Sounds of the Pandemic offers one of the first critical analyses of
the changes in sonic environments, artistic practice, and listening
behaviour caused by the Coronavirus outbreak.
This multifaceted collection provides a detailed picture of a wide array
of phenomena related to sound and music, including soundscapes, music
production, music performance, and mediatisation processes in the
context of COVID-19. It represents a first step to understanding how the
pandemic and its by-products affected sound domains in terms of
experiences and practices, representations, collective imaginaries, and
socio-political manipulations.
This book is essential reading for students, researchers, and
practitioners working in the realms of music production and performance,
musicology and ethnomusicology, sound studies, and media and cultural
studies.
