Förlagets beskrivning
In this book, Barbara Ellison and Thomas B. W. Bailey lay out and explore the mystifying and evanescent musical territory of 'sonic phantoms': auditory illusions within the musical material that convey a 'phantasmatic' presence. Structured around a large body of compositional work developed by Ellison over the past decade, sonic phantoms are revealed and illustrated as they arise through a diverse array of musical sources, materials, techniques, and compositional tools: voices (real and synthetic), field recordings, instrument manipulation, object amplification, improvisation, and recording studio techniques. Their larger musical context is also outlined, as sonic phantoms are indeed present in a considerable number of disparate musical traditions (Western and non-Western), techno- historical moments (from ancient/archaic to electronic/computer-age techniques), cultural frameworks (from 'serious' to 'popular'), and fields of interest/expertise (from the psychological to the musical). Somehow inherent in all music--and perhaps in all sound--sonic phantoms lurk and stalk with the promise of mystery and elevation. We just need to conjure them
