The Acoustic City Summary

The Acoustic City by Matthew Gandy

Auf welche Weise formt Klang das Leben in der Stadt? Und was verrat uns die stadtische Gerauschkulisse uber die Erfahrung der Moderne? Die Essays dieses Bandes umkreisen einen allgegenwartigen und doch zu Unrecht wenig beachteten Aspekt von Stadt: sie thematisieren etwa Unterschiede im Klang der Stadte, akustische Streifzuge und das Horchen auf den urbanen Sound, Zusammenhange zwischen Ort, Musik und Klang oder die akustische Okologie von Architektur, Landschaft und Stadtplanung. Begleitet von einer exklusiv fur das Buch zusammengestellten CD, richtet sich The Acoustic City ebenso an Vertreter aus Architektur, Kulturwissenschaften, Geografie, Musikwissenschaft und Stadtsoziologie wie an alle Stadtbewohner, die ein offenes Ohr fur ihre Umgebung haben.
