Is a sound an object, an experience, an event, or a relation? What
exactly does the emerging discipline of sound studies study? Sound
Objects pursues these questions while exploring how history,
culture, and mediation entwine with sound's elusive objectivity.
Examining the genealogy and evolution of the concept of the sound
object, the commodification of sound, acousmatic listening,
nonhuman sounds, and sound and memory, the contributors not only
probe conceptual issues that lie in the forefront of contemporary
sonic discussions but also underscore auditory experience as
fundamental to sound as a critical enterprise. In so doing, they
offer exciting considerations of sound within and beyond its role
in meaning, communication, and information and an illuminatingly
original theoretical overview of the field of sound studies itself.
