Sound shapes our world in invisible but significant ways, and here
Caspar Henderson brings his characteristic curiosity, knowledge and
sense of wonder to the subject to take us on an exhilarating
journey through the heard universe. A Little Book of Noises gathers
together sounds from the cosmos, the natural world, the human
world, and the invented world, as well as containing quiet pockets
of silence. From the vast sound of sand in the desert to the
tuneful warble of a songbird, to the meditative resonance of a
temple bell and the improvisational melodies of jazz, this is a
celebration of all things auricular.
