"Earth Sound Earth Signal "is a study of energies in aesthetics and
the arts, from the birth of modern communications in the nineteenth
century to the global transmissions of the present day. Douglas
Kahn begins by evoking the Aeolian sphere music that Henry David
Thoreau heard blowing along telegraph lines and the Aelectrosonic
sounds of natural radio that Thomas Watson heard through the first
telephone; he then traces the histories of science, media, music,
and the arts to the 1960s and beyond. "Earth Sound Earth Signal
"rethinks energy at a global scale, from brainwaves to outer space,
through detailed discussions of musicians, artists and scientists
such as Alvin Lucier, Edmond Dewan, Pauline Oliveros, John Cage,
James Turrell, Robert Barry, Joyce Hinterding, and many others.
