A little bird told me about this, as they found it looking for an article I did on noise in 2012.
It's a master thesis for Victoria University of Wellington, and is 149 pages.
I've read 20 of them so far, and scrolled around.
I may read the whole thing. It's very comprehensive and may stir some creativity or inspiration.

There is a good amount of talk about odd releases with bizarre packaging.
