A preliminary programme and definite dates (all 4.30–6pm) for this term's London Sound Seminar meetings: Steve suggested a noise theme, so attempting a kind of temporal trajectory picking up attending to noisiness in literature, architecture and music: - 1 Feb [Rm 113, 43 Gordon Square]. Extracts from Ch.s 1&2 of John Picker's, Victorian Soundscapes - 15 Feb [Rm 113, 43 Gordon Square]. Probably Thompson, 'Noise and Modern Culture', in The Soundscape of Modernity - 29 Feb [Rm 114 – Keynes Library, 43 Gordon Square]. Talk by Hillel Schwarz (author of recent book Making Noise) - 14 Mar [Rm 113, 43 Gordon Square]. Kittler. Extracts from Gramophone and forthcoming ch. 'The God of Ears' (on Pink Floyd's 'Brain Damage') Hillel has asked if we'd prefer a talk on 'the noise of almost nothing' or 'Embouchure and sound studies'. I've tentatively indicated the former, ping me an email if you agree/disagree. I'll confirm with him over the wknd. I'll confirm selections for the first session also over the wknd. Lisa/Holly: can you let me know which bits from Gramophone (assuming you want to do both together)?
