[microsound] Re:[microsound] novels with sound

[Tobias Reber <tobiasreber@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mel,

Check out all of Jeff Noon's work, right away. also the interviews and texts
on jeffnoon.com (updated about once a year but some useful stuff there)
might make a godd introduction. He works by remixing language in the way we
musicians rework/treat music. Especially DJ-like style in "needle in the
groove", which also is about music as a liquid medium (recorded on a liquid
medium, remixes are made by shaking it etc...). Very very much recommended
(i've read all his books at least twice). He has also worked with David
Toop.

Chuck Palahniuk's "Lullaby" also comes to mind. It's about a children's song
that kills the people who hear it. A guy finds this out (his wife and baby
have died) and begins a journey across the US to try to destroy all
remaining editions of the book in which it was published. It's also very
much about the noise of (media) society.

This is a subject that I'm very much into, please let me know your further
findings!

Tobias
