In Sensing Sound Nina Sun Eidsheim offers a vibrational theory of
music that radically re-envisions how we think about sound, music,
and listening. Eidsheim shows how sound, music, and listening are
dynamic and contextually dependent, rather than being fixed,
knowable, and constant. She uses twenty-first-century operas by
Juliana Snapper, Meredith Monk, Christopher Cerrone, and Alba
Triana as case studies to challenge common assumptions about
sound-such as air being the default medium through which it
travels-and to demonstrate the importance a performance's location
and reception play in its contingency. By theorizing the voice as
an object of knowledge and rejecting the notion of an a priori
definition of sound, Eidsheim releases the voice from a
constraining set of fixed concepts and meanings. In Eidsheim's
theory, music consists of aural, tactile, spatial, physical,
material, and vibrational sensations. This expanded definition of
music as manifested through material and personal relations
suggests that we are all connected to each other in and through
sound. Sensing Sound will appeal to readers interested in sound
studies, new musicology, contemporary opera, and performance
studies.
