Re-Making Sound Summary

Re-Making Sound: An Experiential Approach to Sound Studies by Professor Justin Patch

Re-Making Sound is concise and flexible primer to sound studies. It takes students through six ways of conceptualizing sound and its links to other social phenomena: soundscapes; noise; sound and semiotics of the voice; sound and/through/in text; background sound/sound design; and sound art. Each chapter summarizes the history and scholarly theoretical underpinnings of these areas and concludes with a student activity that concretizes the historical and theoretical discussion via sound-making projects. With chapters designed to be flexible and non-sequential, the text fits within various course designs, and includes an introduction to key concepts in sound and sound studies, a cumulative concluding chapter with sound accompanying podcast exercise, and an extensive bibliography for students to pursue sound studies beyond the book itself.

Re-Making Sound Reviews

Re-Making Sound is splendid. Porcello and Patch advance sound studies in unique and compelling fashion and a whole generation of future scholars of the audible will be in their debt. -- Mark Smith, Carolina Distinguished Professor of History at the University of South Carolina, author of A Sensory History Manifesto (2021)
Porcello and Patch have crafted a thoughtful, wide-ranging, and ear-opening introduction to the broad and expansive field of sound studies. Re-making Sound creates a jumping-off point for students, teachers, and other readers interested in exploring the links between sound and society. -- David Novak, Associate Professor of Music, UC Santa Barbara, author of Japanoise: Music at the Edge of Circulation (2013)
Re-Making Sound is a wonderful and innovative book, offering an immensely valuable and unique introduction to sound studies. By supporting their exposition with a focus on sensory experience and a set of classroom exercises geared towards making and listening, Thomas Porcello and Justin Patchs original and timely contribution will make rewarding reading for sound focused scholars and students alike. -- Daniel Fisher, Associate Professor of Anthropology, UC Berkeley, USA, author of The Voice and Its Doubles: Music and Media in Northern Australia (2016)
