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:
Du Big Bang au silence absolu, de l’écholocalisation des chauves-souris à la Symphonie n° 11 de Chostakovitch, en passant par les grésillements d’un disque vinyle, les crépitements d’une aurore boréale ou encore la longue résonance d’un bonsho japonais, les quarante-huit chapitres d’ « Une histoire naturelle des sons » nous font prêter l’oreille au monde fascinant des sonorités qui nous entourent. Avec sa prodigieuse érudition scientifique et son sens unique du merveilleux, Caspar Henderson nous ouvre la voie des espaces sonores méconnus ou inaccessibles, plus généralement de l’aventure des sons, qu’ils appartiennent à des temps très anciens, ou qu’ils demeurent l’objet de spéculations scientifiques — quand ils ne relèvent pas carrément de la science-fiction.

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:
In our image-saturated contemporary society, sight often eclipses other senses that are vital to understanding the unseen dynamics of our sensory relationship with environments. As a counter-project to the hegemony of images, the act of listening opens up new possibilities for exploring both built and natural environments and moving our attention to granting a voice to more-than-human agencies. "Ecotones" showcases investigations on the relevance of sound in territorial studies. It is developed as a curated collection of texts from various disciplines and practitioners exploring spaces, territories, and ecologies through sonic endeavors. With a variety of formats, from essays and fiction pieces to situated case studies, Ecotones narrates sound as a medium, the act of listening as a political tool, and sonic experiments.

This volume explores the political voice as a particular sonic phenomenon, asking how and where it is possible to have a '‘voice'’ in urban politics, the relationship between material and metaphorical readings of political speech, and how voices can be amplified or silenced in cities. Responses explored vocal contestations and noisy citizenship, technologies that transmit or transform voices, and the ways that sound art and experimental music stage collective voicings.
