Escape From Noise

by Negativland

Escape From Noise cover art

A groundbreaking work of plunderphonics and audio manipulation, 'Escape From Noise' constructs a surreal, highly satirical narrative out of found sounds, media broadcasts, and industrial noise. Negativland brilliantly critiques mass media consumerism, religious broadcasting, and suburban paranoia through jarring, humorous tape splices. It remains an anxious, avant-garde triumph of conceptual sound collage.
