Is a sound an object, an experience, an event, or a relation? What exactly does the emerging discipline of sound studies study? Sound Objects pursues these questions while exploring how history, culture, and mediation entwine with sound’s elusive objectivity. Examining the genealogy and evolution of the concept of the sound object, the commodification of sound, acousmatic listening, nonhuman sounds, and sound and memory, the contributors not only probe conceptual issues that lie in the forefront of contemporary sonic discussions but also underscore auditory experience as fundamental to sound as a critical enterprise. In so doing, they offer exciting considerations of sound within and beyond its role in meaning, communication, and information and an illuminatingly original theoretical overview of the field of sound studies itself. Contributors. Georgina Born, Michael Bull, Michel Chion, Rey Chow, John Dack, Veit Erlmann, Brian Kane, Jairo Moreno, John Mowitt, Pooja Rangan, Gavin Steingo, James A.

"The Treatise on musical objects by Pierre Schaeffer is regarded as his most important work on music and its relationship with technology. Schaeffer refers to his earlier research in musique concráete and expands this to suggest a methodology of working with sounds resulting from the recording process. Drawing on acoustics, physics, and physiology, but also philosophy and the relationship between subject and object, Schaeffer's book summarizes his theoretical and practical work in music composition. North and Dack present an important book in the history of ideas in Europe that will resonate far beyond electroacoustic music."--Provided by publisher.

Sound coming from outside the field of vision, from somewhere beyond, holds a privileged place in the Western imagination. When separated from their source, sounds seem to manifest transcendent realms, divine powers, or supernatural forces. According to legend, the philosopher Pythagoras lectured to his disciples from behind a veil, and two thousand years later, in the age of absolute music, listeners were similarly fascinated with disembodied sounds, employing various techniques to isolate sounds from their sources. With recording and radio came spatial and temporal separation of sounds from sources, and new ways of composing music. Sound Unseen: Acousmatic Sound in Theory and Practice explores the phenomenon of acousmatic sound. An unusual and neglected word, "acousmatic" was first introduced into modern parlance in the mid-1960s by avant garde composer of musique concrète Pierre Schaeffer to describe the experience of hearing a sound without seeing its cause. Working through, and often against, Schaeffer's ideas, Brian Kane presents a powerful argument for the central yet overlooked role of acousmatic sound in music aesthetics, sound studies, literature, philosophy and the history of the senses. Kane investigates acousmatic sound from a number of methodological perspectives -- historical, cultural, philosophical and musical -- and provides a framework that makes sense of the many surprising and paradoxical ways that unseen sound has been understood. Finely detailed and thoroughly researched, Sound Unseen pursues unseen sounds through a stunning array of cases -- from Bayreuth to Kafka's "Burrow," Apollinaire to %Zi%zek, music and metaphysics to architecture and automata, and from Pythagoras to the present-to offer the definitive account of acousmatic sound in theory and practice. The first major study in English of Pierre Schaeffer's theory of "acousmatics," Sound Unseen is an essential text for scholars of philosophy of music, electronic music, sound studies, and the history of the senses.

This book fills a gap in early developmental psychology by providing a critical reconsideration of the status of artifact objects as protagonists of children's actions and communication. The main thesis explored in the book is that objects are part of the material culture; they have public functions and social meanings that are transmitted by the members of the community. Their meanings are not "naturally" given, and children are not born knowing what to do with objects. All chapters analyze and illustrate communication with parents, or with teachers and peers in the early-years school. The book also explores the status of action and uses of materiality in communicative situations with children on the autism spectrum. The book shows objects coming alive in action and in communication, shaping the social foundations and early development of the human psyche. The book is intended for use by scholars and researchers in developmental psychology, teachers in early childhood education (mainly 0-3 years), undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of psychology and education, and sociocultural psychologists interested in early development.

