Exterminate Noise

by Ron Whitehead, Charlie Newman

Originally written as two poets' personal responses to music of unknown origin — and the cover photo — Exterminate Noise was intended to be a performance piece. Newman and Whitehead used their own words and Burroughs' cut-up technique to create a truly intense form of spoken word-to-music document. It took on a life of its own as a book after recording studio engineers listened to the resulting CD and suggested the project deserved to be read as well as heard.
