Beskrivning

This book is about the tiny sounds of the world, and listening to them, the minute signals that are clues to who and where we are. A very small sound, given the context of its history, becomes hugely significant, and even an imagined sound in a picture becomes almost a voice.

Recensioner i media

“Sound at the Edge of Perception explores the ‘interrelationships between hearing and listening, looking and seeing,’ with the hope that ‘by awakening the faculty of seeing, we may enhance our ability to listen—and vice versa.’” (Ben Monks, Dymock Poets and Friends, Issue 18, 2019)
