oa On Becoming a Sound Object

In ‘On Becoming a Sound Object’, Camilla Peeters argues that noise as a musical movement has a place within new materialism. She combines Paul Hegarty’s and François Bonnet’s music theories with Amelia Jones’ and Gilles Deleuze’s new materialism to analyse Paul Puce Mary’s sixth studio album The Drought. Thus, she shows that noise uses specific techniques to create a new, non-hierarchical relation between the human subject and the sound object.
