The result of academic conferences and workshops, this book is on ambient sound bridges installation art, academic theory, and ethnomusicology. It includes scholarly papers and artists’
statements, and a DVD of examples of immersive soundscapes. The book is divided into four sections: history, environments, relationships, and possibilities. Contributors look occasionally at
urban ambient sound (the soundscape of Venice), sometimes at sound representations of environmental phenomena, but most often at public or gallery art projects using created sound installations
which are not music. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
