“Sound in art is one of the most fascinating phenomena in modern art. In recent years, more and more people have developed an interest in it: they apparently sense that this form of art touches on a fundamental experience. After all, at the very beginning, all of us got to know the world we live in as an acoustic space, before the sense of sight, which develops later, put us at a distance from the world. This book provides insight into the work of important protagonists of sound art and some of its out-standing representatives from the younger generation: Andres Bosshard, Paul DeMarinis, Rolf Julius, Christina Kubisch, Bernhard Leitner, Andreas Oldörp, Ed Osborn, Martin Riches, Steve Roden, Erwin Stache, Miki Yui. The authors Bernd Schulz, Helda de la Motte-Haber, Robin Minard, Michael Glasmeier, Berhard Leitner and Andres Bosshard discuss the significance of philosophical, phenomenological, psychological, and musicological aspects of sound art.”
