Résumé:
Dire le 'sonore' a été une des gageures de l’écriture esthétique et, au XXe siècle, on aura plus largement insisté sur la structure et la forme, au détriment de la sensation, en affirmant la toute-puissance du discours. Mais il suffit de porter l’oreille à une conque marine pour que le son de la mer qu’on y entend, ébranle les édifices, mette à bas les échafaudages rhétoriques de « ce qu’entendre veut dire ». Dans ce livre, François J. Bonnet explore les voix fantômes, l’inframince du son, le sampling, la phonographie et les résonances dont notre univers est peuplé et qui échappent aujourd’hui à la forme traditionnelle de l’écoute. Il ouvre sur des archipels sonores inouïs, éphémères et précaires comme les TAZs (Zones autonomes temporaires), mais riches de nouvelles expériences d’écoute, propres à éduquer nos oreilles à mieux entendre l’imperceptible.

Résumé:
Profoundly intimate yet immediately giving onto distant spaces, both an ‘organ of fear’ and an echo chamber of anticipated pleasures, an uncontrollable flow subject to unconscious selection and augmentation, the subtlety, complexity, and variety of modes of hearing has meant that sound has rarely received the same philosophical attention as the visual. In "The order of sounds", François J. Bonnet makes a compelling case for the irreducible heterogeneity of ‘sound’, navigating between the physical models constructed by psychophysics and refined through recording technologies, and the synthetic production of what is heard. From primitive vigilance and sonic mythologies to digital sampling and sound installations, he examines the ways in which we make sound speak to us, in an analysis of listening as a plurivocal phenomenon drawing on Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Barthes, Nancy, Adorno, and de Certeau, and experimental pioneers such as Tesla, Bell, and Raudive. Stringent critiques of the ‘soundscape’ and ‘reduced listening’ demonstrate that univocal ontologies of sound are always partial and politicized; for listening is always a selective fetishism, a hallucination of sound filtered by desire and convention, territorialized by discourse and its authorities. Bonnet proposes neither a disciplined listening that targets sound ‘itself’, nor an ‘ocean of sound’ in which we might lose ourselves, but instead maps out a sonorous archipelago—a heterogeneous set of shifting sonic territories shaped and aggregated by the vicissitudes of desire and discourse.

Au confluent des arts visuels et de la musique, les partitions graphiques de "voir dans le vent qui hurle les étoies rire, et rire" se présentent comme de véritables oeuvres autonomes conviant le regardeur à s'immerger dans l'univers du compositeurs montréalais Symon Henry. Le créateur nous livre un grand fleuve intranquille où se conjuguent les traits de plomb, de fusain et de pastel gras. À travers ces 168 dessins, il nous invite à voir et à entendre sa musique, en écho au concert d'ouverture du pavillon Pierre Lassonde qui s'est tenu le 18 septembre 2016, faisant résonner encore un peu les notes de cet événement aussi unique que nécessaire.

Résumé:
Près de vingt ans après leur « concert » mythique dans les ruines de Pompéi (1971), les membres du groupe de rock progressif Pink Floyd, pour la plupart formés en écoles d'architecture à Londres, décident, lors de leur tournée mondiale « A Momentary Lapse of Reason » en 1989, d'offrir à Venise et en world live un concert flottant devant la place Saint-Marc. Contraint par des impératifs antagonistes de nappes sonores architecturées, de réverbérations acoustiques ingérables et de préservation du patrimoine classé, cet impossible concert s'inscrit à la fois dans l'histoire des grands concerts rock et dans celle des édifices flottants de la Sérénissime. Mais au lieu de fêter le Rédempteur, l'évènement virera finalement à la polémique et au fiasco.

Résumé:
During the Cold War era, the songs that Soviet citizens could listen to were ruthlessly controlled by the state. But a secret underground subculture of music lovers and bootleggers defied the censors, building recording machines and making their own records of forbidden jazz, rock 'n' roll, and Russian music, cut onto used hospital x-ray film. Foregrounding interviews and oral testimonies gathered over five years, this volume presents the stories of the original bone bootleggers, their customers, musicians, record collectors, and commentators, evoking a spirited resistance to a repressive culture of prohibition and punishment. Richly illustrated with dozens of new images of Soviet x-ray discs and sound letters, the book details how the bootleggers worked, outlining the technical precedents of their techniques, situating their discs in a revised history of recorded media, and bringing a wealth of compelling new detail.

Résumé:
In the years following the arrival of the Windrush generation, the UK’s soundsystem culture would become the most important influence on contemporary pop music since rock and roll. Pumped through towering, home-built speakers, often directly onto the thronged streets of events like the Notting Hill Carnival, the pulsating bass lines of reggae, dub, rave, jungle, trip hop, dubstep, and grime have shaped the worlds of several generations of British youth culture but have often been overlooked by historians obsessed with swinging London, punk, and Britpop. This oral history, consisting of new interviews conducted by dance music writer Joe Muggs, presents the story of the bassline of Britain, in the words of those who lived and shaped it. Features interviews with Dubmaster Dennis Bovell, Norman Jay MPE, Youth, Adrian Sherwood, Skream, Rinse FM’s Sarah Lockhart and many others.
