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(...)

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.

Summary:
This publication covers fundamental acoustic principles, design criteria, acoustical materials, control strategies, and methods for a wide variety of building types, including educational, healthcare, recreational, residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation facilities. Particular attention is given to places for listening and performance such as theaters, churches, concert and recital halls, outdoor arenas, classrooms, multiuse auditoria, libraries, music practice and rehearsal rooms, recording and broadcast studios, sports venues, home theaters, and other spaces that people meet to communicate and enjoy performance. With fundamental conceptual understanding of basic acoustical principles building designers can confidently create aesthetically and aurally pleasing spaces, while avoiding problems that could be very costly, if not impossible, to solve later.

Summary:
This second volume in the "See this Sound" series offers in-depth studies of the historical development and theoretical foundations of the overlap between visual and aural culture. The essays are gathered into two sections. The first section opens with Simon Shaw-Miller's history of the field, from 1800 to the present; Christian Holler discusses "artistic approaches to image/sound relationships in pop culture"; and Sandra Naumann looks at "the musicalization of the visual arts in the twentieth century." The second section, "Sound & Image," includes Hans Beller on film scoring; Diedrich Diederichsen on visual traditions in pop music; Katja Kwastek on music devices and art machines; Birgit Schneider on "Hearing Eyes and Seeing Ears"; and Chris Salter on the neuroscience and aesthetics of immersion, absorption and dissolution in audiovisual art. An epilogue by Michel Chion explores the cognitive conditions of audio experience

Summary:
Perhaps the only postwar classical composer to invest avant-garde music with overt eroticism, Luc Ferrari (1929-2005) was one of France's leading composers of the twentieth century, relentlessly experimental while always preserving his keen sense of humor. Ferrari was a first-generation exponent of musique concrète, and made brilliant use of field recordings to develop sensual, proto-ambient narrative that he termed "anecdotal music" or "cinema for the ear." Perhaps the most notorious instance of this approach was Danses Organiques (1973), for which Ferrari recorded the meeting and sexual encounter of two young women, cut with other ambient and music sound. In his final decades Ferrari was championed by David Grubbs (of Gastr del Sol), who brought his music to a postrock audience. Almost Nothing is the first publication on this composer. It alternates Jacqueline Caux's interviews with 14 "imaginary autobiographies" by the composer, offering a lively account of new music's most revolutionary era.
