LISTENING TO NOISE AND SILENCE - SALOME VOEGELI...

Listening to Noise and Silence engages with the emerging practice of sound art and the
concurrent development of a discourse and theory of sound. In this original and challenging
work  Salomé Voegelin immerses the reader in concepts of listening to sound artwork and the
everyday acoustic environment  establishing an aesthetics and philosophy of sound and promoting
the notion of a sonic sensibility. A multitude of sound works are discussed  by lesser known
contemporary artists and composers (for example Curgenven  Gasson and Federer)  historical
figures in the field (Artaud  Feldman and Cage)  and that of contemporary canonic artists such
as Janet Cardiff  Bill Fontana  Bernard Parmegiani  and Merzbow. Informed by the ideas of
Adorno  Merleau-Ponty and others  the book aims to come to a critique of sound art from its
soundings rather than in relation to abstracted themes and pre-existing categories. Listening
to Noise and Silence broadens the discussion surrounding sound art and opens up the field for
others to follow.
