It is an excellent example of research-creation, and a welcome addition to the growing body of work in sound studies. * Soundscape: The Journal of Acoustic Ecology *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSonic Rupture \u003c\/i\u003edoubles as a sort of manual on acoustic design of public spaces. In describing his projects and approaches, Lacey spares no technical or organisational detail, providing easily applicable strategies ... Offering valuable insights and innovative approaches to soundscape studies and design, the book certainly deserves to be read with an open mind. * SoundEffects *\u003cbr\u003eI warmly recommend this book to anyone drawn to learn more about the role sound art can play in analyzing, reflecting on, and improving urban soundscapes ... [It offers] interesting openings ... for engaging with and perhaps improving our everyday urban sonic environments. * Journal of Sonic Studies *\u003cbr\u003e[\u003ci\u003eSonic Rupture \u003c\/i\u003ehas] opened a new possible view on the development of music (as a limited field of sound). * International Review of the Aesthetics and Sociology of Music *\u003cbr\u003eGuiding us expertly through aesthetic and intellectual reflections and the practice of his own work, Jordan Lacey literally ruptures the biophilic dream of traditional acoustic ecology and persuasively collapses its idealisation of nature. In its stead he develops the fundamentals for an Urban Soundscape Design that engages the complexity of place and placement. Providing a timely regeneration of soundscape studies, \u003ci\u003eSonic Rupture\u003c\/i\u003e breaks with the complacency of a dialectical hearing, and creates a sonic access to land as an affective earth where we hear noise not as a nuisance but as a sign of limitless potential; and where sound artists and listeners have a mandate for political activism through their joyful participation in the diversification of the urban crust. * Salomé Voegelin, Reader in Sound Arts, University of the Arts London, UK and author of Listening to Noise and Silence (2010) and Sonic Possible Worlds (2014) *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSonic Rupture\u003c\/i\u003e is a timely and provocative intervention in the field of soundscape studies that will be of great interest to theorists and practitioners alike. Combining the insights offered by affect theory with urban sound design practices, Jordan Lacey innovatively counters acoustic ecology’s moralistic characterisations of both the noise of the city and quietude of nature, providing an alternative framework through which to address the politics and potentialities of sound. * Marie Thompson, Lecturer, Lincoln School of Film and Media, University of Lincoln, UK *\u003cbr\u003eWhile many have abandoned Acoustic Ecology in favor of newer, less encumbered terms, Jordan Lacey argues for its enduring relevance while also offering some much-needed updates. His arguments compel us to embrace its legacy by demonstrating a possible way forward for the field. In addition to being a passionate and compelling account of artistic praxis, \u003ci\u003eSonic Rupture\u003c\/i\u003e offers some of the most vital thinking about Acoustic Ecology to be articulated in a generation. * Stephan Moore, Lecturer, Department of Radio\/Television\/Film, Northwestern University, USA and President of the American Society for Acoustic Ecology *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments  Introduction  Shaping Sonic Cities  Creating New Natures  Interlude: The Urban Roar  Noise Meditations  Sonic Rupture  Conclusion  References  Index","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040884851031,"sku":"9781501338571","price":33.24,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781501338571.jpg?v=1750948174","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/sonic-rupture-a-practiceled-approach-to-urban-soundscape-design-9781501338571","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
