Synopsis
This book of short essays, each accompanied by a track on the enclosed CD, introduces the universal qualities of soundmaking and listening. Wide-ranging and accessible, themes include biology, personal reflection, deep ecology musings and social context; Dunn's sudden kernals of sythesis and insight show how sound offers connection with nature, and ourselves, in profoundly direct ways.

About the Author
David Dunn has a long history in the worlds of soundscapes, contemporary composition, and leading edge thinking. He first became known in the early 1970's for his place-based compositions, written to be performed in specific outdoor (often wilderness) locations, and designed to be frameworks for interaction between musicians and the environment. From there, he moved on to the International Synergy Institute, where he was editor of the IS Journal for several years, forging connections between scientists and artists from a wide range of media. Since moving to Santa Fe, David has continued to record the wild, design museum sound installations, teach, and write (most recently, a biography of Harry Partch). While he has a huge list of previous writings and sound installations, this is his first work for a popular audience.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good+. No Jacket. First Edition. This book is straight and tight, clean and bright with practically no edge wear. It has an old, very small, price sticker on front bottom corner and previous owner's stamp on front free endpaper preventing fine. This book is full of revelations about soundscapes. Each recorded segment is full of vitality, but it is David's commentary which transforms it from a purely aural pleasure into something multi-dimensional, encouraging us to reintegrate ourselves into the "complex chain of connection" in a profoundly direct way. An amazing book and CD! Proceeds from the sale of this book benefit environmental restoration and education. Seller Inventory # 005871
