In this original and challenging work, Salom  Voegelin immerses the reader in concepts of listening to sound artwork and the everyday acoustic environment, establishing an aesthetics and philosophy of sound and promoting the notion of a sonic sensibility. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA multitude of sound works are discussed, by lesser known contemporary artists and composers (for example Curgenven, Gasson and Federer), historical figures in the field (Artaud, Feldman and Cage), and that of contemporary canonic artists such as Janet Cardiff, Bill Fontana, Bernard Parmegiani, and Merzbow. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInformed by the ideas of Adorno, Merleau-Ponty and others, the book aims to come to a critique of sound art from its soundings rather than in relation to abstracted themes and pre-existing categories. \u003ci\u003eListening to Noise and Silence\u003c\/i\u003e broadens the discussion surrounding sound art and opens up the field for others to follow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSalomé\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e Voegelin\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Sound at the London College of Communication, UAL.
