Abstract
In this paper, I suggest that noise music, as a practice that frequently involves broken, hacked, or misused machines, has the potential to provide a voice for Donna Haraway’s figure of the cyborg. Using two examples - the guitar performance style No Wave artist Lydia Lunch and the synth noise duo Neon Hunk, I will argue that, in spite of its typical ‘macho’ rhetoric of violence, domination and aggression, noise music, like Haraway’s cyborg has an ethico-political potential to disrupt binaristic modes of thinking.
