Materials of Sound: Sound As (More Than) Sound
Caleb Kelly · Journal of sonic studies · 2018
By examining the materials that produce sound within contemporary art, we can approach sounding works not only from the perspective of “sound as sound” or “sound in itself” but rather as “sound as more than sound.” Sound can never be without a history, culture, or political situation, and by approaching sounding practices in the same manner as we critically approach contemporary art practices, we allow matter to matter. keywords: Materials of sound, Journal of sonic studies, Sound, sound studies, Sonic Studies
