This exciting book explores how encounters between music, sound, research practices and Deleuze and Guattari’s work are co-constitutive, so that understandings of music and sound can not only be developed via engagements with Deleuze and Guattari’s work but Deleuze and Guattarian research can also be ‘musicked’. Discussing a wide range of musical encounters from popular culture to high culture to performance art to everyday music making practices, this book covers topics that will interest those working across the social sciences, arts and humanities as well as more specifically in music and sound studies.
