"Erewhon calling 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. The aim of this volume is to survey the full range of 'non-standard' audio practices in contemporary NZ culture. Its remit runs from the boarders of composed art music, through improvised noise, to deconstructed 'rock'n pop filth' ; and every genre, every scene, every permutation of unconventional audio practice in-between."--Back cover.
