Description

Environmental Sound Artists: In Their Own Words is an incisive and imaginative look at the international environmental sound art movement, which emerged in the late 1960s.

The term environmental sound art is generally applied to the work of sound artists who incorporate processes in which the artist actively engages with the environment.

While the field of environmental sound art is diverse and includes a variety of approaches, the art form diverges from traditional contemporary music by the conscious and strategic integration of environmental impulses and natural processes.

This book presents a current perspective on the environmental sound art movement through a collection of personal writings by important environmental sound artists.

Dismayed by the limitations and gradual breakdown of contemporary compositional strategies, environmental sound artists have sought alternate venues, genres, technologies, and delivery methods for their creative expression.

Environmental sound art is especially relevant because it addresses political, social, economic, scientific, and aesthetic issues.

As a result, it has attracted the participation of artists internationally.

Awareness and concern for the environment has connected and unified artists across the globe and has achieved a solidarity and clarity of purpose that is singularly unique and optimistic.

The environmental sound art movement is borderless and thriving.
