Performance Research Volume 15 Issue 3

On Listening

Issue editors: Catherine Laws

ISBN: 978-0-415-55684

Sound has particular characteristics that can be exploited and explored artistically. However, even in the fields of music and sound art the act of listening and the role of the listener are ascribed far less attention than questions of artistic intention, execution, or sonic materiality. On Listening draws together perspectives from a range of fields, paying particular attention to manifestations of listening as a reflective process towards and in performance, as a performative act, and as an embodied process. The volume includes artists’ pages and a related CD.
