Background Noise follows the development of sound as an artistic
medium and illustrates how sound is put to use within modes of
composition, installation, and performance. While chronological in
its structure, Brandon LaBelle's book is informed by spatial
thinking - weaving architecture, environments, and the specifics of
location into the work of sound, with the aim of formulating an
expansive history and understanding of sound art. At its center the
book presupposes an intrinsic relation between sound and its
location, galvanizing acoustics, sound phenomena, and the
environmental with the tensions inherent in what LaBelle identifies
as sound's relational dynamic. For the author, this is embedded
within sound's tendency to become public expressed in its ability
to travel distances, foster cultural expression, and define spaces
while being radically flexible. This second expanded edition
includes a new chapter on the non-human and subnatural tendencies
in sound art, revisions to the text as well as a new preface by the
author. Intersecting material analysis with theoretical frameworks
spanning art and architectural theory, performance studies and
media theory, Background Noise makes the case that sound and sound
art are central to understandings of contemporary culture.
