Illes; Mattin et al.: "Noise & Capitalism"

Eventhough not actively working on Noise as a topic within my research, the Essay-Collection "Noise & Capitalism" became a reappearing work on my reading list. Starting from focussing on History of Noise as an Artform, to theoretical thoughts on music and capitalism to contemporary copyright-discussions, the texts allow to constantly discover now aspects and interdisciplinary connections. The biggest aspect might be question on how to map sub-cultures and approach anti-systemic movements, located in capitalist environments. But instead of abstracting and getting lost in theoretical thought, Illes and Mattin implement a perspective for non-capitalist publishing, stating the rights of use for every text, defining the terms and presenting models enhancing contemporary copyright law. The texts span the whole spectrum of copyrighted texts, Anti-Copyright, Public Domain, Copyleft, making almost the whole book freely accessible and (in a anti-capitalist way) reproducable.

Reading-Recommendation:
