Arts Electric: A tribute to Maryanne Amacher (1943—2009)

Arts Electric has posted a moving tribute to Maryanne Amacher written by Micah Silver.

Here’s Soundwalkers by Raquel Castro: a wonderful film on sound, listening, acoustic ecology.

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.
