In its favour, the work consistently forces the listener off-track to think critically about just what it is that makes listening so powerful and so elusive. * Will Montgomery, The Wire, August 2010 *\u003cbr\u003eReviewed in the London Review of Books 23 September (UK) * London Review of Books *\u003cbr\u003eListening to Noise and Silence will be  of interest to a great many people following breakthrough trends within art and  philosophy. * Art Monthly *\u003cbr\u003eSalome Voegelin has written an excellent book about sound art, escaping cliché and easy categorizations. She establishes a proper aesthetics and philosophy of sound, with a compelling phenomenological account of noise and silence. * Neural *\u003cbr\u003eIn Voegelin's evocative image, noise holds the  listener hostage to his or her own listening... Listening to Noise and Silence contains many moments that sound artists and others will find insightful. * Avant Music News *\u003cbr\u003eThere cannot be a concluding remark to encompass \u003ci\u003eListening to Noise and Silence\u003c\/i\u003e. You might not even completely ‘understand’ it if you refuse to ‘feel’ it and ‘know’ it or if you aim at making ends meet evenly. It will question you, it will confuse you, it will exhilarate you. It will prompt you to reinvent it over and over: in listening, in writing. * Journal of Sonic Studies *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements; Introduction; Part one Listening; Part two Noise; Part three Silence; Part four Time and Space; Part five Now; Bibliography; List of Works; Notes; Index.","brand":"Continuum Publishing Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408337936727,"sku":"9781441162076","price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781441162076.jpg?v=1730502499","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/listening-to-noise-and-silence-towards-a-philosophy-of-sound-art-toward-a-philosophy-of-sound-art-9781441162076","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
