Sounding Emerging Media

Sounding Emerging Media is a book that explores a practice-based approach to sonic art and electroacoustic composition, drawing on methodologies inspired by electronic literature, game development, and structural concepts from Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. It involves creating original texts, developing frameworks for improvisation, using recordings, and implementing techniques from electroacoustic composition and electronic literature. The results shape a compositional style that combines these processes, often seen in game development, visual scores, and electroacoustic music. The book aims to unite composer/users/listeners as part of a collective artistry and is a valuable guide for students and practitioners in the field.

Sounding Emerging Media is a groundbreaking approach to sonic art and electroacoustic composition that draws inspiration from the production of electronic literature and game development. The book employs a practice-based methodology, incorporating structural concepts from Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, such as assemblage, strata, smooth and striated space, temporal space, and the fold. Through the creation of original texts, the development of frameworks for improvisation, the utilization of recordings, and the implementation of techniques from electroacoustic composition, the book explores the boundaries of sound and music. The results of this research have shaped a compositional style that blends individual processes and collective artistry, drawing on practices commonly found in game development, visual scores, and electroacoustic music.

Sounding Emerging Media envisions a world where composers, users, and listeners become integral parts of a collective artistic continuum. This book serves as an invaluable guide to the history and creation of audio for innovative digital media formats, catering to students and practitioners alike, from aspiring composers to experienced professionals. By delving into the practices of sonic art and electroacoustic composition, Sounding Emerging Media offers a profound exploration of the potential of digital media in shaping artistic expression.
