More of an academic reader rather than a general text, this collection of essays is nonetheless very fascinating. This maps the aural and discursive terrain of vanguard modern music today. It connects the rhizomatic threads of radical music with earlier experimentation. Writings from composers, philosophers, and cultural theorists permeate these texts diving into the connections from minimalism, indeterminacy, avant rock dub reggae, musique concrete, free improvisation, ambient and experimental music. to hip hop and techno.
In other words, meat for a dedicated Wire magazine reader.
