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.

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:
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.

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.

Résumé:
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.

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.

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.

Résumé:
Never before has the everyday soundtrack of urban space been so cacophonous. Since the 1970s, sound researchers have attempted to classify noise, music, and everyday sounds using concepts such as Pierre Shafer's sound object and R. Murray Schafer's soundscape. Recently, the most significant team of soundscape researchers in the world has been concerned with the effects of sounds on listeners. In a multidisciplinary work spanning musicology, electro-acoustic composition, architecture, urban studies, communication, phenomenology, social theory, physics, and psychology, Jean-François Augoyard, Henry Torgue, and their associates at the Centre for Research on Sonic Space and the Urban Environment (CRESSON) in Grenoble, France, provide an alphabetical sourcebook of eighty sonic/auditory effects. Their accounts of sonic effects such as echo, anticipation, vibrato, and wha-wha integrate information about the objective physical spaces in which sounds occur with cultural contexts and individual auditory experience. "Sonic experience" attempts to rehabilitate general acoustic awareness, combining accessible definitions and literary examples with more in-depth technical information for specialists.
