Hainge notes that ‘whilst attendant to the historical and technological conditions in which music comes into being, this typology has particular advantage of being able to account for music across all musical traditions, be they defined in terms of a cultural distinction (East vs. West) or a generic one (song vs. symphony, scored music vs. improvisation).’ See Hainge, Noise Matters, n.19, 268.

42 I am drawing the Deleuzian concept of ‘becoming-woman’ into my review of this work. My intention is to introduce an analytical layer to Kouvaras's critique. In a Deleuzian sense, the concept of a ‘becoming-woman’ is not just particular to women. To follow Deleuze, any music that disrupts the value-laden binary oppositions that regulate the social codes, can be understood as a becoming-woman, that is, as a drift away from the dominant music.

43 See Rosi Braidotti's discussion of this idea in ‘Nomadism with a difference: Deleuze's legacy in a feminist perspective’, Man and World 29 (1996): 305–14.

44 See the excellent discussion of this idea in Claire Colebrook, ‘Introduction’ in Claire Colebrook and Ian Buchanan (eds) Deleuze and Feminist Theory (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2000), 1–17.
