This volume presents the voices of diverse and often marginalized practitioners, celebrating Black and South Asian experimental sound musicians and their underrepresented music practices.Black and South Asian artists are some of the least represented within the field of experimental sound. Ethnically diverse artists have been excluded from the traditional discourse. Their experiences, therefore, provide a valuable counterpoint to those of the normalized white majority. Bringing together a diverse array of international artists and practitioners this book challenges the white norm in the field of experimental sound, this book gives underrepresented voices a chance to express their perspectives through a series of case studies and addresses a significant knowledge gap into the field of experimental sound.
