Description
The Body in Sound, Music and Performance brings together cutting-edge contributions from women working on and researching contemporary sound practice.
This highly interdisciplinary book features a host of international contributors and places emphasis on developments beyond the western world, including movements growing across Latin America. Within the book, the body is situated as both the site and centre for knowledge making and creative production. Chapters explore how insightful theoretical analysis, new methods, innovative practises, and sometimes within the socio-cultural conditions of racism, sexism and classicism, the body can rise above, reshape and deconstruct understood ideas about performance practices, composition, and listening/sensing.
This book will be of interest to both practitioners and researchers in the fields of sonic arts, sound design, music, acoustics and performance.

Reviews / Votes
"Through eliciting and compiling new writings from a formidable list of women with broad and diverse sound practices and expertise, O Keeffe and Nogueira have produced an intriguing volume. This book contains a wealth of information and thoughtful analysis in it's varied chapters, including a fascinating piece that offers a fresh perspective on the world of foley artists by positing them as actual actors or performers. The Body in Sound, Music and Performance offers a generous sampling of voices exploring essential connections between sound and the body."Pamela Z, composer and performer
"The Body in Sound, Music and Performance is an important and progressive collection of essays on contemporary sonic art thought and practice featuring contributions from many distinguished theorists and practitioners. It is an impressive contribution in particular to understanding diverse perspectives on embodiment in contemporary sound art, music, and performance practices."
Dr Liz Dobson, University of Huddersfield, Yorkshire Sound Women Network C.I.C.
"[This] is the first edited book of its kind that makes a relevant contribution to contemporary sound practice with a strongly informed feminist lens. This is a turning point book with carefully curated accounts from a multiplicity of rich, vivid, and personal voices of expert women practitioners and researchers...I truly recommend this book to anyone interested in discovering new and refreshing ideas that can contribute towards creating more egalitarian, diverse and inclusive spaces within sonic art practices and sound studies."
Anna Xambo Sedo, Senior Lecturer in Music and Audio Technology, De Montfort University
