This book presents the first book-length study of ambient sound as
a key issue in sound studies and sonic philosophy. Taking a broad,
media-philosophical approach, it explores ambient sound as a basic
dimension of the sonic environment, sonic technologies, sonic arts
and the material staging of listening. Through analyses of key
concepts such as surroundability, mediatization, immanence,
synthetization and continuous variation, the book elucidates how
ambient aspects of sound influence our conceptions of what sound is
and how it affects us by exposing sound’s relation to basic
categories such as space, time, environment, medium and
materiality. It also illuminates how the strategic production of
ambient sound constitutes a leading aesthetic paradigm that has
been a decisive factor in the shaping of the modern sonic
environment – from key developments in experimental and popular
music, sound art and cinematic sound design to the
architectural-technological construction of listening spaces in
concert halls and theaters and in current streaming
infrastructures, digital surround sound and the everyday aesthetics
of headphone listening.
