|  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.

| | | Sound Art: Recommended Reading, Reference Books & Catalogs | NEW PUBLICATION By Micah Silver.
In this volume, theorist and sound artist Micah Silver addresses the impact of sound on human behavior and social space. Silver’s research ranges from Yves Klein’s Air Architecture to La Monte Young’s Dream House, and culminates in a discussion of historically significant sound systems, from discos, Monterey and Woodstock to the GRM studio, and their physical and experiential impacts, such as the Grateful Dead’s famous Wall of Sound custom PA. Disambiguating sound from audio, Silver defines sound as the domain of physics” in order to examine its phenomenology in the world, and audio as a process that employs technology to . . . .go to book page >> |  | Free Shipping UPS GROUND IN THE CONTINENTAL U.S.

Goat Music is the documentation for David Shrigley’s (born 1968) film Laughterhouse, about goats whose cries sound like humans. Contrasting the limits of comedy with the unlimited appetite of goats, this limited artist’s edition is a prime example of Shrigley’s biting humor.
Comprising a picture disc and an artist’s book, and published in a limited edition of 1,000, Goat Music includes recordings of the goats in the film as well as the soundtrack Shrigley composed to accompany the opening performance in Hydra.
