Résumé:
Sound can be deployed to produce discomfort, express a threat, or create an ambience of fear or dread - to produce a bad vibe. Sonic weapons of this sort include the “psychoacoustic correction” aimed at Panama strongman Manuel Noriega by the U.S. Army and at the Branch Davidians in Waco by the FBI, sonic booms (or “sound bombs”) over the Gaza Strip, and high-frequency rat(...)

Résumé:
Sound can be deployed to produce discomfort, express a threat, or create an ambience of fear or dread - to produce a bad vibe. Sonic weapons of this sort include the “psychoacoustic correction” aimed at Panama strongman Manuel Noriega by the U.S. Army and at the Branch Davidians in Waco by the FBI, sonic booms (or “sound bombs”) over the Gaza Strip, and high-frequency rat repellants used against teenagers in malls. At the same time, artists and musicians generate intense frequencies in the search for new aesthetic experiences and new ways of mobilizing bodies in rhythm. In Sonic Warfare, Steve Goodman explores these uses of acoustic force and how they affect populations. Traversing philosophy, science, fiction, aesthetics, and popular culture, he maps a (dis)continuum of vibrational force, encompassing police and military research into acoustic means of crowd control, the corporate deployment of sonic branding, and the intense sonic encounters of sound art and music culture. Goodman concludes with speculations on the not yet heard - the concept of unsound, which relates to both the peripheries of auditory perception and the unactualized nexus of rhythms and frequencies within audible bandwidths

Understanding the historical meaning of the MP3 format entails rethinking the place of digital technologies in the larger universe of twentieth-century communication history, from hearing research conducted by the telephone industry in the 1910s, through the mid-century development of perceptual coding (the technology underlying the MP3), to the format's promiscuous social life since the mid 1990s.

For years, artists have been using city noises as a material to stage or to question urban space - new territory, however, for most architects and planners within the routines of functional planning rocedures. Tuned City: Between Sound and Space Speculation searches for a new evaluation of architectural spaces from the perspective of acoustics. This volume presents various positions of architects, artists and theorists to expand the architectural discourse with the dimension of listening.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
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.
