The second sound

"The Second Sound is an imaginary conversation between musicians and sound artists on the role of gender and sex within their field. It gathers testimonies from a variety of artists from different backgrounds into a single stream of (often contrary) opinions. Together, they address questions like: How do life circumstances find their way into music and sound art? How does music reflect historical and social structures? What does discrimination do, and how can we navigate around it? How to unlock networks? Is the under-representaiton of women and LGBTQ people in the field a symptom or a cause? Is art itself gendered? And can it reflect the gender of its maker? Is a different way of listening needed to more accurately understand those voices from outside the historical canon?"
