"Erewhon Calling: experimental sound in New Zealand
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 books
remit runs from the borders of composed art
music, through improvised noise, to deconstructed
rockn 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.
Erewhon Calling 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." - CMR.
