Description
Sonic Possible Worlds: Hearing the Continuum of Sound by Salome Voegelin explores the relationship between sound and its critical languages. Traditional musical compositions and contemporary sonic outputs are often approached through distinct critical frameworks, making it challenging to conduct a comprehensive study of the field. This book proposes a new analytical framework that can access and investigate works across genres and times, enabling comparative engagement with diverse sounds. By juxtaposing David K Lewis' Possible World with Maurice Merleau-Ponty's life-world, Voegelin creates a meeting point for semantic and phenomenological inquiry at the place of listening. This approach allows for a more nuanced understanding of sound art, music, and their intersections. The book brings together seemingly disparate works, including those by Henry Purcell, Nadia Boulanger, Shilpa Gupta, Christina Kubisch, Chris Watson, Francisco López, and Louise Bourgeois. Voegelin's work offers a fresh perspective on the study of sound, encouraging readers to reconsider their understanding of this fundamental aspect of human experience.
