Reviews:

"Tara Rodgers's examination of women as central figures in the creative processes of twenty-first-century art and music is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of music in our hyper-connected and hyper-post-everything contemporary life." - Paul D. Miller (aka DJ Spooky)

"Pink Noises is an excellent addition to a still-too-short shelf of anthologies that compile composer interviews such as Soundpieces by Cole Gagne and William Duckworth's Talking Music. Like Gagne and Duckworth, Rodgers heeds no boundaries, venturing across styles and genres... I'm hoping for a sequel." - Christopher DeLaurenti, The Stranger (Seattle)
