Description

Writing the Field Recording Sound, Word, Environment explores the relationship between sound and writing in contemporary literature and music. This collection of essays draws on expertise from a range of backgrounds to investigate the sounded field in music and its connection to poetry, poetics, and nature writing. The book includes seminal pieces on field thinking, contributions from published poets, and critical reflections on artistic practice. It also features accompanying sound recordings made accessible via the Resources tab on the Edinburgh University Press website. By examining the various registers in which the field recording is written, the collection offers an inter-disciplinary exploration of sound in relation to literature and music.
