Sonic Pleasure, Absence And The History Of The Self: An Alternative Approach To The Criticism Of Sound Art, Jonathan W. Marshall Jan 2011

Sonic Pleasure, Absence And The History Of The Self: An Alternative Approach To The Criticism Of Sound Art, Jonathan W. Marshall

Sound Scripts

Historical, psychoanalytic and cinema criticism have characterised the history of Western modernity and the individual subject as founded upon an affective lack. Pleasure is solicited by the promise of fullness, but this is never fulfilled, fuelling further desire. Sound art however is more typically theorised as inherently present and immersive, as a form that offers direct experience, which literally touches the subject. I draw upon the work of Jonathan Sterne, Steven Connor, psychoanalysis and film criticism to rearticulate not just modernist media and subjectivity as characterised by lack and absence, but the perception of aestheticised sound. Starting with an analysis …


Master And Slave In The Music Of Coil, Drren Jorgensen Jan 2011

Master And Slave In The Music Of Coil, Drren Jorgensen

Sound Scripts

For Theodor Adorno, pop music perpetuates thedrudgery and alienation of working class existenceby providing a distraction from it. This paper turns toa similar critique of pop music, in the work of Coil.Born out of the UK industrial scene, Coil distort thepop song format, reproducing and appropriating itssounds with cynical manipulations. This cynicismshines through a mastery over the forms of popmusic and its sounds, that Coil configure withoutveering into pop's more explicit commercialism. Byestranging the familiarity of pop music, Coil point tohow listeners are enslaved by the industrial mode ofmusical alienation, by reproducing this alienation in anew way.

The Marvellous Surrealism Of Nurse With Wound And The Sylvie And Babs Hi-Fi Companion, Darren Jorgensen Jan 2009

The Marvellous Surrealism Of Nurse With Wound And The Sylvie And Babs Hi-Fi Companion, Darren Jorgensen

Sound Scripts

Composer’s Notes. My piece does not tell a story, but contains numerous possible stories. This also means that time may be standing still for one story, but race past for the other. In any case, time remains in an indissolvable dependence from the point of view of the individual listener. (The closer our gaze comes to the anthill, the more likely it is that we are able to trace the story of an individual insect.) All stories are reflections of our interests. To tell a certain story will always also emphasize the storyteller’s point of view. Only through manifold interpretation …

Freezing The Music And Fetishising The Subject: The Audiovisual Dramaturgy Of Michel Van Der Aa, Jonathan W. Marshall Jan 2009

Freezing The Music And Fetishising The Subject: The Audiovisual Dramaturgy Of Michel Van Der Aa, Jonathan W. Marshall

Sound Scripts

When, with our eyes shut we run our hands along a surface, the rubbing of our fingers against the surface, and especially the varied play of our joints, provide a series of sensations, which differ only by their qualities and which exhibit a certain order in time. In this paper, I will explore the sonic relationship of sound to the development of new imaging technologies through Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM). In 2003, UCLA scientist, James Gimzewski, positioned a sensitive instrument called an atomic force microscope over a cell to try to detect its motion and the microscope picked up regular …

Flatness, Ornamentality And The Sonic Image: Puncturing Flânerie And Postcolonial Memorialisation In The Work Of David Chesworth And Sonia Leber, Jonathan W. Marshall

Sound Scripts

Much of the power of the cinema experience lies with the sound track, and the way it interacts with what happens on the screen. Soundtrack composition has become a complex art, where musical ideas are enhanced by sound reproduction technologies and complicated by sound effects demanded by the action. The effects of certain ranges of low frequency sound which are featured in the creation and presentation of both film music composition and cinematic sound effects can add an unique dimension to the experience of the soundtrack, and indeed the total cinematic experience. This paper discusses very low frequency sound features …
