Résumé:
Dials, knobs, microphones, clocks; heads, hands, breath, voices. Ernst Schoen joined Frankfurt Radio in the 1920s as programmer and accelerated the potentials of this collision of bodies and technologies. As with others of his generation, Schoen experienced crisis after crisis, from the violence of war, the suicide of friends, economic collapse, and a brief episode of permitted experimentalism under the Weimar Republic for those who would foster aesthetic, technical, and political revolution. The counterreaction was Nazism—and Schoen and his milieux fell victim to it, found ways out of it, or hit against it with all their might. ''Dissonant waves'' tracks the life of Ernst Schoen—poet, composer, radio programmer, theorist, and best friend of Walter Benjamin from childhood—as he moves between Frankfurt, Berlin, Paris, and London. It casts radio history and practice into concrete spaces, into networks of friends and institutions, into political exigencies and domestic plights, and into broader aesthetic discussions of the politicization of art and the aestheticization of politics. Through friendship and comradeship, a position in state-backed radio, imprisonment, exile, networking in a new country, re-emigration, ill-treatment, neglect, Schoen suffers the century and articulates its broken promises.

Résumé:
''Sonic Signatures'' interprets the music of contemporary migrants from Montreal to Rotterdam, Oslo to Tokyo. Drawing on research in urban musicology, international migration, and the emerging field of night studies, this edited volume illustrates that sonic signatures are fundamental to nighttime cityscapes, a way of experiencing space and belonging. Contributors to the anthology consider a wide array of genres—including EDM, batida do gueto, and iSicathamiya—to understand how migrants resist oppression, long for people and places, and shape their adopted cities through music.

Résumé:
New perspectives on sound have generated a wave of scholarship in musicology, cultural studies, and the social sciences. But the equally important rise of sound in the arts since 1960 has so far been sparsely documented. This volume is the first sourcebook to provide, through original critical writings and artists’ statements, a genealogy of sonic pathways into the arts, philosophical reflections on the meanings of noise and silence, dialogues between art and music, investigations of the role of listening and acoustic space, and a comprehensive survey of sound works by international artists from the avant-garde era to the present.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
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
