Summary:
As the status of sound in art and music evolves and redefines itself, so too does sound art find new ways of describing its history. See This Sound compiles a huge number of artists, filmmakers, composers and performers, reaching back into the early twentieth century and into the present to survey overlaps between not only sound and art, sound and film, and the metaphor(...)

See This Sound compiles a huge number of artists, filmmakers, composers and performers, reaching back into the early twentieth century and into the present to survey overlaps between not only sound and art, sound and film, and the metaphor of cinema as rhythm or symphony. Proceeding chronologically, the book takes the early cinematic “eye music” of Hans Richter as a starting point, noting parallel works by Walter Ruttmann and Oskar Fischinger; moving into the postwar period, the art/cinema/ music experiments of Peter Kubelka, Valie Export and Michael Snow are discussed, establishing precedents to similar work by Rodney Graham, Carsten Nicolai, Jeremy Deller and many others. In its scope and intelligence, See This Sound is a unique survey of this realm.

Summary:
Acoustic Territories: Sound Culture and Everyday Life offers an expansive reading of auditory life. It provides a consideration of the performative dynamics inherent to sound culture and acts of listening, and discusses how auditory studies may illuminate understandings of contemporary society. Combining research on urbanism, popular culture and auditory issues, it opens up multiple perspectives. Brandon LaBelle traces auditory life through a topographic structure: beginning with underground territories, through to the home as a site, and then further, to streets and neighborhoods, and finally to the sky itself. This structure follows sound as it appears in specific auditory designs, as it is mobilized within various cultural projects, and queries how it comes to circulate through everyday life as a medium for social transformation.

Summary:
The history of listening must be constructed from narratives of myth and fiction, silent arts such as painting, the resonance of architecture, auditory artefacts and nature. In such contexts, sound often functions as a metaphor for mystical revelation, instability, forbidden desires, disorder, formlessness, the unknown, unconscious and extra-human, a representation of(...)

Summary:
The history of listening must be constructed from narratives of myth and fiction, silent arts such as painting, the resonance of architecture, auditory artefacts and nature. In such contexts, sound often functions as a metaphor for mystical revelation, instability, forbidden desires, disorder, formlessness, the unknown, unconscious and extra-human, a representation of immaterial worlds. As if reading a map of hitherto unexplored territory, Sinister Resonance deciphers sounds and silences buried within the ghostly horrors of Arthur Machen, Shirley Jackson, Charles Dickens, Algernon Blackwood, M.R. James and Edgar Allen Poe, seventeenth century Dutch genre painting from Rembrandt to Vermeer, artists as diverse as Francis Bacon and Juan Munoz, Ad Reinhardt and Piero Della Francesca, and the writing of many modernist authors, including Virginia Woolf, Samuel Beckett, James Joyce and William Faulkner. Threaded through the book is Marcel Duchamp's curious observation "One can look at seeing but one can't hear hearing" and his concept of the infra-thin, those human experiences so fugitive that they exist only in the imaginative absences of perception.

Summary:
This volume is a collection of essays by thirty contributors, all internationally recognized performers of Xenakis' music. Many of these artists have worked closely with Xenakis and several works are discussed by their dedicatees. These testimonies prove, through real life experience and performance, the feasibility of realizing his very difficult writing, not only attested to by those close to the composer during his lifetime, but also by the younger generation that continues to be drawn to it. Each essay gives a new perspective: on what the composer was really looking for, on tricks of the trade for negotiating treacherously technical prowess, or on the attainment of an enhanced sense of self through the performance of this music. Following an extensive preface by Kanach, who collaborated closely with Xenakis from the late 1970s until his death in 2001, the book is divided into chapters organized by family of instruments. Every instrument of the orchestra is discussed by its practitioner; issues unique to the voice, as well as ensemble and orchestral works are explored, and two contributions concern the performance of Xenakis pioneering electronic works.

Pour définir le sens de la musique, il faudrait revenir aux notions simples de sens, de messages-signaux à ces sens, et de pensées véhiculées par ces signaux. Le point donc de départ et d'arrivée est l'homme.

Pour définir le sens de la musique, il faudrait revenir aux notions simples de sens, de messages-signaux à ces sens, et de pensées véhiculées par ces signaux. Le point donc de départ et d'arrivée est l'homme. La musique étant un message (véhiculé par la matière) entre la nature et l'homme ou entre les hommes entre eux, elle doit être apte à parler à toute la gamme humaine de perception et d'intelligence. De plus, l'homme aimera toujours chanter puisqu'il a une voix, et toujours danser puisqu'il a un corps en liberté. L'expansion prodigieuse du jazz, avec ses rythmes de danse puissants et ses mélodies brutales, qui contrastaient avec la somnolence des musiques légères ou folkloriques, en est une démonstration. Un courant constant entre la nature biologique de l'homme et les constructions de l'intelligence doit être établi, sinon les prolongements abstraits de la musique actuelle risquent de s'égarer dans un désert de stérilité.

Summary:
Sounding New Media examines the long-neglected role of sound and audio in the development of new media theory and practice, including new technologies and performance art events, with particular emphasis on sound, embodiment, art, and technological interactions. Frances Dyson takes an historical approach, focusing on technologies that became available in the mid-twentieth century-electronics, imaging, and digital and computer processing-and analyzing the work of such artists as John Cage, Edgard Varèse, Antonin Artaud, and Char Davies. She utilizes sound's intangibility to study ideas about embodiment (or its lack) in art and technology as well as fears about technology and the so-called "post-human."

The fidelity to the ordering of the original German editions allows some of the less well-known essays (such as those on Ravel and Offenbach) to thematically and stylistically resonate in the company of the famous (and infamous) works on Beethoven, Schubert, Schoenberg and jazz.
