The experimentalist phenomenon of 'noise' as constituting 'art' in much twentiethcentury music (paradoxically) reached its zenith in Cages (silent piece) 433. But much post1970s musical endeavour with an experimentalist telos, collectively known as 'sound art', has displayed a postmodern need to load modernisms degree zero. After contextualizing experimentalism from its inception in the early twentieth century, Dr Linda Kouvarass Loading the Silence: Australian Sound Art in the PostDigital Age explores the ways in which selected sound art works demonstrate creatively how sound is embedded within local, national, gendered and historical environments. Taking Australian music as its primary but not sole focus, the book not only covers discussions of technological advancement, but also engages with aesthetic standpoints, through numerous interviews, theoretical developments, analysis and cultural milieux for a contemporary Australian, and wider postmodern, context. Developing new methodologies for synergies between musicology and cultural studies, the book uncovers a new postpostmodern aesthetic trajectory, which Kouvaras locates as developing over the past two decades the altermodern. Australian sound art is here put firmly on the map of international debates about contemporary music, providing a standard reference and valuable resource for practitioners in the artform, music critics, scholars and educators.
