I just started reading the Dutch translation of the new book by French philospher Michel Serres, titled “Muziek” (fr: “Musique”). Not yet past the first chapter about Orpheus (“Noise”), I am already totally consumed by the mythological landscapes he paints concerning the relationship between random sounds, music and meaning.
It is amazing how it reads like ‘Genetic Choir literature’, describing in other and much more profound ways what we attempt to do with this ongoing vocal instant composition project. Merci, Michel! 
I will write a more informative review on the Genetic Choir blog, as soon as I have read the other two chapters: “Voice” / “Word”)
If you’re not French or Dutch, I think you are in bad luck (at least, checking quickly on Amazon, I couldn’t find an English edition of the book, yet.)
But if you’re proficient in one of these languages, this is a very much recommended read covering white noise, musicianship, how music connects chaos and meaning, complexity, the human condition… – and all that only in the first chapter 
“In Muziek trekt Serres ten strijde tegen de neiging van de moderne mens alles helder en zonder ruis te willen uitdrukken. Hij toont een wereld vol rumoer, ondefinieerbare klanken, vloeibare overgangen en verrassingen. Aldus vat Serres het begrip ‘muziek’ in bredere zin op dan louter de gebruikelijke notie van ‘toonkunst’.”
