Low End Theory probes the much-mythologized field of bass and
low-frequency sound. It begins in music but quickly moves far
beyond, following vibratory phenomena across time, disciplines and
disparate cultural spheres (including hauntings, laboratories,
organ workshops, burial mounds, sound art, studios, dancefloors,
infrasonic anomalies, and a global mystery called The Hum). Low End
Theory asks what it is about bass that has fascinated us for so
long and made it such a busy site of bio-technological
experimentation, driving developments in science, technology, the
arts, and religious culture. The guiding question is not so much
what we make of bass, but what it makes of us: how does it undulate
and unsettle; how does it incite; how does it draw bodily thought
into new equations with itself and its surroundings? Low End Theory
is the first book to survey this sonorous terrain and devise a
conceptual language proper to it. With its focus on sound's
structuring agency and the multi-sensory aspects of sonic
experience, it stands to make a transformative contribution to the
study of music and sound, while pushing scholarship on affect,
materiality, and the senses into fertile new territory. Through
energetic and creative prose, Low End Theory works to put thought
in touch with the vibratory encounter as no scholarly book has done
before. For more information, visit:
