In Sudden Noises from Inanimate Objects, the complete works of the prodigiously cranky composer Simon Silber get their diablolical due from Silber's official biographer -- a man who grows to hate his subject. Not content with simply discussing Silber's odd musical oeuvre -- whose highlights include an hourlong performance of the \"Minute Waltz,\" an etude composed on a telephone keypad, and a transcription of crow caws -- the commentator veers into a delightfully venomous exposé of a musician whose grandiose ambitions far exceed his actual talent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 061838278X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618382781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/19\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 4.92w x 0.70d","brand":"Christopher Miller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44302072971519,"sku":"9780618382781","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef477253-1287-4ab0-81fa-4df268b20049.jpg?v=1695159362","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sudden-noises-from-inanimate-objects-christopher-miller-9780618382781","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
