I'd have to say this book was pretty influential on my early noise self although I called it industrial back then.

"New Directions in Music is intended as an introduction and general survey of avant-garde and post avant-garde music in the twentieth century to 1975, in the hope that it will serve to stimulate the reader to further listening and research. Designed for music students at the college and graduate level, it may be suitably integrated into any course incorporating the study of various aspects of twentieth-century composition: forms, techniques, philosophy; and it can be a valuable supplement to the well-rounded education of any serious musician."

Major influence on me...
yes...industrial or experimental
Noise came later.

Perhaps over the top in academic references, but he was in a noise band, and now in one with Vomir.



Not really noise - sound art, as are quite a few others...

In 1984, while the day care sex abuse hysteria phenomenon was sweeping the nation and while attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Sotos began producing the controversial magazine Pure, notable as the first zine dedicated to serial killer lore. The original publications are now collectors' items.
In addition to offering many details about the crimes of serial killers and Nazis, the text in the magazine praises them, describing them using such terms as "genius", "glorious", "exemplary", and "illustrious". The text is juxtaposed with pictures and newspaper clippings relevant to the crimes discussed, showing that the media also abuse the victims. A short manifesto introducing the first issue says the magazine "satiates and encourages true lusts."
A photocopy from a magazine of child pornography was used as the cover of issue #2 of Pure which led to Sotos pleading guilty to possession of child pornography, receiving a suspended sentence. A copy of the magazine was found by Scotland Yard in Edinburgh, in the home of a suspect in a series of child abductions, murders and grave robbings, which led to Sotos' arrest.[1]

My alma mater! Fascinating I had no idea Sotos had attended or that there was a connection to Pure. Maybe that lore was overshadowed by the more recent to my attendance controversy of the Dread Scott Proper Way To Display A Flag piece.

I suppose the irony lost on all that followed Sotos making exploitive noise works is that they have become an extension of the media.
