Barrett, G. Douglas,
After sound : toward a critical music / G. Douglas Barrett. - 243 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 23 cm
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This volume considers contemporary art practices that reconceive music beyond the limitation of sound. The book is called 'After Sound' because music and sound are, in Barrett's account, different entities. While musicology and sound art theory alike typically equate music with pure instrumental sound, or absolute music, Barrett posits music as an expanded field of artistic practice encompassing a range of different media and symbolic relationships.
