The first edition of Sound Art Revisited, published as Sound Art: Beyond Music, Between Categories, was a groundbreaking work in defining this emerging field. This fully updated volume significantly expands the story, incorporating current research since the book's initial release. Rather than focusing on philosophical theory, the book explores sound art through the lens of music and art histories, covering dozens of artists and works that are not found in any other book on the subject. Spanning centuries, from spatialized church music to the technological advancements of radio, sound recording, and the telephone, the book traces the evolution of sound installations and sound sculpture, the rise of sound art exhibitions and galleries, and the critical cross-pollination that marks some of the most important and challenging art with and about sound being produced today.
