What does a place sound like – and how does the sound of place affect our perceptions, experiences, and memories? The Sound of a Room takes a poetic and philosophical approach to exploring these questions, providing a thoughtful investigation of the sonic aesthetics of our lived environments. Moving through a series of location-based case studies, the author uses his own field recordings as the jumping-off point to consider the underlying questions of how sonic environments interact with our ideas of self, sense of creativity, and memories. Advocating an awareness born of deep listening, this book offers practical and poetic insights for researchers, practitioners, and students of sound.

Reviews for The Sound of a Room: Memory and the Auditory Presence of Place

Sean Street opens our ears.... [to] the sounds that exist inside us, both physically and psychologically.... [to] consider the sound of the rooms in our own minds, poems, novels, works of art.... Sean Street gently conducts us on. -Hilary Davies, The Times Literary Supplement
