Building on ideas from cognitive metaphor theory, Making Sense of
Recordings offers a new perspective on record production, music
perception, and the aesthetics of recorded sound. It shows how the
language about sound is intimately connected to sense-making - both
as a reflection of our internal cognitive capacities and as a
component of our extended cognitive system. In doing so, the book
provides the foundation for a broader understanding of the history
of listening, discourses of sound quality, and artistic practices
in the age of recorded music. The book will be of interest to
anyone who asks how recorded music sounds and why it sounds as it
does, and it will be a valuable resource for musicology students
and researchers interested in the analysis of sound and the history
of listening and record production. Additionally, sound engineers
and laptop musicians will benefit from the book's exploration of
the connection between embodied experiences and our cognitively
processed experiences of recorded sound. The tools provided will be
useful to these and other musicians who wish to intuitively
interact with recorded or synthesized sound in a manner that more
closely resembles the way they think and that makes sense of what
they do.
