Comment (0)Douglas Kahn: The Aelectrosonic (2011)
Filed under book | Tags: · electromagnetism, electronic music, sound art, sound recording
“Kontraste Cahier #1, The Aelectrosonic is published on occasion of the Kontraste festival Imaginary Landscapes (2011). In this richly illustrated book sound historian Douglas Kahn explores the notion of the Aelectrosonic, the electromagnetic analogue of the Aeolian, and locates the roots of electronic music in the 19th century when Thomas Watson listened in to the sounds of the telephone wires.
Kontraste Cahier #1, The Aelectrosonic is the first in what will be a series of small books, each centered around a commissioned essay.”

Comment (1)Matthew Nudds, Casey O’Callaghan (eds.): Sounds and Perception: New Philosophical Essays (2009)
Filed under book | Tags: · acoustics, electronic music, listening, perception, phenomenology, sound recording, speech
– A ground-breaking collection of essays on an underexplored topic in philosophy
– A comprehensive introduction will be useful for specialists and non-specialists alike
– All essays published here for the first time
Sounds and Perception is a collection of original essays on auditory perception and the nature of sounds – an emerging area of interest in the philosophy of mind and perception, and in the metaphysics of sensible qualities. The individual essays discuss a wide range of issues, including the nature of sound, the spatial aspects of auditory experience, hearing silence, musical experience, and the perception of speech; a substantial introduction by the editors serves to contextualise the essays and make connections between them. This collection will serve both as an introduction to the nature of auditory perception and as the definitive resource for coverage of the main questions that constitute the philosophy of sounds and audition. The views are original, and there is substantive engagement among contributors. This collection will stimulate future research in this area.
