is a lavishly-illustrated new publication from the Audio Foundation and
CMR. It is a survey of how a bunch of antipodean misfits and
malcontents have forged new ways and new reasons to make noise, here at
the end of the earth. Edited by Bruce Russell (the Dead C.), in
association with Richard Francis and Zoe Drayton; the aim of this volume
is to survey the full range of 'non-standard' audio practices in
contemporary NZ culture. The book's remit runs from the borders of
composed art music, through improvised noise, to deconstructed 'rock'n
pop filth'; and every genre, every scene, every permutation of
unconventional audio practice in-between. The aim is not to be
comprehensive (there is literally too much vitality and diversity for
any book!). The hope is to 'throw a good handful of gravel into the
pool'. While not every eel will have been hit, the surface will have
been rippled from shore to shore, which is more than anyone else has
even attempted before. </span></span><em>Erewhon Calling</em>
makes room for many voices, allowing multiple and possibly conflicting
voices and points of view. A range of artists and informed commentators
mainly tell their own stories, describe their own work, and outline
their own goals in working on the fringes of audio culture. The readers
of this important new source book will be able to discern their own
meanings and make their own connections from this thought-provoking and
unique publication.</p><div>Text
