(available to order)
Summary:
Japan's leading electronic composer and sound artist Ryoji Ikeda (born 1966) focuses on the building blocks of sound and aural minutiae, often deploying frequencies at the very edges of human hearing. His albums +/- (1997) and Matrix (2001) spread this soundworld of sine waves and ambient glitchery to a wider audience; since then, he has exhibited and collaborated(...)

His albums +/- (1997) and Matrix (2001) spread this soundworld of sine waves and ambient glitchery to a wider audience; since then, he has exhibited and collaborated (notably with Carsten Nicolai) across the world. A homage to Musique Concrète pioneer Pierre Schaeffer's Solfege de l'objet sonore, Dataphonics began as a monthly broadcast on France culture's Atelier de Création Radiophonique, in which Ikeda created a highly physical auditory experience based on the idea of binary-logic data made audible, “to materialize the invisible domain of ‘totally pure digital data.'” This book and CD includes spreads of graphic scores, codes, symbols and the composition itself, recomposed from the ten segments in which it was originally conceived.

Summary:
Sound can be deployed to produce discomfort, express a threat, or create an ambience of fear or dread - to produce a bad vibe. Sonic weapons of this sort include the “psychoacoustic correction” aimed at Panama strongman Manuel Noriega by the U.S. Army and at the Branch Davidians in Waco by the FBI, sonic booms (or “sound bombs”) over the Gaza Strip, and high-frequency rat(...)

Summary:
Sound can be deployed to produce discomfort, express a threat, or create an ambience of fear or dread - to produce a bad vibe. Sonic weapons of this sort include the “psychoacoustic correction” aimed at Panama strongman Manuel Noriega by the U.S. Army and at the Branch Davidians in Waco by the FBI, sonic booms (or “sound bombs”) over the Gaza Strip, and high-frequency rat repellants used against teenagers in malls. At the same time, artists and musicians generate intense frequencies in the search for new aesthetic experiences and new ways of mobilizing bodies in rhythm. In Sonic Warfare, Steve Goodman explores these uses of acoustic force and how they affect populations. Traversing philosophy, science, fiction, aesthetics, and popular culture, he maps a (dis)continuum of vibrational force, encompassing police and military research into acoustic means of crowd control, the corporate deployment of sonic branding, and the intense sonic encounters of sound art and music culture. Goodman concludes with speculations on the not yet heard - the concept of unsound, which relates to both the peripheries of auditory perception and the unactualized nexus of rhythms and frequencies within audible bandwidths

Sounds belong to the City. They determine spaces and identities. For years, artists have been using city noises as a material to stage or to question urban space - new territory, however, for most architects and planners within the routines of functional planning rocedures.

Summary:
This is David Byrne’s celebration of a subject he has spent a lifetime thinking about. In it he explores how profoundly music is shaped by its time and place, and he explains how the advent of recording technology in the twentieth century forever changed our relationship to playing, performing, and listening to music.

À travers l’évocation d’expériences souvent hors du commun, Oliver Sacks explore la dimension musicale de l’homme : comment la musique nous habite, nous change et parfois même nous guérit. Souvent perçue comme dénuée de signification, la musique nous touche pourtant à plusieurs degrés. Elle a sur nous une portée émotionnelle, qu’elle nous arrache à la dépression ou(...)

Summary:
À travers l’évocation d’expériences souvent hors du commun, Oliver Sacks explore la dimension musicale de l’homme : comment la musique nous habite, nous change et parfois même nous guérit. Souvent perçue comme dénuée de signification, la musique nous touche pourtant à plusieurs degrés. Elle a sur nous une portée émotionnelle, qu’elle nous arrache à la dépression ou qu’elle nous rende mélancolique. Nous incitant à la danse, elle est aussi une expérience sensorielle. Il arrive même que notre rapport à elle soit symptomatique d’un problème médical ; inversement elle peut avoir des vertus thérapeutiques. Il y avait donc matière à s’interroger sur la dimension musicale de l’homme pour un neurologue aussi compétent et curieux qu’Oliver Sacks. Et c’est en déployant une galerie de portraits – du chirurgien devenu pianiste après avoir été frappé par la foudre au frère manchot de Wittgenstein, en passant par les familiers de la synesthésie ou les arriérés mentaux mélomanes – qu’il questionne les rapports du cerveau et de la musique.
