Extreme Music

Extreme Music is a comprehensive dive into the outermost zones of sound and silence. Across over 450 pages, Michael Tau charts the vast and bizarre terrain of non-mainstream musical expression — from the punishing extremes of harsh noise and speedcore to the philosophical paradoxes of silence, glitch, and anti-records. Featuring over 100 interviews and archival imagery, this richly documented guide explores volume, duration, vulgarity, unplayable formats, outdated media, digital subcultures, and more. Drawing on his experience as both fan and physician, Tau uncovers the motivations, obsessions, and contradictions behind this fascinating audio underground. A definitive cultural archive for the curious and the committed.

We pack books to arrive in the condition described: protected corners, rigid backing, paper cushioning, and a sturdy outer package. Heavier or collectible editions receive an extra layer of protection. Any defects are documented on the product page—packing doesn’t hide condition, it reduces transit risk.

We ship from Germany, usually on the next business day after payment. Germany: typically 2–5 business days, EU: often 3–7 business days; international depends on destination and customs. Tracking is included for all services and is provided once the parcel is handed over to the carrier. During peak periods, transit times may extend. See the Shipping Policy.

Returns are possible within 30 days of delivery (e.g., if the item doesn’t match the description or you changed your mind). Please contact us before sending anything back—we’ll provide the return address and the best return option. Items should be returned in the same condition as received. Once the return is received and checked, we refund to the original payment method. See the Refund Policy.
