| Abstract | Seeking to account for the new conditions of production and distribution that appeared at the end of the 20th century, this book provides an analysis of electronic music through its history, social context, and otherness. Also on offer is a consideration of the relationship between electronic music and visual art over the past 10 years, an inventory of terms, and a range of interdisciplinary essays. The word "sonic," which appears in the title, covers both research carried out in a purely sound-based realm and in the field of musical experimentation. Indeed, the decision to look at both "sound" and "music" was essential to the authors' attempts to define the creative flux between these two worlds. |
