: Rock Music as a   Disabling (Deafening) Culture   George McKay       \u003cb\u003epart two \u003c\/b\u003ePunk Noise: Prehistories and Continuums   \u003cb\u003e5 \u003c\/b\u003eSounds Incorporated: Dissonant Sorties into Popular   Culture   Stephen Mallinder   \u003cb\u003e6 \u003c\/b\u003eStairwells of Abjection and Screaming Bodies:   Einstürzende Neubauten’s Artaudian Noise Music   Jennifer Shryane   \u003cb\u003e7 \u003c\/b\u003eMake a Joyous Noise: The Pentecostal Nature of   American Noise Music   Seb Roberts   \u003cb\u003e8 \u003c\/b\u003eRoars of Discontent: Noise and Disaffection in Two Cases   of Russian Punk   Yngvar B.
