Sounds of the Pandemic
Sounds of the Pandemic offers one of the first critical analyses of the changes in sonic environments, artistic practice, and listening behaviour caused by the Coronavirus outbreak. This multifaceted collection provides a detailed picture of a wide array of phenomena related to sound and music, including soundscapes, music production, music performance, and mediatisation processes in the context of COVID-19. It represents a first step to understanding how the pandemic and its by-products affected sound domains in terms of experiences and practices, representations, collective imaginaries, and socio-political manipulations. This book is essential reading for students, researchers, and practitioners working in the realms of music production and performance, musicology and ethnomusicology, sound studies, and media and cultural studies.

The Oxford Handbook of Community Singing
"The Oxford Handbook of Community Singing shows in abundant detail that singing with others is thriving. Using an array of interdisciplinary methods, chapter authors prioritize participation rather than performance and provide finely grained accounts of group singing in community, music therapy, religious, and music education settings. Themes associated with protest, incarceration, nation, hymnody, group bonding, identity, and inclusivity infuse the 47 chapters. Written almost wholly during the 2020-21 COVID-19 pandemic, the Handbook features a section dedicated to collective singing facilitated by audiovisual or communications media (mediated singing), some of it quarantine-mandated. The last of eight substantial sections is a repository of new theories about how group singing practices work. Throughout, the authors problematize the limitations inherited from the western European choral music tradition and report on workable new remedies to counter those constraints"--
Parola, spazio, suono
Un approfondimento sull’affascinante repertorio teatrale di Adriano Guarnieri, una delle massime figure della musica contemporanea, costituito da una dozzina di lavori che rappresentano una delle più seducenti ipotesi di rinnovamento e attualizzazione dell’opera lirica. Un teatro onirico e visionario, simbolico e insieme evocativo in cui l’assenza di una vera e propria vicenda non impedisce al compositore di esercitare una forte suggestione emotiva sullo spettatore grazie all’intensità magmatica dei colori strumentali e alla dirompente energia espressiva delle voci, oltre che all’uso esteso delle tecnologie di spazializzazione del suono e degli apparati video. L’analisi si focalizza su tre nuclei tematici – parola, spazio e suono –, stimolando una continua riflessione sui rapporti di questa musica con le altre arti

Exploring the Ecologies of Music and Sound
Makis Solomos explores the ecologies of music and sound, inspired by Felix Guattari, for whom environmental destruction caused by capitalism goes hand in hand with deteriorating ways of living and feeling, and for whom an ecosophical stance, combining various ecological registers, offers a glimpse of emancipation, a position strengthened today by intersectional approaches. Solomos explores environmental, mental and social ecologies through the lens of the history of music and current artivisms – especially in the fields of acoustic ecology, contemporary music and sound art. Several theoretical and analytical debates are put forward, including a theory of sound milieus and the biopolitics of sound; the relationships between music and the living world; soundscape compositions, field recording, ecomusicology, and the creation of sound biotopes; the use of sound and music to violent ends as well as considering the social and political functions of music and the autonomy of art, sonic ecofeminism, degrowth in music, and much more.
