Soundscapes profoundly connect listeners to the places they inhabit and thereby reveal the
vibrant and resonant fabrics that lie beneath the delineated spaces of visual representation.
In Resonant Fabrics Marvin Heine explores and celebrates the many-layered and ambiguously
undulating sense- and soundscapes as they shape and are shaped by urban cultures and particular
ways of listening. By examining historical documents contemporary accounts and original
empirical material through a combination of actor-network-theory ecology and sound studies
scholarship he embraces in a stylistically embodied and often poetic manner the sonic urban
world in all its fragile ephemeral yet deeply affective sonority.
