Sound (Whitechapel: Documents of Contemporary Art) Paperback – February 4, 2011

This was a really great book that included several different aspects of sound and sound theory. I read this book cover to cover taking notes and was always inspired and curious by the things I was reading and learning. This is a great book to use while you are in the process of creating sound art because it helps keep you in the right frame of mind by allowing you to focus on sound theory and also by letting you consider works created by other sound artists. The small article format is nice because it helps to break up all of the concepts so that you can thoroughly focus on each one.

A cohesive survey of the theories and history of [don't call it] sound art. I'd recommend compiling Spotify or Apple playlists of the material as youre going through, many of the artists and musicians mentioned can be found there. You might even be able to search for mine under 'soundart.curated.' Happy hunting audio art nerds!

This book is simply amazing. The texts cover a wide range of theoretical thoughts in regard to sound, its perception, use in art etc. I recommend this book to everyone interested in the theory of sound both in the everyday and in an art context. The selection of authors covers more or less everyone relevant in the field of sound. Great book, I love it!

Thanks

Great for my dissertation, lots of interesting essays and information on sound art as well as music. I love this series of books for any art topic!

The book arrived with in a week in perfect condition. Good services, cheaper than the premium services. A must have/read book if you're fascinated by contemporary art and sound.

A quote farm. Really badly structured and only useful for pulling relevant quotes.If you've been suggested this for visual culture, chose another!
