By: Jasen, Paul C [author.]Material type: Text

TextPublisher: London : Bloomsbury, 2016Description: 320 pages ; 23 cmContent type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9781501309939 (hbk.) :Subject(s): Music -- Acoustics and physics | Musical pitch -- Psychological aspects | Music | MusicDDC classification: 781.2'32 Summary: 'Low End Theory' probes the much-mythologized field of bass and low-frequency sound. It begins in music but quickly moves far beyond, following vibratory phenomena across time, disciplines and disparate cultural spheres (including hauntings, laboratories, organ workshops, burial mounds, sound art, studios, dancefloors, infrasonic anomalies, and a global mystery called The Hum). This work asks what it is about bass that has fascinated us for so long and made it such a busy site of bio-technological experimentation, driving developments in science, technology, the arts, and religious culture.
