Is writing about sound like dancing about architecture? Not when it's done by New Zealand's Bruce Russell, who works in sound under his own name and as a member of The Dead C. A past member of A Handful of Dust, Russell is also known for curating the internationally noted record labels XPRESSWAY and Corpus Hermeticum. This collection of essays written over the last 16 years reflects on sound, its role in culture, and Russell's thoughts toward a technique of incognito.

Summary:
John Cage's disdain for records was legendary. He repeatedly spoke of the ways in which recorded music was antithetical to his work. In Records Ruin the Landscape, David Grubbs argues that, following Cage, new genres in experimental and avant-garde music in the 1960s were particularly ill suited to be represented in the form of a recording. These activities include(...)

Summary:
John Cage's disdain for records was legendary. He repeatedly spoke of the ways in which recorded music was antithetical to his work. In Records Ruin the Landscape, David Grubbs argues that, following Cage, new genres in experimental and avant-garde music in the 1960s were particularly ill suited to be represented in the form of a recording. These activities include indeterminate music, long-duration minimalism, text scores, happenings, live electronic music, free jazz, and free improvisation.

Summary:
Le chant de l’oiseau-lyre d’Australie, les vents de Patagonie, les flûtes sacrées Aré’ aré des Îles Salomon, les vibrations des bâtiments de nos villes ou les louanges exaltées des pêcheurs de perles de Bahreïn ne sont que quelques exemples des innombrables sons et musiques abordés dans cet ouvrage consacré à la pratique du field recording, de l’enregistrement de terrain. Tout au long du xxe siècle, des hommes ont parcouru le monde afin de capter des curiosités sonores pour des raisons scientifiques, patrimoniales et esthétiques. Ce sont des audio-naturalistes, des collecteurs de musique traditionnelle, mais aussi des compositeurs avides de découvrir un nouveau matériau musical. Les microphones sont leurs outils, voire leurs instruments, l’écoute est leur méthode d’approche. En sortant du studio, ils prennent le risque de se confronter à l’imprévisible, à l’incontrôlable, au fragile parfois. Ils se nomment Alan Lomax, Chris Watson ou encore Luc Ferrari. Cent disques rendent ici compte de leur quête, toujours en cours, du « chant du monde ». Une riche introduction et trois interviews de figures majeures du field recording (Jean C. Roché, Bernard Lortat-Jacob et Peter Cusack) complètent cette anthologie.

Summary:
This diminutive artist s book is a translation of the universe of ambient sound amplified within the soaring space of the Chartres Cathedral.

The resulting book is a literal tone poem, in which each page represents one minute of sound. Horvers work is featured in a number of museums and private collections, including the Drawing Center, New York, and the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam.
