Sound and the Visual Arts
Musician and musicologist Jean-Yves Bosseur explores the growing relationship between the plastic arts and music in the world of contemporary art. This trend is shown in its aesthetic and historical context through interviews with Iannis Xenakis, Francis Miroglio, Takis, John Cage, Milan Knizak, Wolf Vostell, Max Neuhas, Nam June Paik and Stan Douglas.
Jean-Yves Bosseur ça de mémoire
" Un être aussi fin que passionné, aussi inquiet et habité d'interrogations multiples et fondamentales, que disposé à s'engager, fût-ce provisoirement et à titre expérimental, dans un foule de démarches prospectives, tout aussi préoccupé de réflexion esthétique [...] que de productions autant que possible à contre-courant des opinions et des diktats dominants. " (Henri Pousseur).

Thematics

Fluxus Experience
Hannah Higgins explores the influential art movement Fluxus. Daring, disparate and contentious, Fluxus artists worked with minimal and prosaic materials now familiar in post-World War II art. Higgins describes the experience of Fluxus for viewers as affirming transactions between the self and the world.
New Perspectives on Marc-Antoine Charpentier
The tercentenary of Marc-Antoine Charpentier's death in 2004 stimulated a surge of activity on the part of performers and scholars, confirming the modern assessment of Charpentier (1643-1704) as one of the most important and inventive composers of the French Baroque. The present book provides a snapshot of Charpentier scholarship in the early years of the new century. Its 13 chapters illustrate not only the sheer variety of strands currently pursued, but also the way in which these strands frequently intertwine and generate the potential for future research. Between them, they examine facets of the composer's compositional language and process, aspects of his performance practice and notatio...

Noise, Water, Meat
An examination of the role of sound in twentieth-century arts. This interdisciplinary history and theory of sound in the arts reads the twentieth century by listening to it—to the emphatic and exceptional sounds of modernism and those on the cusp of postmodernism, recorded sound, noise, silence, the fluid sounds of immersion and dripping, and the meat voices of viruses, screams, and bestial cries. Focusing on Europe in the first half of the century and the United States in the postwar years, Douglas Kahn explores aural activities in literature, music, visual arts, theater, and film. Placing aurality at the center of the history of the arts, he revisits key artistic questions, listening to the sounds that drown out the politics and poetics that generated them. Artists discussed include Antonin Artaud, George Brecht, William Burroughs, John Cage, Sergei Eisenstein, Fluxus, Allan Kaprow, Michael McClure, Yoko Ono, Jackson Pollock, Luigi Russolo, and Dziga Vertov.
