The Art of Noise

Soundcheck | May 3, 2010

Noise has been a musical ingredient from the 60’s rock (The Who, Velvet Underground, Jimi Hendrix) to the 70’s punk to experimental classical movements like Futurism and Dada, not to mention recent artists like Rhys Chatham and Sonic Youth. Today, Frank J. Oteri, founding editor of NewMusicBox.org, and Paul D. Miller (aka DJ Spooky) talk about how to rethink everyday noise.
