Practices such as aural architecture, soundscaping, spatial music and sonic sculpture now find a non-specialist public and an institutional legitimacy that fosters future development. Moreover, theoretical research tracing sonic phenomena as cartography, site-specific signifier, or spatial strategy has acquired a new maturity in recent years. Interference wishes to progress this interaction between theoretical reflection from different domains of research and sustained practical experimentation as it generates new possibilities for auditory spatial awareness.]]> http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/editorial-issue-2/feed 0 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/the-sound-of-ruins?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-sound-of-ruins http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/the-sound-of-ruins#comments Wed, 23 May 2012 07:17:13 +0000 interference http://www.interferencejournal.com/?p=718 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/the-sound-of-ruins/feed 0 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/any-place-whatever?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=any-place-whatever http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/any-place-whatever#comments Tue, 22 May 2012 07:16:42 +0000 interference http://www.interferencejournal.com/?p=716 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/any-place-whatever/feed 0 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/understanding-underwater?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=understanding-underwater http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/understanding-underwater#comments Mon, 21 May 2012 07:17:43 +0000 interference http://www.interferencejournal.com/?p=722 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/understanding-underwater/feed 0 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/sonic-geographies-of-shifting-bodies?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sonic-geographies-of-shifting-bodies http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/sonic-geographies-of-shifting-bodies#comments Sun, 20 May 2012 14:04:20 +0000 sven.anderson http://www.interferencejournal.com/?p=1025 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/sonic-geographies-of-shifting-bodies/feed 0 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/the-sound-labyrinth-project?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-sound-labyrinth-project http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/the-sound-labyrinth-project#comments Wed, 09 May 2012 07:17:29 +0000 interference http://www.interferencejournal.com/?p=720 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/a-sonic-geography/the-sound-labyrinth-project/feed 0 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/an-ear-alone-is-not-a-being/editorial-issue-1?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=editorial-issue-1 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/an-ear-alone-is-not-a-being/editorial-issue-1#comments Sat, 30 Jul 2011 14:06:26 +0000 interference http://174.120.246.226/~interfer/?p=296 The title of the inaugural issue of Interference - “An Ear Alone is Not a Being” : Embodied Mediation in Audio Culture - acknowledges acoustic practices that involve not just the ear but a corporeal body that senses, resonates, transduces and responds to sound, and furthermore, seeks to emphasize the legacy of this embodied listening subject in the practices, media, and conceptual frameworks that make up audio cultures. ‘Embodied mediation’ presumes a reciprocal process: the texts in this issue explore not only how listening experiences and acoustic practices are shaped by corporeality, but also attend to the many ways in which those processes work upon that body, through psychophysical affect and the representation and encoding of listening subjects in acoustic performances, technologies and cultural artefacts. ]]> http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/an-ear-alone-is-not-a-being/editorial-issue-1/feed 0 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/an-ear-alone-is-not-a-being/to-hear-the-silence-of-sound?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=to-hear-the-silence-of-sound http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/an-ear-alone-is-not-a-being/to-hear-the-silence-of-sound#comments Fri, 29 Jul 2011 16:57:48 +0000 interference http://174.120.246.226/~interfer/?p=181 Invisible Man enacts listening as a corporeally distributed process, one that is not isolated in the ear, but is instead dispersed throughout the body. This essay also engages the ways in which Ellison reflects on the impact of sound technology on constructions of race. While the novel dramatizes invisibility as its key metaphor for racial dislocation, Invisible Man amplifies listening as a fully embodied experience, one that allows the Invisible Man space in which to reconstitute his being. For instance, about his underground home in Harlem, Invisible Man says, “There is a certain acoustical deadness in my hole, and when I have music I want to feel its vibration, not only with my ear but with my whole body”. He owns one phonograph on which he plays Louis Armstrong’s “(What Did I Do To Be So) Black and Blue?,” but he longs to own five phonographs so that he can envelope himself with the song’s sound. Invisible Man longs for Armstrong’s music to touch him, for audition that is felt as well as heard. In this sonic feeling, Invisible Man finds a space in which to potentially sense a newly materialized racial identity.]]> http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/an-ear-alone-is-not-a-being/to-hear-the-silence-of-sound/feed 0 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/an-ear-alone-is-not-a-being/sounds-like-superman?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sounds-like-superman http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/an-ear-alone-is-not-a-being/sounds-like-superman#comments Thu, 28 Jul 2011 18:43:24 +0000 interference http://174.120.246.226/~interfer/?p=221 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/an-ear-alone-is-not-a-being/sounds-like-superman/feed 0 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/an-ear-alone-is-not-a-being/musical-performance-and-the-death-drive?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=musical-performance-and-the-death-drive http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/an-ear-alone-is-not-a-being/musical-performance-and-the-death-drive#comments Mon, 25 Jul 2011 18:18:22 +0000 interference http://174.120.246.226/~interfer/?p=214 http://www.interferencejournal.com/articles/an-ear-alone-is-not-a-being/musical-performance-and-the-death-drive/feed 0
