Résumé:
Résonner, réverbérer, paysager, cartographier, retentir : une réflexion philosophique sur le lieu du son, de l'esthétique musicale à l'habitat sonore, au croisement des études du son, de la musique et de la technique, et de la phénoménologie. 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.

"A year of deep listening" is a publication of 365 scores for listening gathered by the Center for Deep Listening in celebration of the legacy of groundbreaking composer Pauline Oliveros. Originally begun online, in honor of what would have been Oliveros’ 90th birthday (May 30, 2022), the project shared one score per day across social media for 365 days. The book version of"A year of deep listening" brings these scores together into one beautiful and historic volume. An expression of the Deep Listening community, the scores were created by over 300 artists—ranging from prize winning composers to ear-minded grocery store clerks, from those who worked closely with Oliveros for decades to those who never met her.

Résumé:
The crackling of a campfire. The scratch, hiss, and pop of a vinyl record. The first glug of wine as it is poured from a bottle. These are just a few of writer Caspar Henderson’s favorite sounds. In ''A book of noises,'' Henderson invites readers to use their ears a little better—to tune in to the world in all its surprising noisiness. Describing sounds from around the natural and human world, the forty-eight essays that make up A Book of Noises are a celebration of all things ''auraculous.'' Henderson calls on his characteristic curiosity to explore sounds related to humans (anthropophony), other life (biophony), the planet (geophony), and space (cosmophony). Henderson finds the beauty in everyday sounds, like the ringing of a bell, the buzz of a bee, or the ''earworm'' songs that get stuck in our heads.''A book of noises'' also explores the marvelous, miraculous sounds we may never get the chance to hear, like the deep boom of a volcano or the quiet, rustling sound of the Northern Lights. ''A book of noises'' will teach readers to really listen to the sounds of the world around them, to broaden and deepen their appreciation of the humans, animals, rocks, and trees simultaneously broadcasting across the whole spectrum of sentience.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
Riferendosi ad un vuoto progettuale di almeno 50 anni (con genesi nella dialettica tra Adorno e Benjamin degli anni Trenta, fino alla musica concettuale di John Cage di metà Novecento e agli esiti ultimi di Philip Glass), Andrea Branzi riconferma in questo saggio la propria posizione di sovvertitore delle logiche concettuali e spaziali del progetto: come fenomeno “inatteso”, la Musica contemporanea genera nuovi prototipi urbani, compositivi, cognitivi inaspettati. L’inatteso, nello specifico, non è solo la musica come generativa di un nuovo layer urbano, ma è una terza via di pensiero sullo spazio in toto. Spazio che viene disassato dalle logiche compositive visive e oggettuali tipiche della modernità, matrice di una prassi monodirezionata, verso una dimensione più aperta, orizzontale, sensoriale: una nuova esperienza intellettuale e di immaginazione.

When all else fails, when our compass is broken, there is one thing some of us have come to rely on: music really can give us a sense of something like home. With "It gets me home, this curving track," legendary music critic Ian Penman reaches for a vanished moment in musical history when cultures collided and a certain kind of cross-generational and "cross-colour" awareness was born. His cast of characters includes the Mods, James Brown, Charlie Parker, Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, John Fahey, Steely Dan and Prince – black artists who were innovators, and white musicians who copied them for the mainstream.

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.

Résumé:
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.
