Sonic Surrogate
Music, Technology, and the Crisis of Reproduction

Interrogating the recent proliferation of audio apps, smart speakers, sleep aids, and prenatal sound systems that promise a better life through sound, this book explores how these technologies came to be promoted as a cheap solution for capitalism’s inevitable crisis of reproduction. Marie Thompson shows how—at a time when, for many, accessing and providing care are increasingly under pressure—sound and music are sold as tools to support caregiving, child rearing, domestic management, and pregnancy. Connecting this phenomenon to shifting gendered, racial, and global divisions of labor, the making of the modern family, the changing political economy of music, and evolving discourses of automation, The Sonic Surrogate sheds light on the many reproductions implicated in sound reproduction.

Sound, Music, Affect features brand new essays that bring together the burgeoning developments in sound studies and affect studies. The first section sets out key methodological and theoretical concerns, focussing on the relationships between affective models and sound. The second section deals with particular musical case studies, exploring how reference to affect theory might change or reshape some of the ways we are able to make sense of musical materials. The third section examines the politics and practice of sonic disruption: from the notion of noise as 'prophecy', to the appropriation of 'bad vibes' for pleasurable aesthetic and affective experiences. And the final section engages with some of the ways in which affect can help us understand the politics of chill, relaxation and intimacy as sonic encounters. The result is a rich and multifaceted consideration of sound, music and the affective, from scholars with backgrounds in cultural theory, history, literary studies, media studies, architecture, philosophy and musicology.

Quiet and peaceful, Clipton St Marks looks the epitome of a charming English village, with thatched cottages and splendid mansions surrounded by cultivated gardens. Nestled within rolling hillsides wooded by oak and beech, it appears untouched by the challenges of the world beyondor at least it seems that way to an outsider. But looks can be deceiving.
Wealthy London widow Stella Campbell is out for a drive with her chauffeur on a breezy Sunday afternoon when a flat interrupts their plans near Clipton. While her chauffeur repairs the tyre, Campbell stumbles upon a forgotten, century-old rectory. Determined to breathe life back into what she thinks is her Shangri-La, Campbell purchases the rectory and soon transforms the dilapidated building into a grand new home. Elected a member of the village planning commission, she oversees restoration of Cliptons historic buildings and wins respect from the reticent community.
But just as she is settling in and focusing on new projects, Campbell discovers a friends dead body. Now unwittingly enmeshed in murder, blackmail, and conspiracy with a New Scotland Yard officer as her self-appointed protector, Campbell comes to the realization that Clipton is not the sedate community it once appeared to be.
In this mystery tale filled with unexpected twists and turns, a widow focused on new beginnings must confront her demons as she attempts to triumph over heartbreak and treachery and rebuild her life once again.

Noise is so often a ‘stench in the ear’ – an unpleasant disturbance or an unwelcome distraction. But there is much more to noise than what greets the ear as unwanted sound. Beyond Unwanted Sound is about noise and how we talk about it. Weaving together affect theory with cybernetics, media histories, acoustic ecology, geo-politics, sonic art practices and a range of noises, Marie Thompson critiques both the conservative politics of silence and transgressive poetics of noise music, each of which position noise as a negative phenomenon. Beyond Unwanted Sound instead aims to account for a broader spectrum of noise, ranging from the exceptional to the banal; the overwhelming to the inaudible; and the destructive to the generative. What connects these various and variable manifestations of noise is not negativity but affectivity. Building on the Spinozist assertion that to exist is to be affected, Beyond Unwanted Sound asserts that to exist is to be affected by noise.
