- A 85,000-word monograph on the historical relationship between aural aesthetics, popular concepts of sound and scenography, ‘Sound Effect’ represents nine years of research into the configuration of auditory experience. Drawing on primary archival sources (hitherto unpublished working scripts, analytical auditions of sound recordings) and a diverse range of artistic and popular cultural products where sound effects are used as an index of inherited cultural knowing, it approaches auditory scenography through an acoustemological argument: that the audible world has historically been shaped by the dramaturgy of sound and the fictional ontology of drama and its changing auditoriums.
