Sonic Time Machines aims to correct that, presenting a striking new approach to theorising sound that investigates its split existence: as a temporal effect in a techno-cultural context and as a source of knowledge and information. Ernst creates a new term for the concept at the heart of the book, "sonicity," a flexible and powerful term that allows him to consider sound with all its many physical, philosophical, and cultural valences UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9789048528479?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9789048528479 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/cover/covers/9789048528479.jpg ER -
