Sensing Sound

Singing and Listening as Vibrational Practice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Through an analysis of four contemporary operas, Nina Sun Eidsheim offers a vibrational theory of music that radically re-envisions of how we think about sound, music, and listening by challenging common assumptions about sound, freeing it from a constraining set of fixed concepts and meanings.
