|  A Sound Art BookshelfSince Edgard Varèse defined music as “organized sound” in the first half of the twentieth century--paving the way for musique concrète and the experiments of John Cage--it has been possible to approach acoustic phenomena as one would any tangible material, that is, to arrange or distort sound without considerations of melody, harmony or the classical composition. The term “sound art” arose in the U.S. in the 1980s, to describe the work of a number of artists who had made purely sound-based art alongside other kinds of practices, and has since occupied an ambiguous interzone between the “cultures” of art and music. The artists/musicians below pursue a primarily sound-derived or sound-oriented art; some of them, such as Christian Marclay and Brandon LaBelle, are among the first generation of artists to work exclusively in this fertile ground. | TITLE ALPHABETICAL INDEX Edited by Catherine Morris.

In Sound Stories, American artist and composer Christian Marclay (born 1955) fuses art and technology, using Snapchat videos as raw material.

| NEW PUBLICATION Edited with text by Elisabeth Schimana.
In the late 1990s, alarmed at the lack of research or information about female electronic musicians in the avant-garde, the Swiss composer, artist and musician Elisabeth Schimana (born 1958) began a decades-long project of searching out these practitioners, culminating in her foundation of the Institute for Media Archaeology.
Hidden Alliances draws on her research, profiling 25 female artists and their work—including Maryanne Amacher, Beatriz Ferreyra, Heidi Grundmann, Electric Indigo, Anne La Berge, liane Radigue, Elisabeth Schimana, Andrea Sodomka, Liesl Ujvary, Rebekah Wilson and others.
This illustrated volume offers an alternative history of the creation and development of electronic music, opening up the . . . .go to book page >> |  | Free Shipping UPS GROUND IN THE CONTINENTAL U.S.
