Sound Art in Geometer
Geometer Magazine has published an essay by James Wyness: Sound Art – the Politics of Representation, Truth and Listening. Wyness provides a good overview of the many art practices that fall under the Sound Art rubric with special attention given to Environmental Sound Art. A nice read–let’s hope Geometer and Wyness add links to sound files soon.
Note: sound files are here.

Max Neuhaus: Sound Art Pioneer
about 1 year ago - Comments Off
Just heard through the webvine that sound artist Max Neuhaus has died. Neuhaus was a pioneer of sound installation work and will definitely be missed. I remember being pleased to hear that his quasi-official Times Square installation had finally been granted permanent status.

Tellus on UBUweb

Selected volumes of the sound-art cassette series Tellus are now available on UBUweb. About 10 years ago I helped transfer some of the Tellus master tapes onto CDs for the Harvestworks archive. There are some true gems in the Tellus series. It’s great to have them more widely available. Related Posts These Days (0) Soundwalkers:

Hi,
Thanks for the link – much appreciated. I just wanted to drop a line on here to say that the sound files were linked to at the bottom of the article – but perhaps not very clearly (you’re not the first to comment). I’ve amended the article to make the link clearer now.
