Sound Works: A Cultural Theory of Sound Design

By (author) Professor Holger Schulze

| on special |

normal price: R 2,107.95

Price: R 2,001.95


| book description |

What is sound design? What is its function in the early 21st century and into the future? Sound Works examines these questions in four parts: Part 1, ""Why This Sound?"", presents an overview of the modern history of sound design. Part 2 is highly visual and provides a glance onto a sound designer's workbench and the current state of ""Sonic Labor."" Part 3 uses cultural analysis to explore our contemporary ""Living with Sounds."" The final and fourth part then proposes a series of anthropological and political interpretations of how “Sound Works” today. This book is not a manual on sound design; it instead argues for a cultural theory of sound design for sound designers and sound artists, for clients who commission a sound design and for researchers in the fields of sound studies, design research, and cultural studies
