We would like to make clear that book you are holding in your hands is a map and not a history of sound art, though we had set out in search of a history. Our aim: a broad survey of contemporary sonic arts practices with focus on the role of recording technology, the relation- ship of sonic arts to traditional artistic disciplines, and the political ramifications of individual artist’s processes.
