David Toop

4.9/5 (20730 ratings)

Description:Is it possible to grow electronic sounds, as if they were plants in a garden? Can the resonance of an empty room be played like a musical instrument? Why are childhood memories of sound and silence so important to our emotional development? Is it valid to classify audio recordings of wind or electrical hum as musical compositions? Can computers replace more conventional instruments like the piano or the electric guitar? How can improvisation coexist with computer software? Why have the sounds of our environment become so vital to sound artists and why is atmosphere so important in music?In Haunted Weather, David Toop asks these questions and gauges the impact of new technology on contemporary music. Partly personal memoir, partly travel journal, the book explores ways in which the body survives and redefines the boundaries in a period of intense, unsettling change and disembodiment. At the heart of the book is how sound and silence in space, in memory and in the action of performance acquire meaning. Haunted Weather is a book that maps the 21st century sound just as Toop's Ocean of Sound mapped the sound of the 20th century.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
