Description
Sounds in Translation: Intersections of music, technology and society
joins a growing number of publications taking up R. Murray Schafer’s
challenge to examine and to re-focus attention on the sound dimensions
of our human environment. This book takes up his challenge to
contemporary audiologists, musicologists and sound artists working
within areas of music, cultural studies, media studies and social
science to explore the idea of the ‘soundscape’ and to investigate the
acoustic environment that we inhabit. It seeks to raise questions
regarding the translative process of sound: 1) what happens to sound
during the process of transfer and transformation; and 2) what
transpires in the process of sound production/expression/performance. Sounds in Translation
was conceived to take advantage of new technology and a development in
book publishing, the electronic book. Much of what is written in the
book is best illustrated by the sound itself, and in that sense,
permits sound to ‘speak for itself’.
