Sonic fiction is everywhere: in conversations about vernacular
culture, in music videos, sound art compositions and on record
sleeves, in everyday encounters with sonic experiences and in every
single piece of writing about sound. Where one can find sounds one
will also detect bits of fiction. In 1998 music critic, DJ and
video essayist Kodwo Eshun proposed this concept in his book "More
Brilliant Than The Sun: Adventures in Sonic Fiction". Originally,
he did so in order to explicate the manifold connections between
Afrofuturism and Techno, connecting them to Jazz, Breakbeat and
Electronica. His argument, his narrations and his explorative
language operations however inspired researchers, artists, and
scholars since then. Sonic Fiction became a myth and a mantra, a
keyword and a magical spell. This book provides a basic
introduction to sonic fiction. In six chapters it explicates the
inspirations for and the transformations of this concept; it
explores applications and extrapolations in sound art and sonic
theory, in musicology, epistemology, in critical and political
theory. Sonic fiction is presented in this book as a heuristic for
critique and activism.
