About the book
Explores acousmatic sound - sound coming from outside the field of vision, from somewhere beyond. An unusual and neglected word 'acousmatic' was first introduced into modern parlance in the mid-1960s by avant garde composer of musique concrète Pierre Schaeffer. Working through, and often against, Schaeffer's ideas, Brian Kane presents a powerful argument for the central yet overlooked role of acousmatic sound in music aesthetics, sound studies, literature, philosophy and the history of the senses.
