The Logic of Filtering traces the profound impact of technical
media on the sound of music, asking: how do media technologies
shape sound? How does this affect music? And how did it change what
we listen for in music? Since the invention of sound recording in
the second half of the nineteenth century, media that transmit,
record, store, and reproduce physical sound inspired dreams of
perfect reproduction, but were also confronted with the inevitable
introduction of noise. Based on a wide range of historical,
technical and theoretical sources, author Melle Jan Kromhout
explores this one hundred and forty-year history of sound media and
shows why noise should not be understood as unwanted by-effect, but
instead plays a foundational role in shaping the sonic contours of
recorded music. The Logic of Filtering develops an extensive media
archaeological analysis of the 'noise of sound media,' encompassing
all the disturbances, distortions, and interferences that these
media add to the sounds they reproduce. It thereby stands to enrich
our understanding of the way in which sound media changed and
continue to change the sonorous qualities of music, and offers new
perspectives on the interaction between music, media and listeners.
