Jan. 11th, 2016 10:25 pmPink Noises: Women on Electronic Music and Sound
by Tara Rodgers
Pink Noises consists of a lengthy introduction followed by 24 interviews with women working in the medium of electronic music. It spans celebrated figures of contemporary music like Pauline Oliveros and Annea Lockwood to people working in dance and electronica to women working as DJs. It was a very interesting book, not only providing insight into the work of women whose work I already knew but also introducing me to work of those I had never heard of. However, Pink Noises does suffer from the downfall of most interview compilations: a lack of true trajectory. It's all fascinating, but there is not much in the way of a larger point. Nonetheless, this books is well worth the read for all the new musical discoveries.
