Sound Unseen: Acousmatic Sound in conception and perform explores the phenomenon of acousmatic sound. An strange and overlooked note, "acousmatic" was once first brought into glossy parlance within the mid-1960s by means of avant garde composer of musique concrète Pierre Schaeffer to explain the event of listening to a valid with no seeing its reason. operating via, and infrequently opposed to, Schaeffer's rules, Brian Kane offers a strong argument for the critical but neglected position of acousmatic sound in song aesthetics, sound experiences, literature, philosophy and the historical past of the senses. Kane investigates acousmatic sound from a couple of methodological views -- ancient, cultural, philosophical and musical -- and offers a framework that is sensible of the numerous awesome and paradoxical ways in which unseen sound has been understood. Finely exact and punctiliously researched, Sound Unseen pursues unseen sounds via a beautiful array of instances -- from Bayreuth to Kafka's "Burrow," Apollinaire to Žižek, tune and metaphysics to structure and automata, and from Pythagoras to the present-to provide the definitive account of acousmatic sound in idea and practice.
The first significant research in English of Pierre Schaeffer's concept of "acousmatics," Sound Unseen is an important textual content for students of philosophy of track, digital song, sound experiences, and the historical past of the senses.
