Description

The book proposes a global overview, one of the first of its kind, since its ambition is to systematically delimit the emergence of sound. Both well-known and lesser-known works and composers are analysed in detail; from Debussy to contemporary music in the early twenty-first century; from rock to electronica; from the sound objects of the earliest musique concrete to current electroacoustic music; from the Poeme electronique of Le Corbusier-Varese-Xenakis to the most recent inter-arts attempts.
Covering theory, analysis and aesthetics, From Music to Sound will be of great interest to scholars, professionals and students of Music, Musicology, Sound Studies and Sonic Arts.
Supporting musical examples can be accessed via the online Routledge Music Research Portal.
Reviews / Votes
'...compelling...a significant contribution to...both Musicology and Sound Studies...the ultimate value of Solomos' work is that it provides a centralized location for the ideas of the theorist-practitioners who aimed to reframe their labor as sound creation.' Kevin John Bozelka, Sound Studies, Volume 7, Issue 1 (2021)'Without agreeing with everything [...] I really appreciate Makis Solomos' thesis-based music history of the long 20th century, because it provides both an overview of compositional directions and detailed analyses, it organizes both theoretical and aesthetic debates [...] and it develops both a thesis and its implications.' Julia H Schroeder, Journal of the German Musicological Society, Volume 73, Issue 4, (January 2020)

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
