Description

The art of sound organization, also known as electroacoustic music, uses sounds not available to traditional music making, including pre-recorded, synthesized, and processed sounds. The body of work of such sound-based music (which includes electroacoustic art music, turntable composition, computer games, and acoustic and digital sound installations) has developed more rapidly than its musicology. Understanding the Art of Sound Organization proposes the first general foundational framework for the study of the art of sound organization, defining terms, discussing relevant forms of music, categorizing works, and setting sound-based music in interdisciplinary contexts.

Leigh Landy's goal in this book is not only to create a theoretical framework but also to make sound-based music more accessible--to give a listener what he terms "something to hold on to," for example, by connecting elements in a work to everyday experience. Landy considers the difficulties of categorizing works and discusses such types of works as sonic art and electroacoustic music, pointing out where they overlap and how they are distinctive. He proposes a "sound-based music paradigm" that transcends such traditional categories as art and pop music. Landy defines patterns that suggest a general framework and places the study of sound-based music in interdisciplinary contexts, from acoustics to semiotics, proposing a holistic research approach that considers the interconnectedness of a given work's history, theory, technological aspects, and social impact.

The author's ElectroAcoustic Resource Site (EARS, www.ears.dmu.ac.uk), the architecture of which parallels this book's structure, offers updated bibliographic resource abstracts and related information.

描述

聲音組織的藝術,也被稱為電聲音樂,使用傳統音樂製作中無法使用的聲音,包括預錄、合成和處理過的聲音。這種以聲音為基礎的音樂作品(包括電聲藝術音樂、唱片機作曲、電腦遊戲和聲音裝置)的發展速度比音樂學更快。《理解聲音組織的藝術》提出了第一個通用的基礎框架,用於研究聲音組織的藝術,定義術語,討論相關的音樂形式,分類作品,並將以聲音為基礎的音樂置於跨學科的背景中。

Leigh Landy在這本書中的目標不僅是創建一個理論框架,還要使以聲音為基礎的音樂更容易理解-例如,通過將作品中的元素與日常經驗聯繫起來,給聽眾提供他所稱之為“可以抓住的東西”。Landy考慮了將作品分類的困難,並討論了聲音藝術和電聲音樂等作品類型,指出它們的重疊和獨特之處。他提出了一個“以聲音為基礎的音樂範式”,超越了藝術和流行音樂等傳統類別。Landy定義了一些暗示一般框架的模式,並將對以聲音為基礎的音樂的研究置於跨學科的背景中,從聲學到符號學,提出了一種綜合性的研究方法,考慮了一個作品的歷史、理論、技術方面和社會影響的相互聯繫。

作者的電聲資源網站(EARS,www.ears.dmu.ac.uk)的架構與本書的結構相似,提供了更新的文獻資源摘要和相關信息。
