From Music to Sound is an examination of the six musical histories
whose convergence produces the emergence of sound, offering a
plural, original history of new music and showing how music had
begun a change of paradigm, moving from a culture centred on the
note to a culture of sound. Each chapter follows a chronological
progression and is illustrated with numerous musical examples. The
chapters are composed of six parallel histories: timbre, which
became a central category for musical composition; noise and the
exploration of its musical potential; listening, the awareness of
which opens to the generality of sound; deeper and deeper immersion
in sound; the substitution of composing the sound for composing
with sounds; and space, which is progressively viewed as
composable. The book proposes a global overview, one of the first
of its kind, since its ambition is to systematically delimit the
emergence of sound. Both well-known and lesser-known works and
composers are analysed in detail; from Debussy to contemporary
music in the early twenty-first century; from rock to electronica;
from the sound objects of the earliest musique concrete to current
electroacoustic music; from the Poeme electronique of Le
Corbusier-Varese-Xenakis to the most recent inter-arts attempts.
Covering theory, analysis and aesthetics, From Music to Sound will
be of great interest to scholars, professionals and students of
Music, Musicology, Sound Studies and Sonic Arts. Supporting musical
examples can be accessed via the online Routledge Music Research
Portal.
