Music, Sound and Space is the first collection to integrate
research from musicology and sound studies on music and sound as
they mediate everyday life. Music and sound exert an inescapable
influence on the contemporary world, from the ubiquity of MP3
players to the controversial use of sound as an instrument of
torture. In this book, leading scholars explore the spatialisation
of music and sound, their capacity to engender modes of publicness
and privacy, their constitution of subjectivity, and the politics
of sound and space. Chapters discuss music and sound in relation to
distinctive genres, technologies and settings, including sound
installation art, popular music recordings, offices and hospitals,
and music therapy. With international examples, from the Islamic
soundscape of the Kenyan coast, to religious music in Europe, to
First Nation musical sociability in Canada, this book offers a new
global perspective on how music and sound and their spatialising
capacities transform the nature of public and private experience.
