Re-Making Sound is splendid. Porcello and Patch advance sound studies in unique and compelling fashion and a whole generation of future scholars of the audible will be in their debt. -- Mark Smith, Carolina Distinguished Professor of History at the University of South Carolina, author of A Sensory History Manifesto (2021) Porcello and Patch have crafted a thoughtful, wide-ranging, and ear-opening introduction to the broad and expansive field of sound studies. Re-making Sound creates a jumping-off point for students, teachers, and other readers interested in exploring the links between sound and society. -- David Novak, Associate Professor of Music, UC Santa Barbara, author of Japanoise: Music at the Edge of Circulation (2013) Re-Making Sound is a wonderful and innovative book, offering an immensely valuable and unique introduction to sound studies.
