Stereo is everywhere. The whole culture and industry of music and
sound became organized around the principle of stereophony during
the twentieth century. But nothing about this-not the invention or
acceptance or ubiquity of stereo-was inevitable. Nor did the
aesthetic conventions, technological objects, and listening
practices required to make sense of stereo emerge fully formed, out
of the blue. This groundbreaking book uncovers the vast amount of
work that has been required to make stereo seem natural, and which
has been necessary to maintain stereo's place as a dominant mode of
sound reproduction for over half a century. The essays contained
within this book are thematically grouped under (Audio) Positions,
Listening Cultures, and Multichannel Sound and Screen Media; the
cumulative effect is to advance research in music, sound, and media
studies and to build new bridges between the fields. With
contributions from leading scholars across several disciplines,
Living Stereo re-tells the history of twentieth-century aural and
musical culture through the lens of stereophonic sound.
