Résumé:
Dials, knobs, microphones, clocks; heads, hands, breath, voices. Ernst Schoen joined Frankfurt Radio in the 1920s as programmer and accelerated the potentials of this collision of bodies and technologies. As with others of his generation, Schoen experienced crisis after crisis, from the violence of war, the suicide of friends, economic collapse, and a brief episode of permitted experimentalism under the Weimar Republic for those who would foster aesthetic, technical, and political revolution. The counterreaction was Nazism—and Schoen and his milieux fell victim to it, found ways out of it, or hit against it with all their might. ''Dissonant waves'' tracks the life of Ernst Schoen—poet, composer, radio programmer, theorist, and best friend of Walter Benjamin from childhood—as he moves between Frankfurt, Berlin, Paris, and London. It casts radio history and practice into concrete spaces, into networks of friends and institutions, into political exigencies and domestic plights, and into broader aesthetic discussions of the politicization of art and the aestheticization of politics. Through friendship and comradeship, a position in state-backed radio, imprisonment, exile, networking in a new country, re-emigration, ill-treatment, neglect, Schoen suffers the century and articulates its broken promises.

Résumé:
''Sonic Signatures'' interprets the music of contemporary migrants from Montreal to Rotterdam, Oslo to Tokyo. Drawing on research in urban musicology, international migration, and the emerging field of night studies, this edited volume illustrates that sonic signatures are fundamental to nighttime cityscapes, a way of experiencing space and belonging. Contributors to the anthology consider a wide array of genres—including EDM, batida do gueto, and iSicathamiya—to understand how migrants resist oppression, long for people and places, and shape their adopted cities through music.

Résumé:
The crackling of a campfire. The scratch, hiss, and pop of a vinyl record. The first glug of wine as it is poured from a bottle. These are just a few of writer Caspar Henderson’s favorite sounds. In ''A book of noises,'' Henderson invites readers to use their ears a little better—to tune in to the world in all its surprising noisiness. Describing sounds from around the natural and human world, the forty-eight essays that make up A Book of Noises are a celebration of all things ''auraculous.'' Henderson calls on his characteristic curiosity to explore sounds related to humans (anthropophony), other life (biophony), the planet (geophony), and space (cosmophony). Henderson finds the beauty in everyday sounds, like the ringing of a bell, the buzz of a bee, or the ''earworm'' songs that get stuck in our heads.''A book of noises'' also explores the marvelous, miraculous sounds we may never get the chance to hear, like the deep boom of a volcano or the quiet, rustling sound of the Northern Lights. ''A book of noises'' will teach readers to really listen to the sounds of the world around them, to broaden and deepen their appreciation of the humans, animals, rocks, and trees simultaneously broadcasting across the whole spectrum of sentience.

Résumé:
Du Big Bang au silence absolu, de l’écholocalisation des chauves-souris à la Symphonie n° 11 de Chostakovitch, en passant par les grésillements d’un disque vinyle, les crépitements d’une aurore boréale ou encore la longue résonance d’un bonsho japonais, les quarante-huit chapitres d’ « Une histoire naturelle des sons » nous font prêter l’oreille au monde fascinant des sonorités qui nous entourent. Avec sa prodigieuse érudition scientifique et son sens unique du merveilleux, Caspar Henderson nous ouvre la voie des espaces sonores méconnus ou inaccessibles, plus généralement de l’aventure des sons, qu’ils appartiennent à des temps très anciens, ou qu’ils demeurent l’objet de spéculations scientifiques — quand ils ne relèvent pas carrément de la science-fiction.

Résonner, réverbérer, paysager, cartographier, retentir : une réflexion philosophique sur le lieu du son, de l'esthétique musicale à l'habitat sonore, au croisement des études du son, de la musique et de la technique, et de la phénoménologie. Que signifie le fait que le son ait (un) lieu, à l'ère du son enregistré et donc délocalisé ? En cinq parties, l'ouvrage se propose de questionner le lieu du son (qui est aussi, mais pas seulement, celui de la musique), en se donnant pour point de départ l'émergence, au cours du XIXe siècle, des techniques de son enregistrement. Il faut mobiliser la physique (résonner), l'acoustique architecturale (réverbérer), l'écologie sonore (paysager) et le soundmapping (cartographier), mais aussi, in fine, la phénoménologie (retentir), pour savoir si le son a vraiment lieu, si son retentissement n'est pas bien plutôt l'éclatement de toute assignation possible à un lieu.

Résumé:
Riferendosi ad un vuoto progettuale di almeno 50 anni (con genesi nella dialettica tra Adorno e Benjamin degli anni Trenta, fino alla musica concettuale di John Cage di metà Novecento e agli esiti ultimi di Philip Glass), Andrea Branzi riconferma in questo saggio la propria posizione di sovvertitore delle logiche concettuali e spaziali del progetto: come fenomeno “inatteso”, la Musica contemporanea genera nuovi prototipi urbani, compositivi, cognitivi inaspettati. L’inatteso, nello specifico, non è solo la musica come generativa di un nuovo layer urbano, ma è una terza via di pensiero sullo spazio in toto. Spazio che viene disassato dalle logiche compositive visive e oggettuali tipiche della modernità, matrice di una prassi monodirezionata, verso una dimensione più aperta, orizzontale, sensoriale: una nuova esperienza intellettuale e di immaginazione.
