In Chasing Sound, Susan Schmidt Horning traces the cultural and technological evolution of recording studios in the United States from the first practical devices to the modern multi-track studios of ...the analog era. Charting the technical development of studio equipment, the professionalization of recording engineers, and the growing collaboration between artists and technicians, she shows how the earliest efforts to capture the sound of live performances eventually resulted in a trend toward studio creations that extended beyond live shows, ultimately reversing the historic relationship between live and recorded sound.
A former performer herself, Schmidt Horning draws from a wealth of original oral interviews with major labels and independent recording engineers, producers, arrangers, and musicians, as well as memoirs, technical journals, popular accounts, and sound recordings. Recording engineers and producers, she finds, influenced technological and musical change as they sought to improve the sound of records. By investigating the complex relationship between sound engineering and popular music, she reveals the increasing reliance on technological intervention in the creation as well as in the reception of music. The recording studio, she argues, is at the center of musical culture in the twentieth century.
Nos centramos en el análisis de la obra La voz y el silencio (2022), una narración basada en la creación y su difusión en la no presencialidad. El proyecto consiste en una narración albergada en ...formato podcast, lo que facilita la experiencia individual del oyente, quien puede acceder a su contenido desde cualquier momento y lugar. Nos inspiramos en algunos fragmentos de La Odisea de Homero (siglo VIII a. C.). El silencio y la reclusión impuestos provocan que, durante siglos, los viajes y sus relatos sean cosa de hombres. Los cuentos de las mujeres no tienen interés. Sus aventuras son pequeñas. Ellas no viajan. En investigaciones previas analizamos la relación entre el espacio y la narración. Aquí investigamos de manera más específica la relación entre la voz y el silencio, para lo que hemos prescindido por completo de la imagen y del espacio de representación. Hemos realizado grabaciones sonoras en distintos puntos geográficos así como en los trayectos que los conectan. También hemos incluido voces que leen el texto, y sonidos actuales del mar que une o separa las orillas. El proceso de edición y distribución de La voz y el silencio también ha sido virtual.
Sonic Persuasion: Reading Sound in the Recorded Age critically analyzes a range of sounds on vocal and musical recordings, on the radio, in film, and in cartoons to show how sounds are used to ...persuade in subtle ways. Greg Goodale explains how and to what effect sounds can be "read" like an aural text, demonstrating this method by examining important audio cues such as dialect, pausing, and accent in presidential recordings at the turn of the twentieth century. Goodale also shows how clocks, locomotives, and machinery are utilized in film and literature to represent frustration and anxiety about modernity, and how race and other forms of identity came to be represented by sound during the interwar period. In highlighting common sounds of industry and war in popular media, Sonic Persuasion also demonstrates how programming producers and governmental agencies employed sound to evoke a sense of fear in listeners. Goodale provides important links to other senses, especially the visual, to give fuller meaning to interpretations of identity, culture, and history in sound.
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Sound Art explores and delineates what Sound Art is in the 21st century. Sound artworks today embody the contemporary and transcultural trends towards the post-apocalyptic, ...a wide sensorial spectrum of sonic imaginaries as well as the decolonization and deinstitutionalization around the making of sound. Within the areas of musicology, art history, and, later, sound studies, Sound Art has evolved at least since the 1980s into a turbulant field of academic critique and aesthetic analysis. Summoning artists, researchers, curators, and critics, this volume takes note of and reflects the most recent shifts and drifts in Sound Art--rooted in sonic histories and implying future trajectories.
Abstract
Introduction:
Maximum hearing range experienced by the young child is 20Hz-20 kHz. Average middle aged adults can only hear the sounds of frequencies up to 15 kHz. Snoring is considered as a ...hallmark of an OSA disease. The acoustic analysis of snoring sounds has been developed as a promising tool in order to objectively evaluate snoring sounds. This study explores snore sounds from 4Hz to 35 kHz and in particular focuses on the non-human hearing component, i.e.15–35 kHz band. During an apnea event when Upper airways (UA) are fully collapsed, a large pressure difference can generate at the site of the collapse. Mechanical resistance of UA muscles may add some delay to the process of reopening of UA. The generated large pressure difference squeezes air through the narrow opening of UA. We hypothesise that the sound produced during such a condition covers broad spectrum possibly going beyond human hearing range.
Methods:
The snore sound data were recorded from six (Apnea Hypopnea Index range= 4.1 - 122.2) subjects undergoing polysomnography (PSG) test. Snore sound data were acquired with a free-field, condenser microphone. We explored the time domain response of snore sounds in multiple frequency bands covering the range 4Hz to 35 kHz. The response of snore sounds during various respiratory events was analysed by synchronising 15–35 kHz band of snore sound data with the flow and nasal pressure channels from the PSG data.
Results:
We analysed time domain response of 600–3000 snore episodes from each subject. The results of this analysis suggest that post-apneic/hypopneic snore episodes covers broad frequency range and show better existence beyond 15 kHz compared to non-apneic, pre-apneic and hypopneic snore episodes. Snore sounds analysis during respiratory events like breathing, flow limitation, hypopnea and apnea suggest that with an increase in the level of obstruction in the UA, causes airflow and nasal pressure to drop and showing the better existence of snore sounds in 15–35 kHz.
Conclusion:
This study shows that snore sounds of obstructive sleep apnea subjects exist outside the human hearing range.

This cross-disciplinary volume illuminates the history of early phonography from a transnational perspective, recovering the myriad sites, knowledge practices, identities and discourses which ...dynamically shaped early recording cultures. With case studies from China, Australia, the United States, Latin America, Russia, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Portugal, France and Italy, Phonographic Encounters explores moments of interaction and encounter, as well as tensions, between local and global understandings of recording technologies.
Drawing on an array of archival sources often previously unavailable in English, it moves beyond Western-centric narratives of early phonography and beyond the strict confines of the recording industry. Contributions from media history, musicology, popular music studies, cultural studies, area studies and the history of science and technology make this book a key and innovative resource for understanding early phonography against the backdrop of colonial and global power relations.
The Bloomsbury Handbook of Music Production provides a detailed overview of current research on the production of mono and stereo recorded music. The handbook consists of 33 chapters, each written by ...leaders in the field of music production. Examining the technologies and places of music production as well the broad range of practices – organization, recording, desktop production, post-production and distribution – this edited collection looks at production as it has developed around the world. In addition, rather than isolating issues such as gender, race and sexuality in separate chapters, these points are threaded throughout the entire text.

This is not a bookaboutsound. It is a studyofsounds that aims to write the resonance and response they call for. John Mowitt seeks to critique existing models in the expanding field of sound studies ...and draw attention to sound as an object of study that solicits a humanistic approach encompassing many types of sounds, not just readily classified examples such as speech, music, industrial sounds, or codified signals. Mowitt is particularly interested in the fact that beyond hearing and listening we "audit" sounds and do so by drawing on paradigms of thought not easily accommodated within the concept of "sound studies." To draw attention to the ways in which sounds often are not perceived for the social and political functions they serve, each chapter presents a culturally resonant sound-including a whistle, an echo, a gasp, and silence-to show how sounds enable critical social and political concepts such as dialogue, privacy, memory, social order, and art-making.Sounds: The Ambient Humanitiessignificantly engages, provokes, and contributes to the dynamic field and inquiry of sound studies.
