Fight Your Own War: Power Electronics and Noise Culture

Power electronics is a genre of industrial or Ã¢â‚¬ËœnoiseÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ music that utilises feedback and synthesizers to produce an intense, loud, challenging sound. To match this sonic excess, power electronics also relies heavily upon extreme thematic and visual content Ã¢â‚¬â€ whether in lyrics, album art, or live performance. It is a genre that often invites strong reactions from both listeners and critics, if not dismissed or ignored altogether.

FIGHT YOUR OWN WAR is the first ever English-language book primarily devoted to power electronics, bringing together essays and reviews that explore the current state of the genre, from early development through to live performance, listener experience, artist motivation, gender and subcultures, such as Ã¢â‚¬ËœJapanoiseÃ¢â‚¬â„¢.

Written by artists, fans, and critics from around the world, FIGHT YOUR OWN WAR provides comment on a musical form that is at once theatrical and absurdist, while bringing to listeners a violent, ecstatic, and potentially consciousness-altering experience. In considering this Ã¢â‚¬ËœspectacleÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ of noise, how far can we simply label power electronics as a genre of shock tactics or of transgression for transgressionÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s sake?
