In this book, David Brown locates jazz music within the broad aesthetic, political, and theoretical upheavals of our time, asserting that modern architecture and urbanism in particular can be strongly influenced and defined by the ways that improvisation is facilitated in jazz.

Summary:
In this book, David Brown locates jazz music within the broad aesthetic, political, and theoretical upheavals of our time, asserting that modern architecture and urbanism in particular can be strongly influenced and defined by the ways that improvisation is facilitated in jazz. Improvised music consists of diverse properties that fail to register in the object-oriented understanding of composition. As a result, it is often dismissed as noise — an interfering signal. However, Brown asserts, such interference can bear meaning and stimulate change. "Noise orders" identifies how architecture can respond to the inclusive dynamics of extemporaneous movements, variable conceptions of composition, multiple durations, and wide manipulation of resources found in jazz to enable outcomes that far exceed a design’s seeming potential. By exploring overlapping moments between modernism and the cultural dimensions of jazz, "Noise orders" suggests that the discipline of improvisation continues to open and redefine architectural theory and practice, creating a world where designers contribute to emerging environments rather than make predetermined ones. Comparing modern and avant-garde artists and architects with individuals and groups in jazz—including Piet Mondrian and boogie-woogie, John Cage and Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Le Corbusier and Louis Armstrong, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM)—Brown examines how jazz can offer alternative design ideas and directions, be incorporated in contemporary architectural practices, and provide insight on how to develop dynamic metropolitan environments. Interdisciplinary in its approace, "Noise orders" argues for a deeper understanding of the infinite potential inherent in both music and architecture.

Summary:
How do we build or make a voice together? Can we imagine the voices we make in the form of a skin, a multi-sensory interface that behaves both as a boundary and as a point of connection? What does such a voice capacitate in times of crises and uncertainties? In ''Building a Voice: Sound, Surface, Skin'', Zeynep Bulut explores these questions. She examines the(...)

What does such a voice capacitate in times of crises and uncertainties? In ''Building a Voice: Sound, Surface, Skin'', Zeynep Bulut explores these questions. She examines the multi-sensory and collective forms of voice making in experimental music, sound and media art in conversation with the use of voice in creative interventions for environmental crisis, experiences of voice hearing, and digital technologies of artificial and tactile speech.

Summary:
Comprehensive and illuminating, ''Orpheus in the Underworld'' centers on Adorno’s concrete and immediate engagement with musical compositions and their interpretation in the concert hall and elsewhere. Here, Adorno registers his initial encounters with the compositions of the Second Viennese School, when he had yet to integrate them into a broad aesthetics of music. Complementarily essays on Bela Bartók, Jean Sibelius, and Kurt Weill afford insight into his understanding of composers who did not fit neatly into the dialectical schema propounded in the Philosophy of New Music. Additionally, essays on recording and broadcasting show Adorno engaging with these media in a spirit that is no less productive than polemical and focused as sharply on their potentialities as on their shortcomings.

Que signifie le fait que le son ait (un) lieu, à l'ère du son enregistré et donc délocalisé ? En cinq parties, l'ouvrage se propose de questionner le lieu du son (qui est aussi, mais pas seulement, celui de la musique), en se donnant pour point de départ l'émergence, au cours du XIXe siècle, des techniques de son enregistrement. Il faut mobiliser la physique (résonner), l'acoustique architecturale (réverbérer), l'écologie sonore (paysager) et le soundmapping (cartographier), mais aussi, in fine, la phénoménologie (retentir), pour savoir si le son a vraiment lieu, si son retentissement n'est pas bien plutôt l'éclatement de toute assignation possible à un lieu.

Summary:
This book highlights sound's invisible, disruptive, and affective qualities and asks whether the unseen nature of sound can support a political transformation. In ''Sonic agency'', Brandon LaBelle sets out to engage contemporary social and political crises by way of sonic thought and imagination. He divides sound's functions into four figures of resistance -- the invisible, the overheard, the itinerant, and the weak -- and argues for their role in creating alternative "unlikely publics" in which to foster mutuality and dissent. He considers issues of disappearance and hidden culture, nonviolence and noise, creole poetics, and networked life, aiming to unsettle traditional notions of the "space of appearance" as the condition for political action and survival.

The festival focused on a theme that resonates deeply when thinking about the contemporary – namely, what it means to be human, to be part of a world that is an ever changing network. Many different ‘noises’ were featured and produced at the festival conference, in the clubs, museums, and cinemas. This book is by no means a definite conclusion: more of a reminder and a chance to continue speculating about the strange and anxious state of being. The Noise of Being features contributions by Arie Altena, Ingrid Burrington, Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, Rick Dolphijn, Jennifer Gabrys, Louis Henderson, Jamon Van Den Hoek, Joey Holder, Rosa Menkman, Metahaven, Nina Power, The Rodina, Daniel Rourke, Lucas van der Velden, Eyal Weizman, Ytasha Womack, and Juha van ’t Zelfde.
