- Stereophonica draws together scientific, musicological, and philosophical literatures spanning over two centuries (in English, French, German). It analyses changing perspectives on sound, hearing, and space that stem from physiology, psychology, acoustics, physics, military science, music, and urban studies. It entailed over 10 years of research, including primary research in difficult-to-access corporate and military archives. Its interdisciplinary scope covers the binaural listener in the nineteenth century; acoustic defence during WWI; electroacoustic sound design for theatre; applied psychoacoustics during WWII; spatial music and sound installation art; the history of noise mapping and sound mapping; and emergent forms of sonic urbanism.
