Sound at the Edge of Perception : The Aural Minutiae of Sand and other Worldly Murmurings Paperback / softback
by Sean Street
Part of the Palgrave Studies in Sound series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book is about the tiny sounds of the world, and listening to them, the minute signals that are clues to who and where we are.
A very small sound, given the context of its history, becomes hugely significant, and even an imagined sound in a picture becomes almost a voice.
By speaking a name, we give a person back to the world, and a breath, a sigh, a laugh or a cry need no language.
A phoneme is the start of all stories, and were we able to tune ourselves to the subtleties of the natural world, we might share the super-sensitivity of members of the bird and animal kingdom to sense the message in the apparent silence.
Mind hears sound when it perceives an image; the book will appeal to sonic and radio practitioners, students of sound, those working in the visual arts, and creative writers.
