Texte du rabat
"This wide-ranging book reveals Lawrence Kramer's command of poetry, novels, music, philosophy, history, and other topics too numerous to list. Refreshingly free of jargon, Experiencing Sound should be required reading for anyone who cares about how we understand ourselves and navigate the world through sound."—Michael L. Klein, author of Music and the Crises of the Modern Subject

"Kramer ventures far off the beaten paths of sound studies. With inspiring intellectual ease, he strolls with his reader across the whole of Western cultural history, inviting us to hear music, literature, and philosophy in entirely new ways. This is the work of a master essayist."—Axel Englund, author of Deviant Opera: Sex, Power, and Perversion on Stage
