Listening through the Noise: The Aesthetics of Experimental Electronic Music

Summary/Abstract: Electronic music since 1980 has splintered into a dizzying assortment of genres, communities and subcultures. Given the ideological differences among academic, popular and avant-garde electronic musicians, is it possible to derive an aesthetic theory that accounts for this variety? And is there even a place for aesthetics in twenty-first-century culture? In order to answer such questions, the author explores genres ranging from techno to electroacoustic music, from glitch to drone music, and from dub to drones, and maintains that culturally and historically informed aesthetics theory is not only possible but indispensable for understanding electronic music.
