Neither of these are really specific to "noise" per se..


Interested in this one because a company I used to work for is mentioned in it..

Wow this is a great read! If only for the origin stories of the Potts brothers and the LA history.
Sure the bulk of it is academic and dry as fuk, but it redeems it self many times over for the local history.
Thanks for the post Penis Man!

The best thing about this book was the reading/listening lists at the end of the interviews.
There were some treasures there. Pre-internet it was all we had to work with...

I'd have to say this book was pretty influential on my early noise self although I called it industrial back then.
Major influence on me...
yes...industrial or experimental
Noise came later.

A paper by Steve Reich circa 1968-70:

It appears to explain–-perhaps more broadly than I'd hope–-how his phase shifting pulse gate device was made, which is the many-knobbed behemoth shown here:
