Theory of music & musicology; Non-Western music: traditional & "classical"

From the mid-20th century to present, the Brazilian art, literature,

and music scene have been witness to a wealth of creative approaches involving

sound. This is the backdrop for Making It Heard: A History of Brazilian Sound Art, a volume that offers an

overview of local artists working with performance, experimental vinyl

production, sound installation, sculpture, mail art, field recording, and

sound mapping. It criticizes universal approaches to art and music

historiography that fail to recognize local idiosyncrasies, and creates a

local rationale and discourse. Through this approach, Chaves and Iazzetta

enable students, researchers, and artists to discover and acknowledge work

produced outside of a standard Anglo-European framework.

Reviews for Making It Heard: A History of Brazilian Sound Art

Making it Heard is the result of an astounding collaboration of Brazilian sound artists and researchers that undertook a profound analysis and study of historical and contemporary practices of sound art. This volume conveys new ideas for listening and reveals new aesthetic forms due to the geopolitical and social context of Brazil's rich crossbreeding culture. * Manuel Rocha Iturbide, Composer and Sound Artist, Universidad Autonoma Metropolitana, Mexico * I am very glad that a book like this is finally available! Thanks to Rui Chaves, Fernando Iazzetta, and all others involved, we now have a very comprehensive guide to the Brazilian sound art of this century. Dealing with a dense and assorted body of contemporary works, the essays in this book shed light on paradigmatic works and artists and discuss a significant variety of issues tackled by them. I am sure that, through this book, English-speaking readers will have a great opportunity to be introduced to an indispensable part of Brazil's artistic production. * Rodolfo Caesar, Composer and Writer, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil *
