Sounding Emerging Media details a practice-based approach to sonic art and electroacoustic composition, drawing on methodologies inspired by the production of electronic literature, and game development.

Using the structural concepts identified by Gilles Deleuze and F lix Guattari, the book is based around ideas related to labels such as Assemblage, Strata, Smooth and Striated Space, Temporal Space and, The Fold. The processes employed to undertake this research involved the creation of original texts, the development of frameworks for improvisation, the use of recordings within the process and implementation of techniques drawn from the practices of electroacoustic composition, and the use of ideas borrowed from electronic literature, publishing and game development. The results have helped to shape a compositional style which draws on these processes individually or collectively, drawing on practice often seen in game development, visual scores and composition using techniques found in electroacoustic music.

Providing a journey through the landscape of emerging digital media, Sounding Emerging Media envisages a world where the composer/user/listener all become part of a continuum of collective artistry. This book is the ideal guide to the history and creation of audio for innovative digital media formats and represents crucial reading for both students and practitioners, from aspiring composers to experienced professionals.

Industry Reviews

"Starting with the question, 'What might Emerging Media become?', Claire Fitch explores the possibilities of sound creation through the triple lens of electroacoustic composition, electronic literature, and games. With a strong creative practice in music performance and underpinning in DeleuzoGuattarian concepts, she provides case studies and a tool box for others to consider and utilize their own creative output. This is an important book about practice-based research processes that relate to any artistic field."
