Résumé:
This second volume in the "See this Sound" series offers in-depth studies of the historical development and theoretical foundations of the overlap between visual and aural culture. The essays are gathered into two sections. The first section opens with Simon Shaw-Miller's history of the field, from 1800 to the present; Christian Holler discusses "artistic approaches to image/sound relationships in pop culture"; and Sandra Naumann looks at "the musicalization of the visual arts in the twentieth century." The second section, "Sound & Image," includes Hans Beller on film scoring; Diedrich Diederichsen on visual traditions in pop music; Katja Kwastek on music devices and art machines; Birgit Schneider on "Hearing Eyes and Seeing Ears"; and Chris Salter on the neuroscience and aesthetics of immersion, absorption and dissolution in audiovisual art. An epilogue by Michel Chion explores the cognitive conditions of audio experience

Résumé:
Cette musique déroule le temps lentement, se déplie et se déploie, mais ne se feuillette pas à la légère. Et elle est essentiellement un exercice de solitaire, ou en tout cas une musique que l’on écoute à la maison le plus souvent seul et lorsque l’on voudrait voir la nuit tomber très vite. Impossible de la faire tenir dans un ipod, impossible non plus d’en parler dans les dîners mondains. Essayez d’expliquer à votre voisin de table ou de bureau que vous écoutez un disque de La Monte Young, il commencera par ne pas vous comprendre, vous demander de répéter ce nom étrange, pour finir par se dire que vous n’êtes sans doute pas tout à fait normal. Ce qu’il ignore, c’est qu’au-delà de La Monte Young, existe un univers foisonnant de musiciens anxieux et avides de créer une musique suspendue, tenue longtemps, lentement, qui prend son temps.

Résumé:
Des futuristes des années 1910 aux réductionnistes à l’amorce des années 2000, l’histoire de la musique du vingtième siècle (et du vingt-et-unième naissant) aura été marquée par l’idée d’expérimentation. Celle-ci, et pas seulement dans l’avant-garde, paraît s’être exprimée dans tous les domaines apparus alors, qu’il s’agisse entre autres de la musique électroacoustique, du jazz (quand celui-ci s’est dit « free » par exemple) ou du rock (qu’il ait été « kraut » dans les années 1970 en Allemagne, « en opposition » au milieu des mêmes années en Europe, ou encore « bruitiste » au Japon dans les années 1990). Comme si la musique, quand elle souhaite échapper à l’intimidation dominante, devait perpétuellement s’inventer afin de continuer à être. Voilà l’histoire que raconte cette anthologie, au travers d’indomptables réfractaires à toute forme d’académisme.

Résumé:
In Sonic Somatic, the sound artist and theorist Christof Migone looks at sound art's overlap with other disciplines through its particular uses of articulation. Articulation is explored here in all of its guises: its negation as silence, its interruption in stuttering and its somatic ramifications in the human body. Migone looks at French playwright and poet Antonin Artaud's writings, with their implications of strangled speech and glossolalia; American composer Alvin Lucier's groundbreaking 1969 recording “I Am Sitting in a Room”; Erik Satie's looped composition “Vexations”; Marina Abramovic's confrontational performance “Rhythm 0”; Adrian Piper's “Untitled Performance for Max's Kansas City”; Herman Melville's short story “Bartleby, the Scrivener”; Bob Connolly and Robin Anderson's documentary film First Contact; and of course the work that most looms over this topic: John Cage's paradigm-shifting 1952 composition “4'33” .”

Résumé:
One of Japan’s leading electronic composers, Ryoji Ikeda (born 1966) manipulates sound in various “raw” states, often using frequencies at the very limits of human hearing. Occupying a unique soundworld between ambient electronica, sinewave noise and glitch beats, Ikeda’s music has expanded into art contexts more extensively than any of his contemporaries. Datamatics is a long-term art project that explores our reception of miniscule audio and visual data. Developed between 2006–2012, it consists of an audiovisual concert, installations, publications, a radio program and a CD. This book documents most of the works from the series, emphasizing three major Datamatics exhibitions presented in Yamaguchi (Japan 2008), Bogota (Columbia 2011) and Gijon (Spain 2012). Alongside graphic material relating to the production processes such as data sources, graphic scores and technical diagrams, the book also includes texts by curators Kazunao Abe, Maria Belen Sez de Ibarra and Benjamin Weil.

Résumé:
Japan's leading electronic composer and sound artist Ryoji Ikeda (born 1966) focuses on the building blocks of sound and aural minutiae, often deploying frequencies at the very edges of human hearing. His albums +/- (1997) and Matrix (2001) spread this soundworld of sine waves and ambient glitchery to a wider audience; since then, he has exhibited and collaborated (notably with Carsten Nicolai) across the world. A homage to Musique Concrète pioneer Pierre Schaeffer's Solfege de l'objet sonore, Dataphonics began as a monthly broadcast on France culture's Atelier de Création Radiophonique, in which Ikeda created a highly physical auditory experience based on the idea of binary-logic data made audible, “to materialize the invisible domain of ‘totally pure digital data.'” This book and CD includes spreads of graphic scores, codes, symbols and the composition itself, recomposed from the ten segments in which it was originally conceived.

Résumé:
Sound can be deployed to produce discomfort, express a threat, or create an ambience of fear or dread - to produce a bad vibe. Sonic weapons of this sort include the “psychoacoustic correction” aimed at Panama strongman Manuel Noriega by the U.S. Army and at the Branch Davidians in Waco by the FBI, sonic booms (or “sound bombs”) over the Gaza Strip, and high-frequency rat repellants used against teenagers in malls. At the same time, artists and musicians generate intense frequencies in the search for new aesthetic experiences and new ways of mobilizing bodies in rhythm. In Sonic Warfare, Steve Goodman explores these uses of acoustic force and how they affect populations. Traversing philosophy, science, fiction, aesthetics, and popular culture, he maps a (dis)continuum of vibrational force, encompassing police and military research into acoustic means of crowd control, the corporate deployment of sonic branding, and the intense sonic encounters of sound art and music culture. Goodman concludes with speculations on the not yet heard - the concept of unsound, which relates to both the peripheries of auditory perception and the unactualized nexus of rhythms and frequencies within audible bandwidths
