Summary:
Agnès Gayraud explores all the paradoxes of pop — its inauthentic authenticity, its mass production of emotion and personal resonance, its repetitive novelty, its precision engineering of seduction — and calls for pop (in its broadest sense, encompassing all genres of popular recorded music) to be recognised as a modern technologically-mediated art form to rank alongside(...)

Summary:
Hyatt has spent the last four years collecting sounds and arranging them into uniquely site-responsive music. Working collaboratively under the name Field Works, musicians from around the world have contributed over 50 new compositions to this massive collection. In "Metaphonics: The Field Works Listener’s Guide", Hyatt contributes a complete track-by-track guide to the 7-album Field Works box set, addressing from many angles the interpretation of place through sound. Renowned naturalist Bernie Krause writes the book’s foreword, establishing a taxonomy of the soundscapes explored in the book’s essays: geophony (earth sounds), biophony (animal sounds), anthropophony (human sounds) and cosmophony (sounds from outer space).

Summary:
From Gordon Matta-Clark to Lawrence Weiner, Bruce Nauman to Alison Knowles, the question of site locates itself in issues of public space, at the intersection of the imagined and the real, at the juncture of performance and architectural production. By anthologizing essays, documents, and interviews by leading critics, historians, and artists on issues of site-specificity, conceptualism, feminism, and architecture practice, "Surface Tension" reveals the connections between cultural production and the very spaces in which such work functions. These textual explorations are complemented by extensive documentation of related projects, both historical and contemporary, by artists, architects, and performance artists, including 'Coughing Piece', a never-before released 1961 audio work by Yoko Ono; an obscure audio work by Nauman from 1969; projects by Suzanne Lacy, a leading figure in the development of conceptual practice and public art; and an experimental text by Jane Rendell on psychic architectures. Conversations occur between the pages of "Surface Tension", between theoretical analysis and modes of practice, that activate the publication as a site itself, one participating in a broad field of knowledge. Includes an audio CD of the sound art pieces. Artists Include: Gordon Matta-Clark, Lawrence Weiner,Jan Hofer, Melissa Dyne, Kim Abeles, Carol Brown, Christof Migone, Michael Rakowitz, Eyal Weizman, Rafael Lazano-Hemmer, Tanja Jordan, Lizzie Scott, Tim Durfee, Lize Mogel, Suzanne Lacy, Michael Asher, Bruce Nauman, Lucky Kitchen, Michael Prime, Alison Knowles, and Yoko Ono, amongst others.

Summary:
Compositeur, architecte, mais aussi ingénieur civil et mathématicien, Iannis Xenakis (1922-2001), s'est sans répit investi dans la création, produisant une œuvre protéiforme marquée d'un engagement personnel indémenti. Né en Roumanie, il achève ses études en Grèce tout en s'engageant dans la Résistance durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il est gravement blessé puis condamné à mort dans son pays ; il est réfugié politique en France à partir de 1947, et débute sa carrière d'architecte chez Le Corbusier. Cet ouvrage rassemble pour la première fois l'ensemble des écrits de Iannis Xenakis consacrés à l'architecture et aux relations entre musique et architecture - à commencer par le texte fondateur «Musique, Architecture» (1971). Le dépouillement des archives personnelles de Xenakis a notamment révélé la richesse du matériel traitant d'architecture - articles, correspondances, conférences, écrits théoriques, réflexions programmatiques - complétant les esquisses et les projets architecturaux eux-mêmes. Complété d'un index critique illustré de l'ensemble des projets et réalisations (Sven Sterken), d'une large bibliographie (Makis Solomos) et d'un tableau chronologique biographique, le présent volume reprend le matériel originel de Xenakis (présenté et commenté par Sharon Kanach), structuré en quatre parties : «Les années Le Corbusier», «La ville cosmique et autres écrits», «Xenakis, architecte indépendant», «Les Polytopes».

Summary:
The legacy of radio and the arts has spawned many forms of radical culture over the years, from early Modernist notions of the "Wireless imagination" and its subsequent vernacular tongues to Acoustic Ecology's call for "Radical radio". This contemporary history of radical radio addresses the transformation of this broadcast medium by recent breakthroughs in digital technology - from digital streaming to web radio and podcasting - paying special attention to the "transmission arts" in culture and politics. It includes creative and critical essays by historians, media theorists, radio producers and activists, coupled with artistic and audio projects by current avant-gardists Kabir Carter, Brandon LaBelle, James Sey and others. While "Modern" radio stitched together an electronic network by expanding outward, today's radio may fulfill Marshall McLuhan's idea of the global "extended nervous system" by networking individual lives on more of a cellular level. According to the authors, radio is no longer out there, in the ether, but inside us, transmitting intense stratifications of culture. Comes with audio CD

Summary:
We experience spaces not only by seeing but also by listening. We can navigate a room in the dark, and "hear" the emptiness of a house without furniture. Our experience of music in a concert hall depends on whether we sit in the front row or under the balcony. The unique acoustics of religious spaces acquire symbolic meaning. Social relationships are strongly influenced by the way that space changes sound. In Spaces Speak, Are You Listening?, Barry Blesser and Linda-Ruth Salter examine auditory spatial awareness: experiencing space by attentive listening. Every environment has an aural architecture. The audible attributes of physical space have always contributed to the fabric of human culture, as demonstrated by prehistoric multimedia cave paintings, classical Greek open-air theaters, Gothic cathedrals, acoustic geography of French villages, modern music reproduction, and virtual spaces in home theaters. Auditory spatial awareness is a prism that reveals a culture's attitudes toward hearing and space. Some listeners can learn to "see" objects with their ears, but even without training, we can all hear spatial geometry such as an open door or low ceiling. Integrating contributions from a wide range of disciplines--including architecture, music, acoustics, evolution, anthropology, cognitive psychology, audio engineering, and many others--Spaces Speak, Are You Listening? establishes the concepts and language of aural architecture. These concepts provide an interdisciplinary guide for anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of how space enhances our well-being. Aural architecture is not the exclusive domain of specialists. Accidentally or intentionally, we all function as aural architects.
