Sound Art offers the first comprehensive introduction to sound art
written for undergraduate students.
Bridging and blending aspects of the visual and sonic arts, modern sound
art first emerged in the early 20th century and has grown into a
thriving and varied field. In 13 thematic chapters, this book enables
students to clearly grasp both the concepts behind this unique area of
art, and its history and practice. Each chapter begins with an
exploration of key ideas and theories, followed by an in-depth
discussion of selected relevant works, both classic and current.
Drawing on a broad, diverse range of examples, and firmly
interdisciplinary, this book will be essential reading for anyone
studying or teaching the theory, history, appreciation, or practice of
sound art.
