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.

Amit Dinesh Patel, aka Dushume, is an experimental noise and sound artist, influenced by Asian underground music and DJ culture. His work focuses on performing and improvising with purpose built do-it-yourself instruments, and recording these instruments incorporating looping, re-mixing and re-editing techniques. He is a member of the Sound/Image Research group at the University of Greenwich, UK, and he is a Research Fellow in Experimental Sound and Principal Investigator for the AHRC Research Grant “Exploring Cultural Diversity in Experimental Sound” (2021-22). Andrew Knight-Hill is a composer of electroacoustic music, specialising in studio composed works both acousmatic (purely sound based) and audio-visual. His works have been performed extensively across the UK, in Europe and the US. He is Associate Professor in Sound Design and Music Technology at the University of Greenwich, UK, and leader of the SOUND/IMAGE research group. He is author of Sound & Image: Aesthetics and Practices (2020). Gabrielle Messeder is a Research Fellow in Ethnography for the AHRC-funded project "Exploring Cultural Diversity in Experimental Sound" (2021-23) and is Lecturer and a member of the Sound/Image Research group at the University of Greenwich, UK. Her research is broadly concerned with Brazilian music and dance in Lebanon. Gabrielle is also a musician, and regularly performs Brazilian and West African music in London.
