Notes:

"From Music to Sound is an examination of the six musical histories whose convergence produces the emergence of sound, offering a plural, original history of new music. Both well-known and lesser-known works and composers are analyzed in detail, from Debussy to contemporary music in the early 1st century; from rock to electronics; from the sound objects of the earliest musique concrète to current electroacoustic music; from the Poème électronique of Le Corbusier-Varèse-Xenakis to the most recent inter-arts attempts. Covering theory, analysis and aesthetics, this book will be of great interest to scholars, professionals and students of Music, Musicology, Sound Studies and Sonic Arts"--Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-269) and index.On timbre -- On noise -- Listening (sounds) -- Immersion in sound -- Composing sound -- Sound-space.
