Music's immanent future : the Deleuzian turn in music studies / edited by Sally Macarthur, Judy Lochhead and Jennifer Shaw. - 244 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cm

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The conversations generated by the chapters in this book grapple with some of music's paradoxes: that music of the Western art canon is viewed as timeless and universal while other kinds of music are seen as transitory and ephemeral; that in order to make sense of music we need descriptive language; that to open up the new in music we need to revisit the old; that to arrive at a figuration of music itself we need to posit its starting point in noise; that in order to justify our creative compositional works as research, we need to find critical languages and theoretical frameworks with which to discuss them; or that despite being an auditory system, we are compelled to resort to the visual metaphor as a way of thinking about musical sounds.
