From music to sound : the emergence of sound in 20th- and 21st-century music / Makis Solomos. - 336 pages : illustrations (black and white), music ; 24 cm. - Routledge research in music . - Routledge research in music. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
An examination of the six musical histories whose convergence produces the emergence of sound, offering a plural, original history of new music and showing how music had begun a change of paradigm, moving from a culture centred on the note to a culture of sound. Each chapter follows a chronological progression and is illustrated with numerous musical examples. The chapters are composed of six parallel histories: timbre, which became a central category for musical composition; noise and the exploration of its musical potential; listening, the awareness of which opens to the generality of sound; deeper and deeper immersion in sound; the substitution of composing the sound for composing with sounds; and space, which is progressively viewed as composable.