Praat scripting is like cooking… This book deals with everything about Praat. The author, however, does not know everything about it. The more you know, the more you see, as the old saying goes. I wrote it to the best of my knowledge. During the long years with Praat, I've written many scripts and given many talks and presentations. I collected them all here in this book. I'd be very happy if researchers from a variety of majors could get help. Any errors or mistakes are mine, so please let me know. This book is just a beginning. A lot of room for improvement, I admit. Since I didn't write it at one sitting, it could be more organized and focused. Let me know via my contact so that I can supplement this book. Writing about Praat and scripts, I felt that scripting is like cooking a luxury cuisine. Input files are like good ingredients, variables and objects are like containers such as dishes and plates, functions and operators are like cooking utensils, cooking is like running script commands and finished cuisine is like output files. It could be difficult and boring to beginners, but I tried to be as easy and fun as possible. It's a thick book, but reading from time to time, you could become a scripting expert in no time and feel the joy, just like finishing a delicious cuisine... I hope that what's in this book would satisfy advanced learners as well as beginners. For beginners, I tried to introduce basic techniques of making a recording and doing analyses and resynthesis, e.g. manipulating pitch and durations. For advanced learners, I tried my best to introduce the basics and advanced topics of Praat scripting with real scripts from my own papers and works and to explain how scripting can help you with your various linguistic works. Lastly, I introduce how you can extract various linguistic information from speech corpora, e.g. the Buckeye corpus and Seoul corpus, using Praat and scripting. Particularly, I open to the public the scripts I used to build the Seoul corpus, which I hope will help you understand that scripting can help you work with a speech corpus. This book is for people who know the least about computers, such as launching an installed application and handling files in their computer. Don't worry, however, you're not good at computers. I tried to be as kind as possible as if I'm dealing with beginners. Most operating systems are largely divided into Windows and Macs. I wrote this book on my MacOS machine, but I also added descriptions for Windows systems. Also, I assume that readers have the basic knowledge on phonetics, e.g. a sound file being displayed on a spectrogram as well as on a waveform display. For professional knowledge, consult books on phonetics. Nonetheless, I use some professional terms necessary for our readers to perform tasks related to phonetics and linguistics in general. The book is organized as three parts. Part A Praat Basics teaches you the basics of Praat and scripts. Part B Praat Advanced encourages you to start writing scripts based on what you learned earlier with sample and real scripts. Part C Praat for Corpus has two areas; Area 1 introduces the Buckeye corpus and Area 2 the Seoul corpus. You learn that Praat and scripts can be useful in your research with speech corpora. So much for the official stuff. Now, what I'd really liked to say to readers. Software such as Praat may be easy for engineering students or people familiar with computers. Those of you who know one or two programming languages may think Praat scripting is a piece of cake. A couple of days or weeks later, you'd write basic and advanced scripts. A couple of months, you could lead a big project like building a speech corpus. However, this book is not for those computer experts. Rather, the book is for those not familiar with computers and afraid of coding or scripting. If you think, "Is scripting worth my precious time?", "I would rather ask some Praat expert I know to do this job for me", "I give up this topic. Let's find another topic", this book is for you. I told some of my friends that I would some day write this book so that ordinary people could write a basic script. After reading this book and if you still cannot write a simple script, it means my book is not doing what it's meant for. I'd have to keep improving it until it does. I kept my end of the bargain, so it's your, readers' turn. I plan to revise this book to its 2nd version, 3rd version, and so on. As Rome was not built in a day, I'll be waiting for your feedbacks. I've used Praat and scripts for a long time, but as I said, I do not know everything about them. It's not why I wrote this book either. Rather, I wrote this book to tell you, among the huge number of wonderful features of Praat, which ones are frequently used in works related to phonetics, speech synthesis and linguistics in general. The features not frequently used and I know little about, I did not even mention them. For beginners, I think it's equally important to know even the basic features and use them well. Not all the features of Praat are equally important and are equally used frequently. I intended to introduce to readers the most frequent and necessary features of Praat so that they understand the relative importance of all the features and can use them in their daily research works. My job is to let them enter the wonderful world of Praat. Once you get in, sit tight and enjoy your ride! A single step toward a journey of a thousand miles. 2021.02.28 Kyuchul Yoon, Ph.D. Professor in Phonetics
