- Stop Making Sense develops its argument across a broad range of cultural examples. The monograph introduces a new concept for sound studies (amusia) and elaborates it in relation to similar ideas and examples from literature, film, philosophy, neuroscience and above all psychoanalysis. Three major sound artists are discussed at length: Brian Eno, Yoko Ono, and Merzbow, whose work operates at the ‘a-musical’ limits of musical tolerance. The extent of the research reflected the amount of work involved in tackling this broad range of disciplines as well as the three sound artists involved.
